CM Punk versus Darby Allin is official for All Out.
Kicking off ‘The First Dance’ edition of AEW Rampage was the return of former Ring of Honor and multi-time WWE Champion CM Punk. He has signed with All Elite Wrestling and will be in action at All Out against Darby Allin.
Punk issued the challenge to Darby during Rampage and said there’s nothing more dangerous for Darby to do than “wrestle CM Punk”.
Following Punk’s return segment, AEW announced that Punk is scheduled to appear on the 8/25 Dynamite in Wisconsin.
