It’s no secret that CM Punk has a talent for alienating people and burning bridges, and thanks to the All Out post-show media scrum and his subsequent actions and comments, his run in AEW has been severely tainted. Nevertheless, with his torn triceps injury believed to be healed, AEW management has a big decision to make. As while Punk would likely help with ratings, it’s doubtful most of his peers will be happy to see him, with this now being corroborated by Wade Keller of PWTorch.com.
From what I can gather…the sentiment is that he’s just not welcomed back. The wrestlers don’t want him back. The majority of wrestlers don’t want him back. I would go as far as even saying that my sources are saying the mass majority of wrestlers don’t want him back.
Wade KellerInitially, CM Punk and AEW seemed a match made in heaven, and with the former WWE seemingly out to prove he not only still had it but was still among the best in the world. Sadly though, despite so many excellent matches, it now seems all AEW fans will remember him for is causing disruption and tarnishing what should have been an all-time great run.
