AEW fans on social media have reacted to rumors that a former WWE Champion is teasing a potential return to the company. Many of them want Tony Khan to bring him back.The star in question is, of course, CM Punk. Despite not being on TV since September 2022, he is still one of the most talked about members of the All Elite Wrestling roster.One of the reasons behind the buzz is that fans don't know whether CM Punk is coming back to the company. But after a recent tease on Instagram, Dave Meltzer believes that Punk wants a second chance.WrestlePurists@WrestlePurists“What it says is that he wants back in (AEW).

To me Punk was making a passive aggressive shot at Tony Khan and how weak he is.The former AEW World Champion was recently spotted at a major wrestling event in CaliforniaJust because he is seemingly at odds with one wrestling company (or many depending on who you ask), doesn't mean CM Punk has lost the passion to get back in the ring.In fact, Punk has been getting a taste of live wrestling again. He was in attendance for the recent Battle in the Valley event hosted by New Japan Pro-Wrestling.Drainmaker 🌧️ 💵@DrainBamagerCM Punk is in San Jose to attend the NJPW Battle in the Valley show!1716153CM Punk is in San Jose to attend the NJPW Battle in the Valley show! https://t.co/t4HX4UPMdBPunk was seen in the audience with Lars Frederiksen, the rhythm guitarist for the punk rock band Rancid. During the show, Eddie Kingston banished Jay White from NJPW, Mercedes Moné won her first IWGP Women's Championship, and Kazuchika Okada defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi.Do you think CM Punk will go back to All Elite Wrestling?
