CM Punk worked as a commentator during Saturday night’s Cage Fury Fighting Championships event. The following exchange took place between Punk and John Morgan during one of the fights:
Morgan: “Hoffman just returning to his wrestling. You know what I am saying Punk, returning… to his wrestling.”
CM Punk: “Yeah, he’s looking All Elite right now…”

In addition to the above tease, Adam Rank of the NFL Network referenced Punk during Saturday’s NFL preseason game between the Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins. Rank compared rookie Quarterback Justin Fields’ debut to Punk possibly debuting with AEW…
“I think that was the most anticipated debut in Chicago until Friday when, presumably, CM Punk can show up on AEW.”
