Ever since his abrupt exit from WWE in 2014, a return to the squared circle was always mooted for CM Punk. A failed attempt at UFC and a sub-par acting career later, Punk did make a long-awaited return. However, the return came in an AEW ring, albeit to one of the loudest pops. A raucous reception by his hometown followers kick-started Punk’s AEW career with a bang. And it all went quite well for the wrestler from the start until September this year, when he got himself suspended for his actions. Punk recently took a dig at himself during an MMA event.

After beating Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship, Punk attended a post-match press conference. He took direct shots at The Elites, a stable consisting of wrestlers Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson. The trio also serves as the Executive Vice Presidents for the promotion. Punk’s comments caused a huge locker room bust-up, as he is said to have traded punches with the group, and security had to be called up.

CM Punk takes a dig at himself

Punk recently appeared as a color commentator for the Cage Fury Fighting Championships. And his co-commentators were quick to point out his ouster from the AEW roster. They took a dig at Punk’s inclusion in the injury list by AEW, joking that he was nursing a shoulder injury.

Punk came up with an immediate response, he jokingly said: “Listen, everything is hurt, I’m nursing everything”. He even went on to add, “I’m bad news you don’t want me anywhere near the locker room”.
