With CM Punk now just hours away from his first wrestling match in over seven years, the Second City Saint has taken to Instagram to tease what sort of gear he'll be wearing for his AEW All out battle against Darby Allin.

For the eagle-eyed out there - such as Wrestling Inc's Liam Crowley - Punk put out a couple of Instagram Story posts spotlighting some of his old 'n' familiar gear, such as the get-ups worn by him at the likes of SummerSlam 2009 and WrestleMania 29.

Many are taking this as an indication that CM Punk will be wearing the same style of wrestling gear for tonight's huge match against Darby, although it ultimately remains to be seen exactly what the Straight-Edge Superstar will be adorned in for his return to the squared circle.

CM Punk has quite the history of wearing impressive outfits for some of his bigger wars over the years, such as matching colours to the local town or sports teams, or paying tribute to legends such as Bret Hart, Randy Savage or, in the case of 'Mania 29, his opponent on that night, the Undertaker.
