CM Punk commands the masses in pro wrestling. He's always been asked when he will return, rather than the other way around. Perhaps, the wrestler in him always wanted to return. When he left WWE in 2014, he certainly didn't enjoy the art form that he once loved.

2021 is a different story. Perhaps, he has had enough time away from the business to grow attached to it all over again. He has undoubtedly allowed speculation to fester about his eventual wrestling return, as if a hero rising from the ashes to battle the forces of evil one last time. Who are the evil forces? Let's leave that to the fans to decide.

AEW was created due to some fans' disinterest in the WWE product. So far, it has not disappointed with the quality of its matches, storylines, and overall production value. Their roster is a combination of veterans, mainstream talent, indie darlings, and bonafide legends.

That may seem like the fertile ground for a performer like CM Punk, but of course, his return to wrestling would be a groundbreaking event on its own and put more eyes on AEW. While it's unclear if his return to pro wrestling would be his last, it's certainly intriguing that Rampage's show in Chicago is dubbed 'The First Dance.'

Assuming that CM Punk does sign with All Elite Wrestling and appears on Rampage, the roar that would erupt in that stadium could match the one all those years ago at Money in the Bank. AEW and fans alike will soon find out if The Best in the World receives the accolades he once experienced.
