"I don't think anyone can top the return that CM Punk had" - Renee Paquette on Punk's return in AEW (Exclusive)
Renee Paquette picked CM Punk's return to pro-wrestling in AEW as the 'Comeback of the Year' at the Sportskeeda Wrestling Awards.
CM Punk's returned to pro wrestling last year when he shocked the world and lit up the arena in front of his hometown. While we saw several stars make comebacks, including Christian Cage, Brock Lesnar, and Becky Lynch, some would argue that Punk stands above the rest.

While discussing her picks for the Sportskeeda Wrestling Awards' candidates for 'Comeback of the Year,' Renee Paquette seemed to echo this sentiment as she felt that no one could top that return.
"He's been gone for seven years," Paquette said. "He is essentially is and has been the heartbeat of independent wrestling and professional wrestling for so long. So, to have him be gone and have his absence but now to finally have it back. I mean, I don't think anyone can top the return that CM Punk had in Chicago, the run he's been able to have. I mean, you even look at the match he just recently had with MJF again in Chicago and you know in terms of putting over newer talent, seeing that the guy can still go, he's in great shape. He's happy, he loves wrestling again." [10:15 - 11:00]
Pacquette certainly had great things to say for her former WWE Backstage colleague and current AEW star.
