Punk’s highly anticipated return to wrestling at the AEW All Out in Chicago on September 5, 2021, was a massive moment for the wrestling industry. Even now he continues to make the headlines, whether for his excellent matches or controversial actions. Until now, CM Punk was causing a stir behind the scenes at AEW, but now, WWE is on the receiving end of some of Punk’s antics.

Arriving in Raw ever since his exit from the company in 2014 might have been for various reasons, but we don’t know any of them. Except for one of them. Apparently, as PWInsider reported, before leaving the building according to McMahon’s orders, Punk was able to meet with The Miz. It was also reported that the two met for a brief while, but they cleared the air between them during that time.
