As the buzz surrounding CM Punk’s potential return to wrestling continues to grow, the situation with AEW has become increasingly interesting. The former WWE superstar appears to be exploring his options, with a possible AEW return now seeming highly likely.
According to recent reports, CM Punk has been pitching ideas for his return to television, with a meeting involving Chris Jericho, FTR, and Tony Khan apparently taking place. While the details of the meeting have not been revealed, it seems the outcome was positive, with wrestling insider Andrew Zarian confirming on Wrestling Observer Live that CM Punk’s return to AEW is “essentially happening.”
While talks between Punk and the Elite are yet to take place, it’s worth noting that Matt and Nick Jackson of the Young Bucks have reportedly been reluctant to work with the former WWE star. Kenny Omega, on the other hand, may be more open to the idea, as Punk’s criticisms during a previous media scrum were primarily directed towards the Young Bucks.
Regardless of who he ends up working with, CM Punk’s potential return to AEW could be a game-changer for the company. Only time will tell what the future holds for Punk in Tony Khan’s promotion, but it seems the book is far from closed on this exciting new chapter in his wrestling career.
