While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Punk wants to return to AEW after recovering from his injury.
“He brought up when Steve Kerin was in Memphis, he got into a fight with Koko Ware and he said that Lawler sat them down and that was it. It appears that he was trying to say that in wrestling in the past there’s fights. That situation was completely different…”
Meltzer thinks Keirn threw a punch and Ware blocked it and it was over in seconds.
“What it says is that he wants back in. Which we’ve already known, other people have said that too, that he’s looking to get back in. It’s up to Tony (Khan) and Tony’s gonna make a decision at some point. He’s probably just about ready, if not ready already, from the torn triceps, so it is one of those things that he can do soon enough. It’s a tough decision," Meltzer stated.
Meltzer added, “Every situation is different and it’s a decision that Tony’s going to have to make, but people who are like you want him back.”
