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 of 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, it seems very unlikely. A WWE Superstar was also previously punished for ripping off CM Punk.Â
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.
When a wrestling writer called out Swerve Strickland for including race in the Sasha Banks and Naomi walkout fiasco, Strickland fired back in a huge way. Ryan Satin then jumped in, which led to CM Punk decimating him as well.
Swerve then said that racist journalists had no place in the wrestling community. Satin said that Swerve taunted his fiancé over the death of her father and called him a scumbag. CM Punk then defended Swerve Strickland.
Racist journalists like this shouldn't be accepted in the community or tolerated…. @k100informer pic.twitter.com/zbYsm3XqnK
