“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”
lmao
Remember, those of us who are eternally online make up a small minority of WWE’s fan base, most of them are just going to see CM Punk has returned.
I think WWE believes, and they are probably right, that they can keep a handle on him better than AEW did because he’s not going to be treated like the biggest deal in the company in WWE.
I’d also wager there are a few guys that would want to immediately break a foot off in his ass just to keep him in line. “You ain’t pulling that shit here, Phil.”
Please let this eventual footage land on YouTube lol
There’s some truth to that, but I don’t think it will stop Punk from exploding again. Hell, not being treated like the star he sees himself as might set him off sooner.
Though it will be significantly less damaging to WWE when he does, since, like you said, he’s not the biggest name there.
