CM Punk made an appearance at Sunday’s IMPACT tapings.
At AEW All In, Punk was involved in yet another backstage altercation. However, this one would be different than those in the past in various ways. Namely, Punk not only fought with Jack Perry, he also reportedly lunged at AEW president Tony Khan while furiously quitting the company.
These events would leave Khan no other choice but to fire the Chicago native with cause, despite Punk’s drawing power and status as the companies “real world’s champion”. Punk has yet to comment on the matter.
Much has been made about the possibility of CM Punk making his way to IMPACT and some more information has now come to light.
Haus of Wresting reports that Punk attended the IMPACT television tapings on October 22.
Haus of Wrestling has learned that while Punk was not at Bound For Glory, he did attend the Impact Wrestling on AXS TV tapings that the following day, also at Cicero Stadium. We are told that The Second City Savior showed up just before the tapings began, around 6:30 pm CST, and was taken to the locker room area. Punk attended an Impact event this past April that created a lot of attention as he was still off AEW TV following his All Out media scrum. This time, to avoid a scene, he showed up closer to bell time and, due to the sun setting earlier this time of year, arrived while it was dark outside.
While backstage, we are told Punk was talking with anyone who wanted to get some time with him, including “key Impact talent” that he spoke to throughout the taping. Since he had attended a taping earlier this year, we are told his presence did not faze any of the talent, as they were more used to his presence.
One person we are told he did not get to spend much time with is Steel, who also served as a producer at the post-Bound For Glory Impact TV tapings. We are told that Steel was warmly received backstage and seemed very happy to be back to work.

Recently, Montez Ford noted that he would welcome CM Punk back to WWE.
We will have to wait and see if Punk will end up making his way to IMPACT Wrestling anytime soon.
