With CM Punk’s future in AEW remaining uncertain following his comments made at the AEW All Out media scrum and the backstage fight with The Elite, there has been speculation about him potentially returning to WWE.
An important factor in that possibility is his recovery from the injury he suffered at All Out when he beat Jon Moxley for the World Heavyweight Title.
Punk has a torn left triceps. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that Punk’s rehab is ‘going really well,’ which has fans hoping he is ahead of schedule regarding when he will be cleared.
It remains unclear where Punk’s future lies following his injury. After making his return in 2021, those close to him have said that Punk has caught the bug for wrestling again.
As previously reported, Colt Cabana’s return reportedly made things worse between AEW and CM Punk. There’s also speculation of Punk returning to WWE for a match at WrestleMania 39 with Steve Austin.
