One of the most anticipated matches in recent professional wrestling history will take place Sunday night as CM Punk returns to in-ring action.
More than seven years after leaving WWE, Punk will step back into the ring as he faces Darby Allin at AEW's All Out pay-per-view. With the show being held at the NOW Arena near his hometown of Chicago, Punk will be looking to continue what has been a fairytale start to his AEW career.
For a while, it felt like Punk was never going to return to pro wrestling. While others who leave usually come back sooner rather than later, Punk spent the better part of a decade away from the industry.
