“He’s (CM Punk) back where he belongs. He’s back where he belongs,” Ace Steel said. “I was excited… I knew it was coming at some point that he should be there and that they would want him. I’m just extremely happy to see him and it’s not just finishing his story, it’s capping his legacy… When he finishes his story, he’s not done, he’s capping his legacy.

“He loves this business, he’s always loved this business. It broke his heart. But he found the love again and yes, he’s at a down spot right now but he’s the king of comebacks man. So yeah, I’m excited. We’re family so to see family be happy, that’s all I need.”

Punk recently said he was determined to have the greatest comeback of all time. Check out his comments here.
