Jade Cargill Reacts To CM Punk's WWE Return
CM Punk made his stunning return to WWE over the weekend at Survivor Series. And as the rest of the wrestling world reacts to these surprising developments, one of Punk's peers who recently shifted from AEW to WWE herself certainly took note.

Earlier this year, Cargill spoke about how Punk had helped her improve as a wrestler while the two were still under contract with AEW.

Punk's WWE homecoming comes nearly a decade after he initially walked out the company and all the testy years that followed his acrimonious exit. However, Punk's arrival in WWE also follows a recent trend of high-profile AEW talent making the switch from Tony Khan's promotion to the operation in Stamford. Cargill recently made the leap, and Cody Rhodes exited AEW — which he helped found — in order to chase his dream of becoming WWE Champion, making his own return at WrestleMania 38.
