One year later, CM Punk says his AEW run is the best of his career so far.
August 20, 2021, CM Punk returned to pro wrestling after seven-and-a-half years away at AEW Rampage: The First Dance. In his first year, CM Punk was afforded opportunities to team with Sting, reconnect with his ROH roots, win another world championship, and even wear longbois.
Now, CM Punk has taken to social media to reflect on his first year, calling it the best year of his career in an Instagram post:
One year ago began the best year of my professional career. Too many great moments, not enough space to post all the great pics. Rekindled passion, made new friends, reunited with old ones. Can’t stop smiling, won’t stop until the wheels fall off. Thank you most of all to all the fans who made it possible. I’m having the time of my life, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame.
CM Punk will face Jon Moxley on Wednesday, August 24 in order to unify the AEW World Championships. In his first promo since returning from injury, CM Punk stirred the pot and verbally attacked Jon Moxley, Eddie Kingston, and Hangman Page. Learn more here.
