Punk's time in AEW was cut short due to a reported backstage altercation with Jack Perry at All In, which eventually led to his departure from the promotion.
WWE Hall of Famer says CM Punk can move the needle if he comes back
During an episode of 'Oh You Didn't Know' podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg discussed the potential of CM Punk's return to the global juggernaut promotion following his termination from AEW.
When asked if The Second City Saint could make a comeback, Road Dogg acknowledged that Punk's return would have a huge impact.
"I am the wrong guy to ask — that is the truth," James said. "Because I cannot hire nor fire — that is out of sight of my paygrade. I did mention recently that he would move the needle [by returning to WWE], but truth be told, that comment was made a long time ago ... or whenever that was. It just doesn't seem like the right time to even talk about it, you know? Things are happening in real-time; God only knows what's going to come out at the end of this."
Following his return at Survivor Series: WarGames, Triple H and Cody Rhodes also reacted to the former AEW star's comeback.
