Former AEW Champion CM Punk is reportedly \"ready to move on\" but the hold-up is on AEW\'s side. CM Punk recently posted an image from his WWE days on Instagram to fuel rumors he is returning to the promotion he has routinely disparaged after his exit in 2014.
Speaking with Nick Hausman of Wrestling Inc., Apollo shared his thoughts on CM Punk potentially returning to WWE in the future.
It\'s not that I wouldn\'t be happy or I wouldn\'t be upset — I don\'t know if I\'d really feel any kind of way, honestly. It\'s nothing against him personally or anything, but I don\'t know…I think I\'d just kind of be neutral with it. But again, extremely talented individual and only time will tell, right?
