CM Punk was suddenly seen on AEW Dynamite tonight as they celebrated the show's 6th Anniversary. The legacy he left in the company was acknowledged.

Despite a less-than-ideal end to his run with the Tony Khan-led promotion, The Straight Edge Superstar had a memorable run in AEW. This was his return to wrestling after seven years, and he engaged in several great feuds with the biggest stars on the roster.

Earlier tonight on Dynamite, the promotion aired a video package looking back at the show's history. This featured six years of incredible moments, including some major milestones that they have hit during the years.

At one point in the video, they showed Sting and his brief stint. One of these included a moment from December 2021, when CM Punk teamed up with The Icon and Darby Allin in a trios match against The Pinnacle. The interesting part of this partnership was that Punk also wore some face paint to show solidarity with his tag team partners. This was in the colors of the Chicago flag.

This might have been the only part of the video that directly showed CM Punk, but it was an interesting move since no one expected to see him at all. There's no denying that his three years with the company were impactful.

Despite the chaotic end to his time in AEW, he looks to be in a better place now and is having arguably one of the best runs of his career in WWE. Just recently at WWE Wrestlepalooza, he teamed up with his wife, AJ Lee, to take on Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.
