CM Punk has seemingly been on the outs with AEW and Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks for some time, but things may have just changed.
One of our sources has indicated that not only is Punk willing to come back to All Elite, which is something that Sean Ross Sapp and Fightful reported recently, but there is a crucial component to the situation that may now be cleared.
“I was told Omega/Young Bucks willing to work with Punk now, TK also giving offer of improved contracts to Omega/Bucks shortly too, Punk open to storyline ideas with Elite” is exactly what was relayed to us today.
CM Punk AEW Return
We have been unable to verify this with a second source at this time, so please take this as a rumor at this time until we’re able to get more confirmation.
This would be an absolutely huge move for Tony Khan to pull off with the company heading to Wembley Stadium in August of this year.
FTR had floated the idea of a CMFTR vs The Elite match for the All In show at the massive stadium, and we may well be slightly closer to that actually happening.
UPDATE: Sean Ross Sapp has alluded to major news about to break regarding Punk, so we believe it may involve this. Subscribe to Fightful Select for more info.
