Were CM Punk and Daniel Bryan part of a tag team in WWE?

On the night of CM Punk's return to the in-ring competition at the All Out pay-per-view, Daniel Bryan also debuted on AEW. The closing moments of the show saw Bryan on his way to save Christian Cage and the Jurrasic Express from Kenny Omega and The Elite's assault.

Moments after Adam Cole's surprise debut and instant heel turn, Bryan entered the ring amidst thunderous applause. Bryan and the rest of the babyfaces took the fight to The Elite and the former WWE Champion cleared the ring almost entirely by himself.

On the same night, CM Punk also made his return to in-ring competition after seven years. Following an impressive performance, CM Punk successfully defeated Darby Allin with a GTS.
