Punk has been rumored to be returning at the Collision premiere for months and was expected to be a surprise. However, the speculation can now end as Punk, who has been absent from AEW ever since his backstage altercation with The Elite, will make his first on-screen appearance since winning the world championship from Jon Moxley last year.
Stay tuned.
