New York City, 8 October - John Cena believes that his last run in WWE is on the horizon. ## With Roman Reigns absent from WWE for an extended period, Cena has emerged as the prominent figure stepping in to fill the void, possibly embarking on an unexpected run. Cena's current schedule was not initially planned, making WWE appreciate his availability to fill this crucial role. ## Presently, Cena has been making appearances on episodes of Friday Night SmackDown. Recently, he teamed up with LA Knight to defeat Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso. Additionally, he is scheduled to participate in WWE Crown Jewel next month. ## During the WWE Fastlane Press Conference, John Cena was questioned about the potential conclusion of his current run once his commitments are fulfilled. He confirmed that it would indeed conclude and explained that he cannot simultaneously manage both roles. ## “They do, they do. I’ve made it perfectly clear that you can’t do both, because of the liability insurance," Cena explained. "If I were to try to juggle both, then that would be selfish because I would put a lot of people out of work if something happened to me. ## Cena stated that he stopped the project he was in:, "I stopped the project I was in. I can’t even talk about what the project was because of the strike, and we’re in the middle of it. So, as soon as I can get back to work, I get back to work. I don’t control any of that, just crossing my fingers to hope that they can figure that out. In the meantime, I came back to help with my family.” ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Las Vegas, 7 October - WWE is showing confidence in the prospect of CM Punk making a return to the company. After his departure from AEW, there has been speculation about his future, with WWE insiders expressing their belief that Punk would consider signing with WWE if there was interest from the company. Over the past year, there have been indications that Punk was open to the idea of returning to WWE, but as of two weeks ago, there were no confirmed talks between him and WWE. ## In late September, it seemed that there were tentative inquiries from Punk to WWE to gauge interest. A suggestion from one WWE employee was that having a direct conversation with Vince McMahon would be the best way to secure a return. It's worth noting that in the past, Vince McMahon had been firm in expressing disinterest in bringing Punk back, although Fox had advocated for his return before he joined AEW. ## According to Fightful Select, CM Punk would indeed consider signing with WWE. However, it's important to note that there is still lingering tension between Punk and WWE, dating back to his last run almost ten years ago. Many individuals within WWE would want to be consulted in the event of Punk's return to prevent any conflicts similar to those witnessed during his time in AEW. ## One top WWE star emphasized that Punk would have to adhere to a different code of conduct in WWE, as there would be no room for his previous antics. When discussing Punk's potential return with other top talent, there was a consensus that the primary conversation should be with Punk himself. Some believed that Triple H might be hesitant to take on the negativity that Punk could bring, although it wouldn't be the first time Triple H has worked with someone carrying baggage during his tenure. ## Within AEW, some top stars noted that Punk had openly expressed his dislike for WWE, Triple H, and Vince McMahon before the Brawl Out event. They would be surprised if he chose to return to WWE, especially given his current career situation, which is perceived as less forgiving. ## It's important to clarify that as of now, nobody in WWE, whether talent or creative, has been informed about Punk's potential return. Information regarding future plans related to Punk's return is limited, with very few individuals being privy to such details. ## Sources close to Punk have openly discussed his interest in returning to WWE, with some even stating that if there were genuine WWE interest, he would consider it. However, there is a significant issue in that both Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns have previously expressed their unfavorable opinions of Punk. Most parties involved believe that reconciliations would need to take place to facilitate a successful return. ## One WWE source strongly believed that when Punk appeared backstage at WWE Raw earlier this year, he was attempting to get his job back. However, the overall sentiment is that based on that experience, a return to WWE is unlikely. Some suggest that Punk's appearance was aimed at building alliances, particularly considering the bumps in the road leading to his eventual return to AEW. # Another aspect of the discussion revolves around workload. Punk took pride in being a regular presence on AEW programming, and his salary exceeded that of many top WWE stars who work full-time. WWE sources feel that Punk's bargaining power has diminished over time, and this could play a significant role in negotiations regarding his schedule and compensation if he does decide to return. ## Lastly, it's worth mentioning that while it's highly unlikely, the IMPACT Wrestling locker room would welcome Punk, as he made a positive impression during a backstage visit several months ago. # CM Punk was indeed reached for comment but did not receive a response. ## There is no official confirmation of Punk's return to WWE, and many top WWE talents are opposed to the idea. However, both those close to Punk and WWE insiders believe it's a possibility, but there are significant hurdles to overcome. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

LA Knight and Jimmy Uso squared off in a singles match, but the contest failed to reach a conclusion as Solo Sikoa made a disruptive entrance, throwing the match into disarray.## Following this chaos, The Judgement Day joined in, intensifying the assault on LA Knight. Initially, 16-time world champion John Cena attempted to intervene, but the sheer numbers of The Bloodline and The Judgment Day proved overwhelming. Eventually, Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso entered the fray, standing alongside John Cena and LA Knight in a united front against the combined might of The Bloodline and The Judgment Day. ## #2.

However, Cameron Grimes came to Lee's aid, leveling the playing field by neutralizing Waller. This strategic intervention by Grimes created an opening for Dragon Lee, who seized the opportunity and secured the pinfall victory over Theory. ## #3. Bobby Lashley defeated Rey Mysterio ## In a separate singles bout, Bobby Lashley dominated Rey Mysterio.

In response, John Cena made a surprise entrance, seemingly aligning himself against The Bloodline. ## The segment reached its conclusion as Knight and Cena joined forces to fend off the members of The Bloodline, leaving the audience in anticipation of what would unfold next. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
