CM Punk shares 2022 action figure sales, AEW YouTube stats

Former two-time AEW World Champion CM Punk shared action figure sales stats and YouTube viewership statistics on Instagram Tuesday as questions still linger as to his status with the company.

Shared via his Instagram stories, Punk shared three images, the first of which pointed to his action figure being the top seller for Ringside Collectibles last year:

The second pointed to the success of another action figure on the Ringside Collectibles top 20 best sellers list, this one at number six:

The final image showed the most watched AEW YouTube videos published in 2022 with Punk clips in the top two spots:

Punk hasn’t been seen in AEW since last September’s All Out when he defeated Jon Moxley to regain the World title, followed by his now infamous press conference comments. After those comments, a fight broke out in a locker room between himself, Ace Steel, the Young Bucks, and Kenny Omega.

Punk has yet to address the matter publicly, but did reply ‘Duh’ in the comments of another Instagram post recently. That post shared an article from this website about FTR’s Dax Harwood making a plea for Punk, the Bucks and Omega to work things out.

Steel was fired after the fight while the Bucks and Omega made their return two months later at November’s Full Gear. While it’s assumed the Bucks and Omega were suspended, the terms of that suspension have yet to emerge.

Punk was stripped of the World title but, in a twist, he required surgery after he tore his left triceps in the Moxley match so he was going to miss considerable time anyway. 

AEW head Tony Khan has yet to provide an specific update on Punk’s status with our Dave Meltzer reporting last fall that the two sides were working on a buyout with a snag being the length of time on the non-compete clause.
