Jon Moxley made a shock debut at Double Or Nothing last week...
At AEW Double Or Nothing back on May 25, Jon Moxley made his shocking debut for the newly-formed company, laying out Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega in the process.
With All Out announced for August 31 in Chicago during the Double Or Nothing show, attentions have already turned to another shocking debut that could be in the offing - that of the would-be hometown hero of the night, CM Punk.
Chris Jericho was recently interviewed by ESPN and spoke about the possibility of Punk joining AEW: “If he wants to come back to wrestling, it would have to be for the right reasons — both on his end and on AEW’s end. CM Punk is a unique individual.
“He’d probably be welcomed with open arms. But I think he would have to kind of prove himself, as he would want to. Because I know him. He’s a competitor. He’s not gonna come back just for a paycheck or just to be famous. If he comes back, it’s because he wants to be here, he wants to wrestle and he wants to prove something. And if he doesn’t feel that way, he won’t come back. The only person that can answer that question, I believe, is CM Punk himself.”
