CM Punk’s return to AEW seems to be just a matter of time from happening.
Dax Harwood recently came out to note that CM Punk wants to make a return to wrestling, and he misses the fans. There have also been reports that Punk wants for this to happen as well.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reported today that while nothing is set in stone, they’ve been getting hints that the wheels of Punk’s return have been in motion.
As of today, the working plan has been for CM Punk to return at the June 21 episode of Dynamite in Chicago or around then.
The report noted, “There were also pitches of announcing it well ahead of time, even around the Warner Upfronts.”
It was confirmed that Punk has been hopeful to work with The Elite despite their All Out brawl, but it’s unclear whether the two sides have talked. AEW sources indicated that Punk had been trying to push for a meeting with everyone involved for a while, but it’s unclear whether progress was made.
A meeting was planned between CM Punk and Chris Jericho, who have had numerous issues in the past including Jericho telling him that he was a cancer to the AEW locker room after the brawl and Punk knocking Jericho in his Instagram post.
