CM Punk’s AEW Return Set: Wrestling Fans Divided
CM Punk is coming back to All Elite Wrestling. During AEW Dynamite on Wednesday, Tony Khan announced that the former AEW World Champion will be featured on the company’s new show Collision, which will debut on June 17 at the United Center in Punk’s hometown of Chicago.
Punk has been off AEW TV since last September when he was involved in a backstage altercation with Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks following the pay-per-view event All Out. The incident happened on Sunday, Sept. 4 after Punk’s press conference for the pay-per-view. According to Sports Illustrated, Punk spoke with Omega and the Young Bucks before a fight ensued. Omega, Matt and Nick Jackson of the Young Bucks, Pat Buck, Christopher Daniels, Michael Nakazawa and Brandon Cutler were suspended after the altercation.
Punk made his AEW debut in August 2021 after being away from professional wrestling for nearly 10 years. He’s known for his time in WWE where he won the World Heavyweight Championship three times and the WWE Championship twice. Before WWE, Punk was in Ring of Honor and won the World Championship and Tag Team Championship. Here’s a look at fans reacting to Punk returning to AEW.

Hesitant (I’m not looking forward to it until he proves he’s not gonna be a problem but I feel like that’s a lot to ask for)

Another Youtuber said: “Good to see there is a mixed reaction. I would like CM Punk to have a heel run soon. He’s gonna rock that.”

Strange
It’s weird to see AEW acknowledging Punk again. We’ve had eight months of them basically pretending he never existed. There was nothing and now it’s all “CM Punk will be here and then here…oh, and he’ll also be here.” He suddenly exists again. It really is the second coming.

One fan on YouTube said: “CM Punk being back is certainly interesting. I hope he can make things up with the Bucks and Hangman Adam Page since that one of the reasons the elite hasn’t re signed their contracts probably.”

And this fan commented on YouTube: “I’m not even the biggest fan of him personally, but as an entertainer he’s one of the best.”
