SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis has recently addressed a clip on social media that has garnered attention regarding his comments about CM Punk potentially returning to the WWE.
The clip, taken from an interview with BBC Radio Norfolk, features Aldis expressing his belief in the possibility of CM Punk returning to the WWE due to his significant fan base and ability to drive ticket sales and merchandise.
In response to the clip, Aldis took to X to express his disappointment, stating that the clip was “edited out of context” and expressing his surprise at the BBC’s involvement in such misrepresentation. He emphasised that he does not take sides in the matter and suggested that it is beyond his jurisdiction, concluding with a call for better journalism standards.
The clip and Aldis’ subsequent response have sparked a viral reaction, with many fans and wrestling enthusiasts weighing in on the potential return of CM Punk to the WWE. Despite the buzz surrounding the topic, the company has not indicated any imminent talks or plans for CM Punk’s return to the company.
I'm disappointed that this answer is edited out of context, considering it's the BBC. For the record, I have no dog in the fight, and that situation is above my paygrade. Be better journalists. https://t.co/BEVBMJDHk1
