To hopefully avoid splitting discussion between the UFC and WWE threads, here's a new thread.

What we know:
-eight-fight deal
-supposed to fight in 2015
-fighting at either middleweight or welterweight
-nothing else

Punk will be interviewed by Ariel Helwani on FS1 at 1am EST, after the UFC 181 PPV.

Dana said this yesterday:

http://mmajunkie.com/2014/12/dana-white-to-discuss-ufc-fight-with-cm-punk-says-ex-wwe-star-will-be-at-ufc-181

quote:

“He’s not a guy that we would do what we did with Brock; we threw Brock right to the wolves,” White said. “Brock started fighting all the top heavyweights in the world because of his wrestling background.

“CM Punk, we would bring him in just like any regular fighter, and he would fight a guy with a similar record to his, which is 0-0.”

ESPN actually got a ton of e-mails from WWE while they were writing this article insisting they really wanted to do a report on Sheamus.

The ironic thing here is that Punk could see this as an opportunity to make his stock rise then waltz back into WWE on a part-time schedule like Brock...but he might get so hosed up that he'll never be able to pass a WWE physical again

If he went back yesterday, there's no way they would have given him a part-time schedule. If he makes himself an attraction outside of WWE, they might allow it.

WWE wouldn't be setting the rules in any theoretical (because it will probably never, ever, ever happen) comeback by CM Punk.
