WWE Backstage panelist Paige had recently posted an amusing tweet, stating that she is coming back at the Royal Rumble. She joked that she'll enter the Men's Royal Rumble match, take Brock Lesnar to Suplex City, and ultimately win the free-for-all. It's not a secret that Paige has been consistently bombarded with fan questions about a possible return to the ring, ever since she announced her retirement back in 2018, and this tweet seems like a jibe at those fans.

The tweet garnered an interesting response from none other than WWE Backstage analyst and special contributor, CM Punk. The former WWE Champion posted a gif in his reply, featuring the "Spider-Man Pointing at Spider-Man" meme. It suggests that Punk is thinking to do the exact same thing that Paige has planned. Check out the tweets below:
While Paige's tweet is nothing more than an amusing joke, Punk's response has raised the hopes of many, as can be seen in the replies to his tweet. With WrestleMania 36 approaching fast, it wouldn't be surprising to learn that WWE is actively pursuing Punk for a shocking return to the ring. Punk wrestled his final WWE match back in 2014, when he appeared in the Royal Rumble match at the namesake PPV.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
