CM Punk Wants His Return Match Against Ex-WWE Star, Whom He Last Fought 18 Years Ago, Fans ‘Beg’ Tony Khan to Make It Official: “Please Make This Happen”

Last year in September, CM Punk had a backstage brawl with ‘The Elite’ after the AEW All Out PPV. This led Tony Khan to suspend both parties indefinitely. Kenny Omega and ‘The Young Bucks’ returned to the weekly shows at AEW Full Gear on November 19. Whereas, Punk’s future in the promotion still loomed in the dark.

However, the internet world erupted last month with the news of AEW planning to bring him back. Inside reports suggested he would return somewhere around June next month. And now some more inside information from a trusted source revealed the name of his potential opponent for his return match.

Recently, Fightful Select released a report that mentions that ‘The Best In The World’ is looking to lock horns with Samoa Joe as his first in-ring opponent for his return match at the Jacksonville-based promotion. The report also mentions that he has been pitching this idea for a month now.

Despite both of them being on the AEW roster in 2022, the two stars never crossed paths in the promotion. But in Ring of Honour, both men squared off against each other a couple of times in the squared circle. The last time both men fought each other was in ROH almost 18 years ago, in 2005.

When Fightful broke out this news, fans were quick to react to it.
