Following CM Punk’s highly publicized outburst and the ensuing backstage altercation at AEW All Out, many wrestling pundits speculated about the future of the renowned wrestler. However, for long-time journalist Dave Meltzer, there was always an unwavering belief that CM Punk would make a return to professional wrestling in some capacity.
While Meltzer couldn’t accurately predict which promotion Punk would ultimately join, he emphasized one crucial factor during his recent appearance on “Insight with Chris Van Vliet.” Meltzer stated, “I wasn’t 100% certain he would return to AEW, but I knew he would be back wrestling somewhere. People in WWE believed they wouldn’t take him, but it was irrelevant because Tony [Khan] wouldn’t release him. I always thought he would be back, and it’s likely in AEW. The actual circumstances unfolded differently than I expected, but the outcome remains the same. Punk can draw, and someone with his drawing power will always get an opportunity until their career is on the decline. That’s the bottom line.”
