CM Punk hasn’t appeared on AEW programming since last year when he wrestled Jon Moxley in the main event at AEW All Out, but in recent weeks it’s been reported that All Elite Wrestling is preparing for his return.
AEW will reportedly be launching a third show set to air on Saturdays that will be called Collision, and the expectation is that CM Punk will be the star of the show. It’s also expected that AEW will be using the show to split the roster with talents like The Elite and Blackpool Combat Club staying on Wednesday nights.
During a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed CM Punk’s potential AEW return and he noted that a lot of people aren’t happy about Punk making his way beck to AEW.
“People have to know because the deal is a lot of the talent is going to be staying on Wednesday and a lot is going to be staying on Saturday. The other aspect of it is a lot of talent is unhappy about Punk being back so they’ve been told ‘you don’t have to worry about it because he’s gonna be one show and you’re gonna be on one show’ but they’re still unhappy.”
