CM Punk Could Make His Most Anticipating Wrestling Return Sooner Than You Think

Once a prominent name in the pro-wrestling business, CM Punk has allegedly become a tainted superstar after his stint at AEW. His return to the wrestling world was welcomed with grand applause. His exit caused even greater controversy. Punk fans have spent months with expectations amidst rumors waiting for his return.

There are reports that CM Punk might return to the wrestling scene earlier than expected. Although fans wanted it to happen at WWE, the opportunity looks moot at the moment. Hence, some other wrestling promotions may try to leverage the controversy.

CM Punk is likely to return to wrestling but not at WWE

Wrestling fans across the globe were hoping for Punk to return to WWE after his controversial exit from AEW. For months, fans kept on picking cues from here and there, but in the end, WWE strongly denied any news confirming Punk’s inclusion.

Prominent wrestling publication, PWinsider.com reported that “Ace Steel is in Chicago and will be working Bound for Glory weekend as a Producer for Impact Wrestling.” PW Insider confirmed the news from multiple sources.

Ace Steel has been called upon to work as a producer and his appearance at Bound for Glory PPV along with other shows at the weekend. It will be a try-out opportunity for the former AEW star.

However, PW Insider has also reported that ROH was not trying to hire Steel to reach out to Punk. They reported, “I don’t believe they are using Ace to get to the heart of CM Punk, as they initially wanted to bring Steel in during the time period he was fired from AEW and Punk was still contracted to AEW. I think it was wanting to bring in a producer who was good at his job, nothing more.”

CM Punk and Ace Steel to carry friendship to Impact Wrestling

Although, it does not confirm anything related to CM Punk, hardcore wrestling fans are aware of the connection between Ace Steel (Chris Guy) and Punk. The two wrestlers were a part of The Second City Saints at ROH with Colt Cabana. Since Punk got Steel into AEW, Steel might return the favor to Punk with a special appearance opportunity. There were reports that CM Punk was also offered a contract from Impact Wrestling earlier. 

One source stated that Impact Wrestling wanted to bring Ace Steel earlier but was waiting for his contract with AEW to get over. Steel was working in a remote position at AEW and Punk was the one who pushed for Steel’s hiring at AEW.
