Dr. Britt Baker Invites CM Punk To AEW

May 2024 · 2 minute read

After CM Punk tweeted that “it’s okay to go to the dentist,” AEW wrestler Dr. Britt Baker, who is actually a practicing dentist, responded by inviting him to The Waiting Room, a segment she hosts on AEW Dynamite.

The Second City Saint, who is currently signed to Cage Fury Fighting Championships as a commentator, is best known for his time in WWE, where his 434-day reign as WWE Champion stands as the longest of the 21st century and the sixth-longest in history.

As of now, Punk hasn’t responded to Dr. Baker’s invitation, but it isn’t the first time AEW has teased a potential Punk appearance. During the lead-up to AEW All Out 2019, it was rumored that the wrestler, who left WWE in 2014, might make an appearance since the show was going to be in Chicago, Punk’s hometown. Unfortunately, that never panned out.

There is still a possibility that one of wrestling’s most beloved stars might be open to an offer from AEW. In interviews, Punk has said that he might consider a return if the storyline were interesting and the money right. Although recruiting the Nineteenth Triple Crown Champion might be expensive, it would certainly pay off. Considering AEW recently signed retired WWE Hall of Famer Sting, an appearance from Punk would not be unthinkable.

On November 12, 2019, Punk made a surprise appearance on the Fox Sports 1 series WWE Backstage. He subsequently joined the program as a special contributor and analyst. Punk reportedly accepted the position because he would be under contract with Fox rather than WWE.

As for an in-ring return, Punk said at the time that he was not interested but also not opposed to the idea, stating it was "a bridge that is gonna have to be built". Unfortunately, production of WWE Backstage was put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic and later suspended by Fox in June 2020.
