"How long do I have to wait? I am ready to fight. Where are you? I know where are you! You're close. I take all from you. This is my opportunity, I am ready."

Johhny Gargano commented on CM Punk's potential return to WWE

The wrestling world has been abuzz with speculations ever since CM Punk was fired from AEW. While there are conflicting reports about the star's return to the global juggernaut, the teases from WWE have many convinced that the Second City Saint will indeed make his return at Survivor Series.

Johnny Gargano was also recently asked to share his thoughts on Punk's potential homecoming. The former NXT Champion made it clear that he won't mind that.

"There are so many eyes currently on WWE television. Obviously, every little bit helps. I mentioned how Logan Paul has taken the United States Championship all over the world with him and getting new eyes on the product. At the end of the day, whatever is going to get more eyes on etelevision, that's the best move possible. Whoever that may be, whoever they bring in, whatever eyes they bring in. I'm all for it," Gargano said. (H/T Fightful)

CM Punk was a major star for the Stamford-based promotion before things turned sour. The star last competed inside the WWE ring at Royal Rumble 2014.
