CM Punk and Daniel Bryan have reportedly been signed in deal with the AEW promotion in the past few weeks. Now with Bray Wyatt’s release, Ric Flair getting granted his release, and Adam Cole reportedly inching closer to a free agency, the All Elite Wrestling promotion could be in for another spree of signings in the near future, continuing their tradition to fill up the roster with ex WWE talents. While many think that this isn’t where they should depend while recruiting talents, they might just continue to do so.

CM Punk is reportedly coming to All Elite Wrestling and that has kept fans excited for all the rightful reasons. After a long gap of seven years, the Second City Savior will finally be there on a televised wrestling show as bettors have also started to gather around some money on the situation.

As you can see, the legendary Sting is the least likely opponent for CM Punk with +1000 odds. However, the Cult of Personality vs. The Icon would be a tremendous draw as well as a dream match for the pro-wrestling fans. AEW might just set that match up eventually, but that’s a long story.

As for the other names, Cody Rhodes, the AEW executive vice president is on the list sharing +700 odds alongside former WWE Superstars Chris Jericho and Matt Hardy. Since Kenny Omega is the reigning world champion of the AEW promotion, betting odds removed him from the list as CM Punk isn’t likely getting a title match, soon after returning.
