Details Around CM Punk's In-Ring Condition Reportedly Emerge Amid AEW Speculation

CM Punk is preparing for a return to the ring amid significant reports that the former WWE superstar is set to end a seven-year exile by joining All Elite Wrestling.

Punk has been heavily rumoured to be joining AEW and wrestling for the first time since 2014, when he walked out on WWE the night following the Royal Rumble, and details have reportedly emerged regarding the 42-year-old's preparations and in-ring condition.

Punk has, over the past six months, been doing his own in-ring training as well as preparing for his role in the Starz series 'Heels', and Fightful Select has gathered insight into the former WWE Champion's condition from some of those that have worked closely with him in that time.

One source said that Punk looked 'completely healthy' in the ring, especially when compared to his situation when he departed WWE. Another individual declared that Punk had been so smooth when he got back in the ring to the point where people questioned if he had been privately training for a number of months prior to stepping into the ring with them.

A third source said that Punk had been working so well it was like he had never been away.
