As stated in his in-ring address on Rampage, he has time. In other words, we can expect to see the self-proclaimed &#8220;Best in the World&#8221; on Wednesday nights on TNT. Though this week&#8217;s show didn&#8217;t take place in his home of Chicago &#8211; Dynamite emanated from Milwaukee, Wisconsin &#8211; the reaction to him was nothing short of welcoming. It&#8217;s clear that the professional wrestling world has largely embraced Punk with open arms, even if certain members of the AEW locker room have not. Keep in mind that, at <em>All Out<\/em>, Punk will go one-on-one with <strong>Darby Allin<\/strong>, who the straight edge veteran regarded as a tough wrestler.<\/p>\n<p>Tune into AEW programming each week; expect to see Punk again sooner than later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More from LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
