Is the AEW World Champion's return imminent?

CM Punk has been out with an injury for just over a month, but according to a recent report from Dave Meltzer, the World Champion could return soon.

Punk's victory over Hangman Page during their AEW Double or Nothing match had the wrestling world excited to witness his reign. Unfortunately, less than a week after his win, CM Punk announced his pending surgery and went on a break.

During the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer briefly shared some of the details he has surrounding the World Champion's return.

“Punk should not be long before he returns, I mean not this month, probably not August, but perhaps All Out, perhaps Full Gear, I think it’ll be one of those shows when he’s back,” Meltzer said. (H/T: WrestleTalk)

Upon his return, Punk will have to take on Jon Moxley in an AEW World Championship unification match. The bout will undoubtedly divide the wrestling universe as both stars have a massive fan following.

With the clash imminent, could fans ultimately be shocked with a heel AEW World Champion instead of their hero?
