[hhh]

You can see the emotion on his face when he said “I needed to feel it” the man hasn’t heard that crowd in 7 years, you can see how much he missed the fans

[Volantredx]

"I was never going to get healthy physically, emotionally, spiritually staying in the same place that got me sick in the first place" is such an important concept that we as a culture need to embrace more. Especially when it comes to working enviroments.

[ThisGenGaming]

Without AEW we likely wouldn't have seen CM Punk in wrestling again. I'm so happy that AEW is around! What an incredible moment for pro wrestling that we will be talking about for decades.

[TheRogueCobra]

A shitty ending doesn't erase how cool of a beginning this was. Before Brawl Out and Brawl In, there was a time where he seemed legit happy to be there.

[saulbadman]

Gets back into wrestling after 7 years and immediately cuts an honest, emotional, and incredibly genuine promo. What a man.

[mattdavis]

The fact the crowd shut up when he talked and just let him talk without interrupting shows how much respect we all have for the guy welcome back champ The best in the world is home baby.

[CRICFORECAST]

finally he sat down to continue his words after 7 long years

[dexterdenmon-bizr]

This was definitely one of the greatest moments in pro wrestling history and AEW made it happen

[Aidenrockz]

It’s incredible that after over 7 years he still has that Chicago crowd in the palm of his hand. When he’s in that ring he has complete control and makes people care

[saif]

I don’t think he even knows how much he’s loved and respected until now

[cjay]

No one will ever get a pop like that just for sitting down in the middle of a ring I got goosebumps bro

[Max_Money_AWA]

One motion of his hand, that's all it took for him, and the crowd went quiet. That's all. Amazing! Mad props.

[brandongordon]

He looks healthy… relieved.. moved… humbled and relieved.

He looked like he’s close to tears… we hear you Chicago. We hear you Chicago…

This was the literally what was needed to really understand why Punk left, why Punk took the time.

Welcome back to pro wrestling

[KevinHoskinson]

1. The home town,
2. Same music,
3. The T-shirt introduction
4. Signs, ice cream,
5. Jumping into the crowd,
6. Sting and darby Allen visual,
This is the best return I have ever seen.

[Keykers]

I was at this show, and it was definitely a moment I'll cherish forever... Thank you Punk for everything you did for AEW!

[LimJayhey]

Man when he took off the sweater revealing the BITW T shirt he looked just like he used to in 2011 and it gave me chills. He then says “CAN I TELL YOU GUYS A STORY!” Before sitting cross legged and cutting another pipe bomb, this was the best moment in wrestling I’ve ever watched. Thank you CM Punk & AEW.

[SageNemesis]

Roman Reigns: "CM Punk isn't a draw."

CM Punk: "Watch me get a louder pop than you just by sitting down."

[fujifilm]

Darby’s like
This is the greatest shit ever. I’m standing next to Sting being yelled at by CM Punk.
We all see him hiding his fucking ear to ear grin.

[christophermccray]

August 20th, 2021: I'm back.

September 2, 2023: Not anymore

[metalbudsgaming]

"They're there now, so why aren't you? Here I am."

chills. every time.
