All Signs Point to CM Punk Returning to AEW at AEW Collision's Premiere

By Connor Casey

CM Punk's status within AEW has been a mystery ever since last September, but it looks like the stage has been set for his return. On top of the numerous backstage reports dropped this week pointing to him being on the AEW Collision premiere episode on June 17, Tony Khan officially confirmed during this week's AEW Dynamite that the Collision premiere will take place at The United Center in Punk's hometown of Chicago. 

"The belief is that CM Punk will debut on 6/17 at the first Collision show in Chicago and that the issues have been settled. Unless things change, Chicago will be announced tonight. How the announcement of Punk's return will be handled is unknown," the Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer tweeted hours before Khan's announcement.
