5 reasons CM Punk will show up at AEW All Out and 5 reasons why he won't

#1 Why he will - All Out is in Chicago

Wrigley Field: CM Punk throws out the first pitch at a Cubs game in Chicago

Many people have pride in their country of origin and they should: our heritage is deeply entrenched in who we are as individuals. Chicagoans are prideful Americans, but if you catch any of us outside of the United States and ask us where we are from, we likely won't tell you we are American, at least not at first. Instead, we will say, "We're from Chicago." The windy city by the lake is who we are and we are rooted in its unique heritage.

CM Punk is no different. Chicago is in his blood and AEW's All Out just happens to be in the city he loves with all his heart. It's the perfect set up for an emotional return that will be the talk of professional wrestling. Don't expect Chicago's favorite son to miss out on that.

#1. Why he won't - It's not WrestleMania

CM Punk always wanted to headline WrestleMania

CM Punk has wrestled in several WrestleMania events. There were the Money in the Bank ladder matches and the bout against AEW star Chris Jericho. Then there was the match against The Undertaker. Who can forget that one?

Still, CM Punk left something on the table with WWE and it gnaws at him. He told Colt Cabana on his infamous appearance on Art of Wrestling that his one desire was to main event a WrestleMania and he never had the opportunity to do so.

If CM Punk ever returns to wrestling, it won't be the fans, the money, the spite, or the location that lures him, it will be the opportunity to do the one thing he has never done: main event on the wrestling world's biggest stage.
