The fans sitting inside the ‘Mohammed Abdu Arena’ can be heard chanting the name of ‘CM Punk‘. Since the video came in before the event kicked off, it is possible that the viewers wanted to see the former AEW superstar starting the night.
Are fans right to demand CM Punk’s appearance? Could we see the former UFC star return to WWE soon?
Every major sign you may need to know regarding CM Punk’s
After CM Punk faced several altercations in AEW in a short span of time, Tony Khan was left with no choice but to kick him out of his promotion. As of now, Punk is not signed up with any wrestling companies. So, this made fans speculate about his WWE return. After all, he became a star while working for the Stamford-based company in the first place. There have also been multiple signs hinting at such a possibility.

Firstly, when Cody Rhodes was planning to bring back Jey Uso in WWE, he announced during a promo that Uso, who is the ‘best in the world’, deserves a second chance. Since Punk was released from AEW that night, this might have been a hint that Punk was also offered a second chance immediately.
Secondly, Seth Rollins, on Monday Night Raw on August 25th, referenced Punk by calling himself ‘The Best in the World’, a popular moniker used for the 45-year-old wrestling star.
Lastly, commentator Corey Graves also hinted at something similar while reminiscing about Punk’s past catchphrase.
