CM Punk makes surprise appearance at Impact Wrestling show
CM Punk has not been seen by AEW fans since the infamous post-All Out press conference in September 2022 but this week he's been busy visiting other wrestling promotions.
On Monday (April 24) Punk was reported to have visited WWE Raw, which was being held at the Allstate Arena in Illinois. Video surfaced of Punk outside the arena talking to Tamina Snuka with PW Insider reporting he had spoken to The Miz and Triple while backstage.
Well, on Saturday (April 30) Punk made a visit to another wrestling show being held in the Chicago area — Impact Wrestling's latest TV taping.

Moné then told Punk: "@cmpunk we’re in Chicago!! Bring your Glow sign."
While it's not clear if Punk did bring his Glow sign, he did show up to support Trinity, taking photos backstage will talents including legend Ricky Morton and Jordynne Grace.
