Fans convinced CM Punk is returning for Royal Rumble match after WWE legend’s teasing tweet
CM PUNK has sent WWE fans wild after hinting at a sensational return at the upcoming Royal Rumble.
The wrestling legend has not appeared in-ring for the company since a highly-publicised bust-up and the infamous 'pipe bomb' promo.
The 41-year-old retired from the business, and went on to have an unsuccessful career in the UFC, being embarrassed in both of his fights.
And Punk has now teased a stunning comeback after replying to now-retired star Paige on Twitter earlier this week.
The ex-women's champ had joked with fans she was going to enter the men's Royal Rumble pay-per-view event next Sunday.
She jokingly threatened to eliminate Brock Lesnar from the No2 entrant position, before going on to win the match and get a title shot at WrestleMania 36.
And Punk replied to the post with a famous internet meme of two Spidermans looking at each other, hinting he will be doing the same.
That sent the WWE universe into overdrive, with more than two thousand social media users liking their hero's reply.
One fan immediately said: "Don't give me hope!"
