Let's take a look at 5 rumors you must know heading into the first-ever AEW All Out PPV.

#5 Will CM Punk show up?

This time last year, rumors began circulating that CM Punk might be willing to consider a return to pro wrestling as Cody Rhodes and The Elite geared up for the inaugural All In PPV event.

The show came and went, and Punk was nowhere to be found at the show and now, one year later, the Punk rumor mill is once again in full effect.

In the past year, Punk has stated that he has no intention of returning to the ring, but did admit in an interview that he received an offer, via text, to sign with AEW. Punk indicated he had no interest in the offer, but with AEW now a fully-established promotion, is Punk working the fans and planning on making a return at All Out? Only time will tell.
