Finally, he made his return to the world of professional wrestling. But this time he did not make his return through the promotion that made him famous. This time he decided to choose the biggest rival of WWE right now, the AEW. The return is already being considered as one of the biggest returns in the history of professional wrestling. The ovation and the cheers he received during his return cleared it all how much fans waited for his return.
When he left WWE he was at the peak of his time. He was a scheduled to face Triple H at Wrestlemania 30. But we all know that he wanted to main event Wrestlemania. And this was one of the biggest reasons why he left WWE.
For years she had been building good storyline but WWE was not allowing him to feature on the main event of Wrestlemania. He left the world of professional wrestling after Royal Rumble 2014 and he did not return since. This is the first time he made his return in a professional wrestling ring.

Samoa Joe who is also a former two times WWE United States champion recently spoke to the Kurt Angle Show where he talked about the return of the former six times WWE world champion CM Punk to the world of professional wrestling. He said;
“If I know one thing about Punk: if he’s out on something, he’s out on it. You won’t see him being around it, you won’t see him looking at it, you won’t see him staring at it, it’s out of his life and the minute I saw him on the FOX set, I knew his eyes were turning back towards it, and I think he was just looking for the right place at the right time and he wanted to be happy with it and I think he is. From what I’ve seen, I would gather that he is, so I’m stoked for him and I’m happy to see him back.
“Tremendously important for a lot of reasons, both from a career standpoint and from a business standpoint. It was an opportunity to kind of explore bounds that, personally, I’d never really explored before, doing the longer format matches doing the 60-minute matches and got me acquainted to what I was able to do and if I push myself and go out there.
“It was a great creative effort, you know, anytime you’re in there with Punk, he’s got a tremendously creative mind, great collaborative [effort] going back and forth. It’s always very easy to come up with something great with him. It was a special time and it’s something I really enjoyed, and I definitely do highlight [the trio of matches] as a very important point in my career.”
