CM Punk dropped a cryptic hint implying his AEW return is imminent

The Second City Saint was last seen on AEW programming at All Out 2022 pay-per-view. It was a bittersweet night for CM Punk. He managed to capture the AEW World championship. However, Punk’s tyrant of negative comments towards Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, and some others at the media scrum invited trouble. This led to a real-life brawl between CM Punk and the trio and lead to his suspension. Despite what happened, Tony Khan and his team have reportedly been trying to work out a deal with CM Punk regarding his return for quite a while now.

However, the speculations went rapid with the announcement of AEW’s new show, Collision. They announced the premiere to take place on June 17, taking place in Punk’s hometown, Chicago. Since then, fans have been hoping and buzzing about CM Punk’s return at Collision. Now, it looks like those hopes and prayers have been answered.

Recently, a fan created a video on Instagram to hype about AEW Collision. The video had the guy listening to Punk’s entrance music ‘Cult of Personality’ and a reminder to fans to be at the show using various scenes. To the shock of many, CM Punk liked the post and dropped a saluting emoji in the comments. The fan took a screenshot and uploaded it on Twitter and in no time, the internet was ablaze with the fans’ reactions.

CM Punk has not been around for so long on TV. Yet it only took one emoji for him to get the fans excited to tune in for AEW’s newest show on Saturday Nights. This shows the level of star power possessed by the former WWE champion.

CM Punk has been rumored to appear at AEW Collision for a long time

As mentioned, the first edition of AEW Collision is scheduled to take place in Chicago at the United Center. AEW had ignited the fire to create buzz for their show by selecting a venue that seemed apt for Punk’s return.

The company’s higher-ups have laid the foundations for a brilliant and well-thought strategy. Furthermore, they might have perceived it long before as a huge debut for Collision with, perhaps, the biggest draw of their company returning. Now that CM Punk himself has added fuel to that burning fire, it seems that Tony Khan and his crew would make an enormous impact with their first dance itself.
