While The Second City Saint has been out of action recently, he has had the privilege of working as a top star for both the competing promotions. After taking a hiatus from pro wrestling in 2014, Punk joined the All Elite Wrestling upon his return in 2021. The reigning AEW World Champion recently appeared on The Hashtag Show alongside Jade Cargill. When questioned about the stiff competition between the two companies, Punk stated that although AEW is viable, it may not be a 'viable threat' to WWE. “It depends on your perspective. It depends on how grumpy I am that day. You can go either way. You can say that, ‘Oh man, wrestling’s dying.’ Or you can say ‘Well look at it, it’s thriving.'” For the first time there’s a second company that’s viable and I’m not gonna say it’s a viable threat.” (H/T: SEScoops) The Second City Saint further explained that the competition had helped the pro-wrestling scene as a whole. “It’s just a viable, healthy company. A second place where men and women can get paid to wrestle in ring on television. I know there’s people that think dynamite is the greatest thing in the world. There’s people that think dynamite isn’t good. People that think it’s somewhere in the middle, it could be better. But because we’re having that conversation, I supposed pro wrestling is thriving.” (H/T: SEScoops) Since his debut last year, CM Punk has had a stellar run in AEW. He has featured in stellar feuds against the likes of MJF, Eddie Kingston, and Hangman Page in recent times. Moreover, he captured the promotion's world championship at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view in 2022 Potential update on former WWE Champion CM Punk s in-ring return A photo of CM Punk has been making the rounds on social media, suggesting that the star may be close to an in-ring return.
