Former WWE Superstar CM Punk has not been seen on WWE television since the 2014 edition of the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. He walked out on the company the next day and has not looked back since then. Following his WWE exit, many fans have been wanting to see Punk make his return to the company every year. He has yet to make his return to the squared circle and at this point in time, it seems very unlikely. A WWE Superstar was also previously punished for ripping off CM Punk.
CM Punk has been in talks with AEW for quite a while as indicated by reports and it all came true as The Second City Saint made his return to pro wrestling on AEW Rampage: The First Dance back in August.
CM Punk also recently went along with Complex’s Joe La Puma and visited the Stadium Goods store in New York City, where he made a very expensive purchase in the form of sneaker shoes. CM Punk ended up buying $1,800 worth of Air Jordan 1s and seemed very happy with his luxury purchase, even if he was hesitant about it at first.
The Second City Saint recently spoke to The Angi Taylor Show, where he revealed that going back to WWE was never on the table for him.
“I don’t think I considered it. Three years ago, five years ago I don’t think AEW even existed. I don’t think going back to WWE was ever really, logically, on the table.
