CM Punk walked away from professional wrestling in 2014, and it seems that he made quite the impression on the fans throughout the course of his career because they chanted his name for 7 years.
Punk finally made his highly anticipated return back in August during AEW Rampage at the United Center in Chicago, and during an appearance on ESPN’s Sportsnation CM Punk named his AEW debut the number one moment of his career.
“I definitely think it’s the number one moment of my career. I’ve been fortunate, I‘ve done a lot of cool things, won titles, sold out buildings, wrestled a lot of big names. But to come back after seven years and have that be the response? It shows you that I think that I left my fingerprints all over the industry.
“I know we cheated a little bit and it was in my hometown, but still, to sell out the United Center on a rumor and to come back and feel that love, it’s pretty incredible. And it’s still a little bit overwhelming to tell you the truth.”
