Even though it looks like CM Punk is on his way out of AEW, he made friendships with various talent including FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood).
Punk worked with the tag team in three tag matches while in AEW, with two being against them and the other being their tag team partner. He also shared the ring with Harwood in singles competition as they worked a singles match in March on Dynamite.
As seen below, Punk and Dax reunited this weekend as Harwood shared the following photo on his Instagram stories that Punk also shared:

Punk has been on the sidelines due to injury and being suspended for his part in the brawl with The Elite. He has been talking with AEW about them buying out the remaining time on his contract, with the only hang-up being the non-compete period of the buyout clause.
Earlier this month, Punk added fuel to the rumors that he will head back to WWE when his time in AEW ends on Instagram.
