Written by Doug Rush

It was the first time CM Punk was wrestling on television since he was in WWE back in 2014.

Punk faced off against Powerhouse Hobbs from Team Taz. And the former WWE Champion and The Best in the World did not disappoint one bit.

As expected, Punk gets his second win at AEW with a victory over Hobbs with the GTS.

The crowd loved it. As did the internet.
