10 Wrestlers Who Will NEVER Leave AEW

6. CM Punk

Bit of a no-brainer, this one.

Finally confirming the worst kept secret of 2021 and re-emerging onto the wrestling scene as part of All Elite Wrestling with a tear in his eye, CM Punk made his official comeback to the world of professional wrasslin'. And with the one-time Voice of the Voiceless now rediscovering the in-ring and on the stick form that initially made him a household name, would there be any real sense in blowing a definitive kiss and hopping over the All Elite guardrail?

If his evident living of his best life within the ropes of TK's promotion wasn't enough evidence of his current home likely being his last-ever within the wrestling sphere, then the fact that WWE was apparently interested in bringing Punk back and even offered him a deal pre-AEW only for the former WWE Champion to laugh off their approach, claiming "they played games", speaks volumes.

The Best in the World is now routinely proving he is precisely just that, and with a potential AEW World Championship reign right around the corner, Punk is well aware that the grass won't get much greener anywhere else.
