CM Punk seemingly throws shade at AEW during WWE RAW on Netflix

CM Punk seemingly alluded to his past in AEW while appearing on the Netflix debut of WWE RAW. The Best in the World was set for singles action against his long-time rival, Seth Rollins.

CM Punk looked to settle the score with The Visionary on the first episode of Monday Night RAW on Netflix. The Straight Edge Superstar was seen sporting a black-and-white jacket while making his entrance in the Intuit Dome for his bout against Rollins.

Long-time fans of Punk probably recognized his outfit as the one he wore to Wembley Stadium to defend his "Real" Worlds Championship against Samoa Joe at AEW All In 2023.

Before this pay-per-view match, the former WWE Champion seemingly initiated a backstage brawl with Jack Perry, an incident that directly led to his firing from AEW.

Punk returned to World Wrestling Entertainment on the heels of his termination from All Elite Wrestling at Survivor Series 2023.
