The initial tickets for CM Punk's meet and greet at All In weekend have sold out in under 50 seconds, according to @OneHourTees - the official Twitter account of ProWrestlingTees.com.
The event is taking place in Chicago, Illinois on August 31, the day before the highly-anticipated All In event spearheaded by Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks.
The location and subject of the meet and greet have fuelled speculation that Punk could well be involved at the event itself. If so, this would be his first involvement in a wrestling show since his time with WWE came to a controversial end in 2014.

100 further tickets were made available for the meet and greet, but these are believed to have sold out very quickly too. In an attempt to address the situation, Punk himself reportedly offered to stay later than advertised, and include a walk-up option beginning at 4PM. The event was originally scheduled for 9AM-4AM only. He then tweeted the following:

Punk is schedule to have his second UFC fight on June 9, against fellow 0-1 fighter Mike Jackson. Both men have previously lost to Mickey Gall.
It is believed that this upcoming fight is the reason that a court case involving Punk, fellow wrestler Colt Cabana, and WWE doctor Chris Amann has been delayed.
Punk's involvement with All In weekend - and the very high demand in which he finds himself - follows news of All In's incredibly fast ticket sales. The show reportedly sold out in under half an hour. Even without Punk's involvement, it is set to capture worldwide wrestling headlines - but many agree that his appearance would be the icing on the cake.
