On the other side of the ring stands CM Punk, who emerged from the shadows to become the face of AEW. Punk's return to wrestling sent shockwaves through the industry.

AEW star CM Punk had praised Roman Reigns' heel work
CM Punk and Roman Reigns are the cornerstones of their respective organizations, Reigns and Punk shared a history of interactions in WWE. This began with The Tribal Chief's debut at Survivor Series 2012 when he disrupted Punk's match.
Speaking on the Wrestling Perspective Podcast, Punk praised Reigns’ character development and in-ring ability.
“I think a lot of times the best stuff, you’ve also kind of just gotta go with the flow with it, I’ll use Roman Reigns as an example, because if we’re talking about good stuff, if the WWE does anything good, I mean, this is the one thing that they’re doing right right now, right? Is Roman Reigns."
He continued:
“His character work, his in-ring stuff. It’s all great but I feel like, classic WWE, they’re always five years, 10 years late. This is something that they should’ve done originally, because they tried so hard to get this guy over as a babyface and they gave him X amount of ‘Mania main events. Like, ‘This is the guy, this is the guy, this is the guy,’ and he never really had his moments until now.”
Punk and Reigns faced each other in a one-on-one contest on WWE RAW in 2014, where the latter emerged victorious with help from The Shield.
