CM Punk Announcement Could Happen Today

We could get a CM Punk return announcement today. We haven’t seen Punk since last September. Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men podcast is reporting a return announcement is expected today or in the coming days. This is huge considering Punk hasn't been seen since beating Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship at All Out.

After Punk beat Moxley he went on the now-famous All Out press conference and ranted about professionalism in the locker rom. After the press conference, The Elite (Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks) reportedly stormed CM Punk’s locker room looking for answers on what they just saw. Punches were reportedly thrown and there was something with CM Punk’s dog Larry. I don’t think we’ve ever really gotten a straight answer on that. The incident has been dubbed “The Brawl Out” The incident lead to CM Punk vacating his just won World Championship. As well as The Elite vacating their recently won AEW World Trios Championships. It also lead to a round of suspensions for the parties involved.

The Elite would return and regain the Titles they had stripped. CM Punk on the other hand was injured during his match with Jon Moxley. So no matter what, CM Punk was vacating the Championship and wouldn’t be seen for an extended period. Since that time, Dave Meltzer is reporting that there hasn’t been any headway in the 4 resolving their issues.

This is leading to the rumoured AEW Collision Show. That reportedly will be the home of CM Punk since he hasn’t made amends with The Elite. There’s a rumoured show that should be an announced for The United Center in Chicago called “The Second Coming” which will feature CM Punk. Punk will be returning in front of his home-town crowd and it should be an incredible show.

I’m so happy we’re getting to see CM Punk again. I mean that he’s my favourite wrestler of all time. My favourite athlete, although Josh Allen could pass him if he gets me a Super Bowl and Punk does some crazy stuff.

What do you think about CM Punk coming back? Are you excited?

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent
