Booker T believes WWE fans will see CM Punk in the ring again - maybe as soon as at the Royal Rumble.

The two-time WWE Champion arrived during the show's final moments, entering to the sounds of Living Colour's "Cult of Personality," Punk's entrance music during his storied in-ring career.
Punk's appearance has prompted speculation among fans that he will soon be returning to the ring, and although at this stage he is only employed in a pundit capacity for the Backstage show, Booker T feels that could change very soon.
"It's inevitable and seems like he's gonna have to transition back over to the other side," he told . "The Rumble is coming up, and that might be a good time to make a transition after getting your feet wet for a few.
"He's gonna have the itch. Of course he's gonna get the itch.
"CM Punk is probably gonna look at the roster and say, 'Man, I think I can work better than this guy. Man, I know I can work better than him. Oh, good God. Coach, put me in the game! It's one of those type of deals."
