The ‘Best in the World’ CM Punk is finally back in the game after a hiatus. He made his return to AEW last week on its brand new show Collison and wrestled again on this week’s episode. And just with his in-ring return, the former AEW champion started to give the fans a glimpse of his iconic ‘heel’ persona.
Two years ago, the AEW star started an off-court feud with the WWE legend Hulk Hogan by calling him a “piece of sh*t” on a podcast. And now after that, Punk reignited this rivalry by mocking Hogan in the middle of his match in AEW.

This weekend, the AEW Collision took place in Canada, and CM Punk teamed up with Ricky Starks and FTR against Bullet Club Gold and The Gunn Club. During the match, Punk took an opportunity to mess with Hulk Hogan once again.
He imitated Hogan in the middle of the ring. Punk first delivered Hulk Hogan’s iconic big boot and then taunted his opponent in Hall of Famer’s style. He even concluded the entire mocking segment with a Leg Drop, confirming his intentions.
