Big Match Confirmed For All Out + Will CM Punk Appear?

–All Elite Wrestling has been hitting on all cylinders lately, it seems.

They recently debuted their first PPV, Double or Nothing, last month. Reviews for that show were largely very positive.

People have thought the August AEW event in Chicago would be perfect for a Punk return to the ring. A fan asked him on Twitter if he would continue to disappoint and not appear. Punk’s response:
