In a recent interview with Pardon My Take, WWE’s Executive Vice President of Global Strategy & Development, Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque discussed several topics, including when he last held discussions with former WWE Champion and UFC fighter CM Punk about a potential return to the company.

“The last time that I talked to Punk, about a year and a half to a year and three quarters ago. A funny thing that people will constantly say is when his return is, but in some way, that has to be what he wants.

People will go, make the call, but who says that if we make the call that he wants to answer, what if we make the call and he’s like, I’m not interested in doing that anymore and maybe he’s just done with it, those are conversations that only those people can directly answer.

If he wants to do it, we would get word and have those conversations, or he would make a call. There has to be a desire there to do something like that, this business is too all in to just go, alright, I’ll do it.”
