Former WWE Champion, CM Punk, has been absent from pro wrestling ever since his infamous All Out media scrum controversy.
Despite not having stepped inside the squared circle for months, he was spotted at New Japan Pro Wrestling's Battle in the Valley show. The Second City Saint was in attendance, and photos of him quickly went viral on social media.
Interestingly enough, NJPW is also in a working relationship with AEW. However, CM Punk's future with the promotion remains in doubt. A large portion of fans believes he could potentially be WWE bound once again.
Check out CM Punk in attendance for NJPW Battle in the Valley:
During his time in the Stamford-based promotion, Punk won the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship. After departing the promotion, he transitioned to the world of mixed martial arts.
After a short stint in the UFC, he returned to pro wrestling with AEW, signing with Tony Khan's company in the process.
However, in recent months WWE has made significant changes to its product, especially with Triple H in charge of the creative team. It remains to be seen what the future has in store for The Second City Saint.
