CM Punk made his AEW Dynamite debut this week. Milwaukee gave him an impressive reception, with there being no doubt about who the fans came to see the most.

Fans were just as crazy about CM Punk at AEW Dynamite this week when Tony Schiavone interviewed him. It was brief but CM Punk went into a little more detail, explaining that the reason for his return wasn't to prove anything to others but only to himself.

CM Punk also teased Daniel Bryan's AEW debut. When the crowd chanted "Yes!" he said it was someone else's schtick and that they might have to be a little more patient for him.

Not only that, but CM Punk posted a screenshot of the two shaking hands from their match well over a decade-and-a-half ago.

He seems hungry to face some of AEW's young talents and to see if he can still stand toe-to-toe with them after seven-and-a-half years away. For now, his focus will be next weekend as he takes on Darby Allin at AEW All Out.
