“Regarding C.M. Punk, there is obviously tons of talk regarding him returning. There have been rumors that it’s happening, but those in WWE have only said that no deal is completed and those close to Punk have told us that it is his intention to return and the two sides are in talks. One would expect if such a deal is made that Survivor Series weekend in Chicago would be the time to do the surprise return”

    I think he rubbed the AEW locker-room the wrong way because he seen himself as better than all the “indie” guys, which basically was the entire locker-room. He might not cause the same level of damage amongst peers that share that same inflated ego mindset.

      I mean, his attitude wasn’t that different in his previous WWE run, from what I understand. He apparently very much saw himself as a “locker room leader”, and rubbed a lot of people the wrong way by trying to act in that capacity. And he did walk out on the company after a heated argument with Vince.

      We cut him a lot of slack because most of his criticisms about WWE were what we were saying all along, but looking back, none of what has gone down should have been a surprise.
