Tony Khan has always wanted CM Punk to return to the ring with All Elite Wrestling.
CM Punk is scheduled to make his return to the ring this Saturday on AEW Collision. He will face off with Bullet Club Gold and Samoa Joe in trios action while teaming with AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, AEW President Tony Khan was asked if there was ever any doubt about Punk’s return, something that Punk recently admitted he had himself.
“For me, I always wanted to get CM Punk back in the ring and I’m really excited that it’s finally happening tomorrow night. I always wanted to make that happen and I’m glad it’s happening.”
“I think so too. It’s going to be really great to have CM Punk back in Chicago and back in AEW. He’s a huge star and it’s going to be a really exciting night for the fans. We’re trying to build a tradition on Saturday night and bring Saturday night wrestling back. I think CM Punk will be a huge part of that.”
