Despite his absence from in-ring competition, CM Punk remains a hot topic among fans, with widespread anticipation for his potential return at Survivor Series 2023. The event is set to take place on the upcoming Saturday in Chicago, significantly increasing the likelihood of Punk making an unexpected appearance in his hometown.
However, even if Punk doesn't make his return to WWE at Survivor Series, the Best in the World could still make a pro wrestling comeback on the upcoming Saturday, possibly in AEW. This speculation is fueled by the recent announcement from All Elite Wrestling that Rampage and Collision will both air on Saturday, going head-to-head with Survivor Series for three hours.
This decision has led fans to believe that Tony Khan might have significant plans for his shows, potentially providing strong competition against one of WWE's top five Premium Live Events.
