Well, he did answer. Ever since the announcement of AEW, the one major name on a lot of fans’ minds has been CM Punk. While Punk has not wrestled since 2014, fans have talked about the possibility of him returning to the ring for AEW as one of their top stars. Punk has responded so some of the fans’ comments on Twitter and that is the case again this time, in a more amusing way.
Earlier this week, Punk was asked on Twitter about whether he would appear at All Out on August 31. The event will be held in Punk’s hometown of Chicago and a fan got in on the sarcasm by asking if Punk would disappoint his fans by not showing up. Punk replied with a simple “yes”, followed by responding to some more tweets about returning to the ring and his attitude towards wrestling now that he is retired.

Wrong. Not resentful at all. Appreciative of everything that’s happened on my journey. We are all fleeting things. Enjoy it.

No. If you set out for revenge, dig two graves. I’ve evolved and moved on. Long ago.

Punk has certainly been around. Check out another dream confrontation from back in the day:
Opinion: I don’t think Punk is going to show up in AEW, but it would be quite the get if he did. Punk is one of the great what if’s left in wrestling and AEW managing to get him to appear, even if it is just for a single match, would make them look like an even bigger deal. Having him show up is a different story though, and while I can’t imagine it happening, it’s certainly fun to think about.
