Jim Ross Discusses CM Punk’s Departure from AEW – WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross recently discussed CM Punk’s departure from AEW on his Grillin JR podcast. During the podcast, Ross expressed his desire to see the Second City Saint return to wrestling in some capacity.
He also speculated about the possibility of Punk making a return to WWE. Here are some highlights from Ross’s podcast:
Hopes Punk returns to wrestling in some capacity and speculates that it could be with WWE:
I hope so, and I think it’ll probably happen. I just don’t have any leads or any dirt. He’s still young enough and hungry enough I think to go out and grab those big paydays. I just don’t know where or when. Obviously, one would assume, that’s all I’m doing, one would assume that CM Punk’s next destination could be WWE. But there’s no guarantee of that, either. I don’t know how they left it. Then when you go through a big turnover like WWE did this week with the Endeavor thing being finalized, you never know.
Says he will personally miss him as he enjoyed spending time with him at Collision tapings:
I’m gonna miss him because I enjoy being around him, and we have such a small crew that comes on Saturday night. It’s a pretty unique environment, Collision nights. A whole lot less people are there. He’s too good not to use his skills. But I don’t know. He’s a different cat, as everybody knows. That’s not a revelation, either.
