CM Punk only ever had issues with outlaw goofs who wanted to do bad booking and bad television and with Tony Khan cause Tony does not know how to book. Full stop. I’m glad he’s back in the company where bad booking isn’t exacerbated by incompetence. As much as I wish bad booking wasn’t such a prevalent issue, at least in WWE Punk will be booked more properly and have more competent people to work with both in ring and in terms of producing TV. Aside from that, I’m happy to just be a fan and hope the matches and angles are better than not cause I just love pro wrestling and want it to not make me look stupid for enjoying the good stuff. CM Punk was first and foremost a product of ROH. His entire aura and marketability has been that of a punk rocker rebelling against the machine. The fact that he couldn't make it in a company that was very much of the same spirit he came from was very telling. He's a Hot Topic punker at this point. He's Green Day, not the Ramones. Going to be sad watching him back in the most palatable and casual friendly wrestling company in America, I thought he was done with that. I too am pretty disheartened with it. He can do what he wants, completely free from my selfish desires, but I haven't been shy about sharing the message that it sends. Taking everything that happened in the past two years, I'll disagree that that particular culture clash is indicative of a sellout or a poser or whatever one cares to call it. Punk signing with WWE in the first place, fine. Him re-signing in 2011 purely for the money despite contemplating actually walking away, fine. |

As long as no one wants to use real glass in a match.

Give Punk the World Title A lot of people would be upset I feel like butttt if Triple H thinks that’s best for business, run it🤷♂️. I do think the new world heavy weight title would look good on Punk. |

Other than a great drama free run, here are the 3 things I would like to see CM Punk do -
1) A match vs Roman while Roman is still the champion
2) A few weeks in NXT and a match on one of their PLEs
3) Eat a Skull Crushing Finale

Reading this one on if it's real or a work is giving me crazy deja vu lol! That said, the dirt sheets are saying Punk may actually have a behavior clause in his new contract. Wild.
I fully believe he added to said contract that he must win a belt in WWE, just as I thought he did over in AEW. In my opinion, he'll be the one to beat Roman. Cody can wait.

I think so. There's a different attitude & mood around the camp compared to the other side, and compared to 2014 WWE.

I think Seth Rollins the character will become the voice of the Internet's criticism toward Punk. And doing things that way, WWE will be able to bring in viewers who normally only watch AEW and the indies. The Internet will represent itself through Seth, with the payoff being a match at WM40. Should be good, and smart business on WWE's end.

I'd say Seth will also be looked at as a legit top guy in the business again. Overall, everyone wins,including fans. |

If people like Logan Paul in WWE there better be no complaint about CM Punk. Logan has had more heat outside of WWE and nobody seems to be protesting him being in the company. Anybody who has a problem with CM Punk and WWE's choice to bring him back. Triple H has two words for yah....

Lashley did an interview and was very open and honest about his feelings about Punk and he needs to earn everything he gets back with boys and the company. First test of someone openly kinda questioning him.

I don't think Punk needs to earn anything back... And who gives a you-know-what, about what boring, Bobby Lashley thinks? Man's been stealing a living as a sports "entertainer", for years now - being that he doesn't have an entertaining bone in his body.

Just imagine telling someone to prove themselves for WWE's sake, the company that inherently tells everyone that nobody matters.
