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 this to happen as well.
Fightful Select reported today that while nothing is set in stone, the wheels for Punk’s return have been put in motion.
As of today, the working plan has been for CM Punk to return at the June 21 episode of Dynamite in Chicago, IL 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 2022 brawl, but whether the two sides have talked is unclear. 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 also planned between CM Punk and Chris Jericho, who have had numerous issues in the past.
