Following his historic return to pro wrestling via AEW, CM Punk and AEW President Tony Khan sat down for a media call. In the call, Punk and Khan readdressed and clarified some things.
Punk revealed to his fans that he was back to pro wrestling after 16 years. When he left Ring of Honor, he left pro wrestling. But now he was back for more. He was back on Wednesdays and Fridays, and on some Sundays for PPVs.
But in the call, neither Punk nor Khan fully disclosed Punk’s contract. Khan just said it was not a ‘short-term’ or ‘part-time’ contract. Punk revealed he has been talking to Khan for over a year and a half and wanted the fans to be there for his big day.

Although he does not watch Dark or Elevation and doesn’t really use YouTube, he promised to watch everything. Tony and Punk also joked about how his return was the worst kept secret of all time. Punk just told his wife, AJ Lee, the truth.
However, Punk believed “it was the worst kept secret by design, and surprises and anticipation in wrestling can still happen even in that case. He’s happy they didn’t advertise it.” You can check out Sean Ross Sapp‘s Twitter for more interesting information –
