The Twitterverse seemingly has mixed feelings about a former world champion returning to AEW.
The star in question, CM Punk, has been away from the pro-wrestling business itself for months. Following his outburst at the AEW All Out pay-per-view media scrum and the ensuing brawl, he was suspended from the promotion alongside several others. Since then, he has appeared only sparingly outside of pro-wrestling.
WWE Hall of Famer Ricky Morton recently posted a tweet, expressing his desire to see Punk back in action. This prompted a number of comments from fans, arguing about The Second City Saint's future.
Punk had certainly been a major star on Tony Khan's roster during his time in the promotion. It remains to be seen whether he will return to action in the future.

While it is unclear whether Punk will appear in Tony Khan's roster again, he apparently has no qualms about taking digs at the promotion.
Maxwell Jacob Friedman recently won two awards from Pro Wrestling Illustrated, for being the 'Most Hated Man in the Business' and another for 'Best Feud of 2022' with Punk.
Taking to Instagram, he posted a photo of the plaques with a tape over The Second City Saint's name. This prompted Punk to take a shot at the show's ratings, which have been fluctuating in the last few months.
"Maybe find some tape for the ratings so nobody sees those either," CM Punk commented.
