"Shame Punk ruined it all for the fans" - Wrestling fans erupt in rage over AEW missing out on opportunity to book CM Punk & FTR against major faction

The aftershock of CM Punk's enraged tirade at All Out can still be felt in AEW, as fans are now bemoaning a dream match being almost impossible.

The Second City Saint's entry to the Jacksonville-based Promotion turned a lot of heads in the pro-wrestling business. Starting off with a match against Darby Allin, Punk immediately showed that he had no ring rust despite his 7 years away from the business. His subsequent feuds against MJF and Jon Moxley only served to enhance his prominence in the company,

The events at the All Out media scrum have seemingly shut down the possibility of many dream matches involving Punk. An alliance between FTR and Cm Punk had also been teased, which never fully came to fruition.

However, fans recently took to Twitter to share a pic of "CMFTR" questioning the now remote possibility of a match against The Elite.

@BackupHangman I can’t lie for the longest time I thought this whole ordeal was a work that was building to this match. Even while I was watching the press conference. But Brawl Out shut that theory down💀 just goes to show how much money was left on the table unfortunately.

@_HectorCH_ @BackupHangman I likt but DT but brother that was a generational feud right there lmao

@BackupHangman The amount of money that could've been made from the Elite vs Punk in general would've been a good amount. It's sad that people can't put aside their own pride for the greater good.

@BackupHangman Shame Punk ruined it all for the fans, his fellow wrestlers and himself.

@BackupHangman Little Tony Khan dropped the ball on that one. Could have turned it all into an angle that would have pushed AEW from the minor leagues to the big time!

@Heathen2323 @BackupHangman The locker room don’t want punk back, it’s not Tony’s call if u lose the locker room because of one guy

@BackupHangman If only his ego wouldn’t have gotten to him. He could do a massive 180 and change his tune but that would require acceptance from the locker room

@BackupHangman I'm shocked how little business sense AEW seems to have with these online feuds. Like - the money is on the table folks

@BackupHangman To bad punk can't adult.

@BackupHangman Emphasis on “could’ve”.

It remains to be seen whether this match will ever happen in the future. Although the chances are slim, anything is possible in the pro-wrestling business.

A Wrestling veteran believes that CM Punk may be sought out by Triple H if he exits AEW

While the AEW community is seemingly not on good terms with CM Punk right now, long-time referee Mike Chioda believes that Triple H may want to bring back the former WWE star.

In a recent appearance on his Monday Mailbag podcast, Chioda stated the benefits of hiring Punk if The Game decided to go through with it.

"I wouldn't let go of CM Punk because from a business point of view, whether they start pinning Punk down the road a year or two from now or whatever they do with him, I think they'll take him away from AEW," Chioda said. "That would be a huge draw in ratings on TV for WWE if they get Punk back." [H/T WrestlingInc]

Under the Triple H regime is that the right situation, right money, and right creative can leave the door open for CM Punk and Triple H wants it to be a success and make compelling programming more than anything. CM Punk back in WWE is compelling programming.

Only time will tell if the Second City Saint will be open to joining WWE again.
