Cary Silkin Tried To Bring CM Punk To ROH Before His AEW Return

CM Punk was absent from the world of pro wrestling after walking out on WWE back in 2014. Fans had all but given up when it came to his pro wrestling return as well.

The Secon City Saint finally made his return to pro wrestling as he debuted during AEW Rampage: The First Dance. Punk made a huge impact in AEW, becoming their World Champion twice.

While speaking with Wrestling Inc, former ROH owner Cary Silkin revealed that attempts were made on ROH’s end to bring Punk and Danielson back to the company before the pandemic started.

I said to Joe, ‘I know Punk.’ I said I could reach out to him and I did. I called him up. I didn’t text him and he was in L.A. doing something and maybe some kind of film work and I gave him Greg’s number and vice versa, or Joe’s number and nothing ever happened.”

CM Punk is currently away from AEW television due to injury. We will have to wait and see when he will be bale to make his return.
