It's been almost a month since the now-famous All Out media scrum, and wrestling fans on Twitter have already started clamoring for CM Punk's AEW return. The Straight Edge Superstar landed himself in trouble following his notorious tirade directed at Colt Cabana, Hangman Page, Kenny Omega, and The Young Bucks. Let's not forget the scuffle that ensued between Punk w/Ace Steel and the EVPs backstage on the heels of the former's pipebomb. Tony Khan severely reprimanded every man involved in the melee and dished out indefinite suspensions until the third-party investigation wings up. As per recent reports, The Elite hasn't heard anything about when their suspensions will be over, the likelihood of a lawsuit stemming from the pending final decision has put everything on hold, including the inaugural trios' world champions' returns. As for CM Punk's future, the word making the rounds has alluded to a possible contract buyout, but the ball is in Tony Khan's court. Whether or not Punk gets his termination letter, he has already been on the shelf for eight months due to a tricep injury. This was confirmed when the 43-year-old was recently spotted wearing a brace on his left arm. In the wake of the controversial situation, the Twitterverse has been hoping they haven't seen the last wrestling stalwart in AEW. Some people believe the Chicago-made brought back lapsed fans, and he is too big of a star to be let go. Others want the company to strike while the iron is hot and turn the real-life beef between CM Punk and The Elite into an on-screen rivalry upon their return. Check out some of the Twitter reactions below: ?????? @HNCHDynamiteI still think CM Punk returns to AEW. Not this year though, but in 2023. CM Punk is too big of a name for Tony Khan to let go, and CM Punk has stated numerous times that he loves AEW. This can definitely be resolved but it’ll take time and healing.“Time heals all wounds.”66538I still think CM Punk returns to AEW. Not this year though, but in 2023.

Adrian Ozzy@sidewaysglance2@HNCHDynamite The shows the past few weeks have definitely missed him! I don’t care what anyone says!! AEW needs punk!!@HNCHDynamite The shows the past few weeks have definitely missed him! I don’t care what anyone says!! AEW needs punk!! Did AEW accidentally drop a major hint regarding CM Punk s future CM Punk may or may not get fired after an enthusiast on Reddit shared a picture of AEW selling The Straight Edge Superstar's merchandise at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, which played host to Dynamite last week. One of the merchants was also spotted wearing the former WWE Superstar's T-shirt, leaving fans baffled because the company wasn't selling any of The Elite's merchandise.

While this is just speculation at the moment, fans should wait until Mr. Khan breaks the silence on the matter. Do you want to see CM Punk back in AEW? Sound off in the comment section below.
