Punk was slowly turning out to be the face of the promotion. He was the biggest star of WWE just after John Cena. He was actually the biggest competition of John Cena back in the time and a lot of fans believed that he was even a bigger superstar than John Cena in his time.

Even after leaving the world of professional wrestling more than seven years ago he is still one of the most talked about wrestlers among the fans and everyone is dying to see him coming back to the world of professional wrestling once again. CM Punk made his AEW debut recently on AEW Rampage.

Professional wrestling Legend Konnan recently spoke to Pro Wrestling 4 Life where he talked about CM Punk joining AEW. He said;

“I actually asked him (Tony Khan) at a show, and he goes, ‘You know I can’t tell you that’ That meant to me he was coming, and they didn’t put on two extra shows in Chicago just because. I just think the place is gonna f**king melt, bro. That’s the most anticipated arrival ever.”

He’s a hometown boy, rebellious. The guy WWE didn’t want. Because AEW, to me, is a fan base that was made because WWE didn’t give them what they wanted, and this is their hero, and if Bryan Danielson shows up, sh*ts really gonna get real. I’m serious, bro. Those are two big huge acquisitions, gamechangers. It’s letting them (WWE) know, sh*t’s on, bro. We’re here to compete. You think we’re number two? Sh*t’s on, let’s go.”
