CM Punk wanted to own and go back to Ring of Honor wrestling 

It is no secret that CM Punk has always loved his time with Ring of Honor. The company has produced the likes of Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Bryan Danielson, Austin Aries, and of course Punk. Cary Silkin who is the former owner of ROH once mentioned how CM Punk asked if the company was up for sale. Punk made the inquiry in 2010 while he was signed with WWE.

The man from Chicago also wanted to make a return to wrestling with Ring of Honor after Cary Silkin gave him a call.

Ring of Honor was eventually bought by Tony Khan the owner of AEW.
