Pro Wrestling legends CM Punk a multiple time World Champion in Ring of Honor, World Wrestling Entertainment, and other promotions has returned to the world of professional wrestling for the first time in 7 years.

Punk who left pro wrestling after disagreements with WWE owner Vince McMahon, tried his aim in the UFC with a few fights in mixed martial arts, but the prodigal son has returned home to All Elite Wresting, the WWE’s new competitor.
