2766 days.

That's how long the pro wrestling world was without CM Punk for.

Sure, he'd made a handful of appearances on WWE Backstage as part of a direct deal with FOX, but the Second City Saint had been away from mainstream wrestling programming for 2766 days. That was the amount of time which had passed between Punk's final WWE appearance at the 2014 Royal Rumble and his 20 August 2021 arrival on AEW Rampage.

This sign was simple and hit home just how long the wrestling industry had been deprived of one of its modern-day greats.

With his passion and love for the business beaten out of him by WWE, it really did seem like CM Punk was going to be that extremely rare wrestler who really does walk away in his prime, never to return. Thankfully, the Straight Edge Superstar seemingly just walked away from sports entertainment, with his fire for pro wrestling rekindled by the stellar work AEW had done in the three years prior to his signing.

2766 days, man. That's a hell of a long time to miss someone for, but that length and uncertainty made it all the more sweeter when Cult of Personality immediately hit as AEW's The First Dance episode of Rampage began.
