Will the rumors finally come to rest in a few days and the fans will be treated to what they have been clamoring for since a long time? After Jon Moxley's debut at Double Or Nothing, Tony Khan stated in the post-show media scrum that he wanted CM Punk to be a part of AEW, and that they discussed on it. Khan also referred to Punk as a good friend of his.

Punk has refuted fan claims of him joining AEW and has even gone on to make fun of it on several occasions. This definitely doesn't discount the possibility of him eventually coming on board. Goldust had lashed out at the fans for 'spreading rumors' about his WWE departure back in March, but he eventually did leave the company and came to AEW. There's no reason something similar can't happen with Punk.
I am still under contract with the @wwe , and everything that is being said online is just talk, and complete bullshit. This is exactly why I hate smart marks!

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
