CM Punk hasn’t appeared on AEW programming since the All Out pay-per-view in September of 2022 and his backstage altercation with The Elite following the show has been a hot topic ever since then. As of right now CM Punk’s future with AEW is unknown, but there’s been a lot of speculation regarding whether or not he could return to the company at some point.
Last week Tony Khan announced that AEW All In will take place from Wembley Stadium in August which means AEW is likely going to try and put on the biggest show possible. Dax Harwood of FTR noted that CM Punk & FTR vs. The Elite would be his dream match for the show.
During a recent episode of his FTR with Dax Harwood podcast, Dax talked a little bit more about the possible match while saying that CM Punk wants to return to wrestling.
“I will say this the reason I’m fantasy booking that [CM Punk and FTR vs. The Elite] is because outside of Roman Reigns and you please correct me if I’m wrong, outside of Roman Reigns and maybe, this is not including like Brock Lesnar, or Logan Paul or whatever. But outside of Roman Reigns and maybe Cody Rhodes, the biggest name in professional wrestling right now is CM Punk. Right? Definitely the biggest name in AEW.
So if we want, if we want to take AEW to the next level, if we’re here to work for AEW, if we’re here to make professional wrestling better because of AEW, the way you do that is you take the biggest star that you have, and one of the biggest stars in the world, and you put them on the card, and you make money with them. Also, on top of saying that, I talk to Punk almost every day, and Punk misses wrestling, that’s your headline, Punk misses wrestling, and Punk wants to come back. And he wants to give back to the fans, he wants to get back to wrestling. So I’ll leave it at that.”
