CM Punk is not sitting at home enjoying being out of the ring as he missed it.
AEW All Out 2022 was a bad night for CM Punk. He would go on a rant against Hangman Adam Page and The Elite during the All Out media scrum, which would lead to a confrontation between the two parties backstage at the event.
While speaking on his FTR podcast, Dax Harwood was quite candid about his desire to team with CM Punk against The Elite. He would also mention that CM Punk misses wrestling amid his hiatus from the company.
“I will say this the reason I’m fantasy booking that [CM Punk and FTR vs. The Elite] is because outside of Roman Reigns and you please correct me if I’m wrong, outside of Roman Reigns and maybe, this is not including like Brock Lesnar, or Logan Paul or whatever. But outside of Roman Reigns and maybe Cody Rhodes, the biggest name in professional wrestling right now is CM Punk. Right? Definitely the biggest name in AEW.”
“So if we want, if we want to take AEW to the next level, if we’re here to work for AEW, if we’re here to make professional wrestling better because of AEW, the way you do that is you take the biggest star that you have, and one of the biggest stars in the world, and you put them on the card, and you make money with them. Also, on top of saying that, I talk to Punk almost every day, and Punk misses wrestling, that’s your headline, Punk misses wrestling, and Punk wants to come back. And he wants to give back to the fans, he wants to get back to wrestling. So I’ll leave it at that.”
Dax Harwood
Punk has not been seen since that faithful night last year, and there is no telling if we will return to AEW.
Meanwhile, Dax Harwood would win the AEW Tag Team Titles on last week’s Dynamite along with his partner Cash Wheeler.
