CM Punk made an impact by returning to wrestling as well as selling t-shirts by appearing on AEW Rampage.
The former WWE Champion made his promotional debut on Friday’s episode of Rampage on TNT in his hometown at the United Center, which was AEW’s biggest audience to date.
He talked about why he returned and challenged Darby Allin to a match at the September 5th All Out pay-per-view event.
Pro Wrestling Tees noted on Twitter that the new t-shirt for AEW’s latest signee set a new record for the most t-shirts sold in 24 hours. The shirt is priced at $24.99.

Sting and the late Brodie Lee previously held the record. Punk will make his next AEW appearance on Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite.
