Silas Young was at the show when CM Punk allegedly made an appearance under a mask. He can't say for certain, but is pretty sure it was actually Punk.

More than five years after CM Punk departed WWE, a large chunk of wrestling's fanbase is still clamoring for his return. Well, later this month, we are sort of getting it. At Starrcast III, Punk will be taking part in an interview and also meeting and greeting fans. For some people, that still won't be enough.

For some, it won't be enough until Punk is back in the ring. The more time that passes, the less likely that becomes. However, it might well have happened at an indie show earlier this year. A mystery man in a mask rushed the ring and delivered a GTS to a wrestler called Derrick St. Holmes.

Rumor has it that the man in the mask was Punk. However, that has never been confirmed. Top indie star Silas Young was at that event and recently gave his two cents on the likelihood of the masked man being Punk. "I got told 10 minutes before by my wife that Punk was gonna do a run-in on Derrick St. Holmes and give a Go To Sleep," Young explained. His wife was involved in the match, so it makes sense that she would know.

"I can't say 100 percent that it was him and I don't know why they would lie about it either," Young added. So still no definitive answer, but it now seems even more likely that the masked man was Punk. Young also reminded us that the building in which the run-in took place was where Punk wrestled his first match. Plus, a couple of the other wrestlers on the show were friends of Punk.

On the one hand, all signs point to the mystery deliverer of the GTS being Punk. On the other hand, there are so many clues suggesting it was him, perhaps that's what those who booked the show knew would happen. Have someone run-in that fans will assume is Punk, and the show will garner a whole bunch of attention. Whether it was The Second City Saint or not, mission accomplished.
