CM Punk is a name pro wrestling fans can never forget. The ‘Straight Edge’ Superstar from Chicago has been away from the squared circle for over seven years now. However, fans have always been hopeful of him returning someday.

With the recent rumors of AEW signing Punk, it’s safe to say we won’t have to wait for long. In addition, Tony Khan’s promotion has started dropping small hints here and there regarding the ‘Best in the World.’

If AEW’s huge announcement of AEW Rampage kicking off from Chicago wasn’t enough to add fuel to the fire, Darby Allin got into the mix as well!

Darby Allin hints at possible CM Punk feud on AEW Dynamite

Alex Marvez caught up with Darby Allin and Sting backstage during AEW Fight for the Fallen special. He mentioned AEW Rampage holding its first dance from the United Center in Chicago and asked him to chime in his thoughts.

Darby said he will be in Chicago for AEW Rampage. Then, he took a very subtle shot at the ‘Voice of the Voiceless’ CM Punk.

He said, “I’ll be in Chicago. You know I’ve been around a lot of men in this world that have laid claim to how they’re the greatest, there’s only one place to really prove that, right here in AEW, even if you think you are the Best in the World.”
