AEW star Dr. Britt Baker has invited former WWE Superstar CM Punk on 'The Waiting Room', a segment that she regularly hosts on AEW TV.

It began with a simple, but an extremely important message from CM Punk to his fans. Punk told his Twitter followers that it's okay to go to a dentist. Baker, a real-life dentist herself, couldn't help but make good of the opportunity and invite Punk to be a part of 'The Waiting Room' segment on AEW.
CM Punk would have been a big 'get' for All Elite Wrestling
It's not a secret that AEW and CM Punk had talks about the possibility of him joining the company, way before Punk joined WWE Backstage on FS1. On his podcast, former WCW star Konnanrevealed that Punk wanted an 'astronomical amount of money' to join AEW.
“I do remember when you know, I was negotiating with AEW — they were telling me about him. They were telling me that he was asking for like an astronomical amount of money. That they really wanted to work with him.”

CM Punk has said he thinks there are more interesting people for him to wrestle in AEW than there are in WWE. https://t.co/9teIIkNdvH
Punk last wrestled in a Royal Rumble match for WWE, way back in 2014. The match was won by WWE veteran Batista, and Punk quit the company immediately after. He has yet to make a return to pro wrestling, and with each passing year, the possibility of CM Punk wrestling another match is getting slimmer and slimmer.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
