At AEW All Out, CM Punk's first professional wrestling match in seven years was likely the most talked-about match of the entire show. The issue with that is the pressure it placed on Punk as well at AEW. He hasn't been in the ring in so long. Will he be ready for such a high-stakes match? After Sunday night at AEW All Out, the answer is a resounding yes.

It certainly took two to make a great match, and CM Punk was lucky to be in the ring with Darby Allin. Allin has become well-known for his death-defying stunts, but that also ignores his technical skills in the ring. It is doubtful people will doubt his in-ring skills as we advance. The match started at a slow pace but quickly picked up momentum as it went along. Darby Allin had some believable near falls and took some substantial risks throughout the match. It will surprise no one that CM Punk won his return match and did it with the GTS. It was fantastic to see CM Punk, Darby Allin and Sting - three generational talents in the ring at the same time.

Both competitors also looked good after that match and the hometown favorite left the victor at AEW All Out. Let's hope we see a lot more CM Punk matches in the weeks to months to come. Pro wrestling is so much better with him in it.
