Since the news broke last week that there are talks going on between AEW and CM Punk about a contract buyout and Ace Steel’s release, there has been speculation that the investigation is wrapping up which could mean that The Elite will be back soon.
It is notable that The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega are back in TV commercials, which has been seen as a sign that they are returning soon. Additionally, Tony Schiavone mentioned Omega and The Young Bucks last week on Dynamite in reference to them being the first-ever AEW World Trios Champions.
Fightful Select reported today that there’s been talk backstage about The Bucks and Omega returning to work soon, at least in a backstage capacity. One source reportedly said that their return could happen “imminently” but there is no definite answer on when exactly they will be back. There was also a meeting scheduled for last week but there were no details available on what was said.
As for the status of Punk, it looks like fans should not expect him back in AEW but, there are new developments on a potential WWE return for him. Click here for more on that story.
