It doesn’t look like Tony Khan has any intention of letting CM Punk leave AEW.
According to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it was reported that Tony Khan has kept CM Punk on ice for the time being. In addition to that, it was noted that Khan has no plans to release CM Punk.
“We’re still months away from when Tony Khan will have to make a call regarding Punk. It’s not the easiest call because of all that happened, but Punk was a ratings draw and ratings are weaker than before generally even if there’s positive house show movement.
Right now from the Punk side, the belief is that Tony Khan has put Punk on ice for now, as there are no ideas to use him that have been presented but no talk at all of late to release him either.”

Only time will tell whether CM Punk will be making his return to AEW television, as it seems unlikely right now.
