Page, who will be on hand Saturday night to induct good friend and protégé Jake "The Snake" Roberts into the Hall of Fame at the New Orleans Arena, said he thinks Punk will return Sunday night.

"I think Punk's awesome and he could write his own ticket right now but he needs time down," Page told WrestleTalk TV. "Will we see him come back for 'Mania? I believe so. I believe take the time down get your head straight and come back. He's a brand and he's created his own brand unlike any others. I think he will come back but I have seen those things like when Brian Pillman left WCW it was a work across the board, it became a shoot."
