CM Punk will step into a wrestling ring on cable television Friday night on Rampage. Maybe 2021 isn’t so bad after all.
Punk, who made his AEW debut last month in Chicago, had his first match with the company at All Out on Sept. 5 against Darby Allin. His match against Powerhouse Hobbs will be his first on cable TV since he defeated Billy Gunn on the Jan. 20, 2014, episode of Raw.
AEW continues to infuse new life into professional wrestling, with Punk at the forefront. And not only is he back in wrestling on a weekly basis but he is also living up to his vow to make the industry a better place—which he does in a number of ways, especially highlighting young, emerging stars.
