PWInsider (via WrestleZone) reports that WWE and CM Punk obviously had contact recently as the two sides worked out a deal which allows WWE to resume selling CM Punk merchandise on WWE.com. The deal should not be taken as a sign that Punk is returning to WWE soon though, as he has no deal in place as a performer.

The word from Punk’s camp continues to be that he has no plans to return to wrestling in any capacity anytime soon.

Punk was under contract to WWE until July, but once that deal expired, WWE stopped selling his merchandise since Punk owned the CM Punk rights. Punk’s camp sent WWE a legal letter about his likeness being used in merchandise and WWE 2K15, leading to the new merchandise deal between the two.
