According to Fightful Select, several people within AEW are said to be happy and supportive that Colt Cabana is back.

There have been ongoing rumors that Punk possibly will sign with WWE again once he is officially done with AEW. There has been reports thay Tony Khan is working on buying out the rest of Punk’s contract. It is also being said there has been talk that WWE will not work with Punk again, and that Cabana’s return to AEW TV seemed like a huge signal to those in WWE, and that if Punk was not finished with AEW, he is now.
FIghtful Select concluded by saying that a WWE source familiar with Punk and Cabana said they would be shocked if the two could ever work together again. Another WWE source also said they hav not heard anything as it pertains to a mended relationship between Punk and WWE, and they would not feel comfortable reaching out to Punk given the current situation.
