CM Punk's return to WWE seems inevitable, but not in the role that we think. He will be working alongside Renee Young in what is apparently a "done deal". It will be as an analyst on FOX and won't be working directly with WWE. He will be under the FOX banner.

When talking on The Collider Live Podcast, Punk revealed the nature of his role.

"My agents just called me and FOX is throwing everything at this because they spent a lot of money on this and they're all in to make it work. Originally I thought it was a WWE thing, so I was just like, 'meh, no.' But then they said, 'this is FOX.'
I'm not dealing with anybody in WWE. They explained to me what it was and I love Renee Young. Renee Young is a great person... I prefaced it with, 'Guys, I'm not going to come in and dump all over stuff just to dump on it. That's old Phil. But if it's bad, I'm not going to be able to pretend it's anything but bad."

CM Punk even teased meeting The Rock again and it would be crazy if The Rock were the one to reveal that CM Punk will have a different role in WWE. Any mention of his name would incite a huge response.
