No, see that's what makes the CMBR so unique. It comes from everywhere in the sky (our entire view of the Universe) so can't come from any localized event. And it is incredibly the same in every direction. Almost exactly the same temperature in every direction.
The measurements that have been made to show some structure within it are on the level of millikelvin. If you had your monitor show a pure white screen, the variation in brightness is millions of times more than the variation in that background temperature. There are few ways to explain such a source coming from all directions. close(-)
