Punk's AEW Rampage after 7 years away was a momentous moment.

CM Punk's return to wrestling was picked by Arn Anderson as "Comeback of the Year" as part of the inaugural Sportskeeda Wrestling Awards.

Other memorable moments that could have been selected by Arn were:

  • Brock Lesnar' babyface return
  • Becky Lynch's return after the birth of her daughter
  • Christian Cage returning to wrestling after multiple injuries
  • W. Morrisey (FKA Big Cas) returning to wrestling after an extended period away

The Voice of the Voiceless stepped away from wrestling nearly 8 years ago. At that stage, Punk was one of the most popular wrestlers in the world and a multi-time champion. His return to wrestling seemed near-impossible as the star apparently lost his love for the sport.

Shockingly, in 2021 fans in Chicago lost their minds as "Cult of Personality" burst onto the speakers and CM Punk walked down the ramp. While speaking to Riju Dasgupta of Sportskeeda Wrestling, Arn Anderson noted how monumentous this moment was.

“No question, CM Punk. Chicago Illinois, if you were going to write a Hollywood script you couldn’t write it any better than that. That’s his hometown, you know he has always been a huge-huge-huge draw there and the mood was set. It was one of those moments that I was very-very honoured to have been in the building for and felt it first-hand.” Anderson said. (11:50)
