In August of 2021, CM Punk finally made his long awaited return to wrestling when he made his AEW debut. Punk went on to became a two time AEW World Champion and he also faced a number of wrestlers from the AEW roster.
During a recent appearance on Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg, CM Punk was asked if there was anyone in AEW that he didn’t get to tell a story with that he would have liked to, and the former champion’s response was brutally honest.
“No. I feel like I wasted some matches on some people, for sure. That is what it is. Some people understand the business and some people don’t. I think everybody here understands the business.”
Throughout his time with AEW, CM Punk feuded with names such as MJF, Jon Moxley and Darby Allin just to name a few. His last match inside an AEW ring took place at the All In pay-per-view in August of 2023 when he defeated Samoa Joe. Shortly after CM Punk was fired from All Elite Wrestling.
Currently CM Punk is part of the WWE roster and he just wrapped up a much talked about feud with Drew McIntyre when he defeated Drew at Bad Blood in October. The next night on Raw, CM Punk announced that he’s not clear what the future holds for him in regard to when he will wrestle again, so at this point it’s not clear when he will be back on TV.
