CM Punk is one of those names that we still here in WWE Universe chants. He is the best in the world. Punk walked out from WWE back in 2014 in a very bad terms. But, still fans are craving for his return. He made a comeback in WWE as a panelist in a FOX show WWE Backstage. Unfortunately, show got cancelled earlier this year due to poor ratings.
According to Fightful Select, Punk is in the talks for potential in-ring return and most likely it’ll be AEW.
CM Punk has been in talks to make a return to pro wrestling as an in-ring performer, with sources indicating that AEW is the most likely landing point. We have no confirmation of a contract officially being signed, a timetable, a set return date, or any creative plans, only that Punk and a company official have had ongoing conversations about an in-ring return.
We have seen Cena and Goldberg made their huge returns this week and now if somehow Tony Khan pulled this off this will be the best year of pro wresting and crowd will blow the roof off with ‘CM Punk’ chants. Also, AEW’s ALL OUT is set to take place at Chicago and it’s the hometown of Punk so there’s a possibility that he might show up after the main event just like Cena showed up at MITB.
Dave Meltzer from WON, was then asked about whether Punk will return in WWE again. He said that with Vince McMahon, there was always a chance. Vince has been known to put business above everything else and a possible return for CM Punk could see the same:
There is nothing irreparable when it comes to wrestling and when it comes to Vince, especially now. The more things go down, the more something like that becomes enticing. But then it’s also up to Punk and does he wanna wrestle? I know that Vince recently, as in a couple of months ago, was pretty adamant in that no, he wouldn’t bring him back. But he always changes his mind when it comes to things and as business gets worse, you’re looking for answers. There are no easy answers so you go to the hard ones and that’s a shot in the dark. How many times can they go back to Bill Goldberg? You know what I’m saying?

CM Punk return to WWE or AEW is always a hot topic for pro wrestling fans. However, we are able to see Punk is showing interest to WWE return.
