Punk on a Short Leash: AEW Keeps Doors Open Despite Turmoil
Fightful Select reports AEW sources say there’s no definite bridge burned with CM Punk, with an 'never say never' stance about future relations. Punk joined AEW in 2021, was suspended after Brawl Out in 2022 and fired after a backstage incident at All In 2023, and later returned to WWE at Survivor Series 2023, leaving the door open for possible future AEW involvement.
