It looks like CM Punk has not got many fans in the AEW locker room right now.
CM Punk was involved in a backstage brawl at AEW All Out, where he fought with The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega. He has been suspended by the company since, with reports suggesting AEW may be attempting to buy out Punk’s contract.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, notable top stars in the company refuse to work with Punk, should he be brought back to the company.
In Norfolk on 10/26, it was noted that several of the top people were saying that Punk would not be back. A few names were mentioned with Chris Jericho being the name mentioned most but that many if not most of the key top names were saying that they wouldn’t work with him.
One top star noted, “Punk won’t be back. His value on screen isn’t one percent worth the hassle and black cloud he causes backstage.”
Another top star noted the team has decided he’s out and regardless of some being willing to work with him, the collective decided that he was voted off the island.

We will have to wait and see if Punk comes back to the company or not, but it seems like the locker room is not a fan of the idea as of this writing.
