Colt Cabana answered Chris Jericho’s open challenge on Wednesday night’s episode of AEW Dynamite. A new report states that Fightful spoke to about a dozen AEW talents about Cabana’s return, all of whom were happy to see him back.
The report also stated that prior to his absence from AEW television, Cabana was very happy. He had been helping produce matches before being taken off of TV. According to the talent that spoke, this seems to be a major indicator that if CM Punk was not finished with AEW before, he certainly is now.
Punk had previously denied rumors that he had anything to do with Cabana being absent from AEW television. Punk was not shy about airing his past dirty laundry with Cabana, stemming from their real-life fallout over a court case in the mid-2010s. Punk’s issues with Cabana are well-known, and Punk raised the issue once again at the post-show media scrum following AEW’s All Out pay-per-view event back in September.
One source within WWE who is familiar with both men said that they would be shocked if Cabana and Punk ever worked together again. Another source went on to say that they hadn’t heard anything about a WWE return for Punk, nor would they feel comfortable reaching out to Punk to discuss it. AEW has yet to comment on whether or not Cabana is back with the promotion full-time.
