CM Punk is coming back.
CM Punk will make his official return to AEW on the premiere episode of AEW Collision on June 17. Punk hasn't been on AEW TV since AEW All Out 2022 when he won the AEW World Title from Jon Moxley, but suffered a torn triceps in the bout. During the post-show press conference, Punk aired his grievances with Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson), Hangman Page, and more. His comments led to a backstage altercation pitting Punk and Ace Steel against Omega and the Bucks.
A vignette aired during the June 14 episode of AEW Dynamite hyping Punk's return where he said that he has scores to settle and a lot to say when a mic is in his hands on the June 17 episode of AEW Collision.
