Yeah I jumped the gun with that. As soon as they went off the air Saturday I bought the T shirt and now this one on the site doesn’t have that little logo at the bottom. The Punk shirt with the Survivor Series logo was removed from WWEShop yesterday. They may have replaced it with the non-SS logo one knowing it was a bit of misstep? I think the Survivor Series one was limited. Each shirt had a different listing/name, so I doubt it’s the same shirt.

Cody better not win the Rumble again. Get creative with how we get to Cody/Roman II. I can’t tell if we’re gonna get heel Punk as the “hypocrite” character, or if we get the heel Rollins that feels betrayed by the fans… but they’re doing that with Drew already. Seth/Jay and Drew/Sami next week… already a solid card for RAW. being anything else than a hypocrite wouldn’t really make sense with the way his career has unfolded “hey, I just said for two years how this company is a cancer and said it with conviction, but uhh, I’m home! luv u guys” lol

“Yes Phil. It’s your first time in a WWE segment in almost 10 years. Not really. It’s easy to forget, but he was on multiple episodes of WWE Backstage in 2019. Which, whether you think he’s a hypocrite or not, can be used to reinforce either position. But the idea that he’s had nothing to do with WWE in a decade is pretty much just a storyline. That said, anyone who thought WWE was going to give him a platform in the Raw main event to complain about a smaller wrestling show is insane. They very rarely did that kind of thing even with WCW when they were in actual competition. They are never going to do it with TNA-type shows. It wouldn’t serve any purpose for WWE in 2023 to let a wrestler close Raw with an axe-grinding rant about indie drama or whatever. Save that for Ariel Helwani interviews.

X-PAC’s return was pretty much the original Raw After WrestleMania moment and he was complaining about Eric Bischoff in that. The Raw main event even in those days was very seldom just a new signing crying about WCW though. I can’t think of any examples where they did it, maybe once with Jeff Jarrett in 1997? But to your point, yeah, it’s never going to happen when “winning” - especially by such a large margin. It’d be great for wrestling gossip website clicks, but nobody outside of that would benefit from it.

I watch both companies. I like when they mention or take shots at each other. It's something that is seemingly unique to wrestling. We got to see WWF and WCW take shots at each other every week and it was awesome. You never watched "Friends" back then and heard Chandler talking about how "Seinfeld" was a shetty show. You never saw David Letterman calling Jay Leno an azzhole. You don't go to a (Marvel) Avengers movie and hear Thor talking about how (DC) Batman is a puzzy.
If you did your jaw would hit the floor. Wrestling allows that in it's world and it always gets a reaction. It doesn't even have to be anything offensive. DX did a reunion last year and HHH said Billy Gunn couldn't be there because he was "off doing something with office equipment" and it was fecking hilarious.
CM Punk didn't have to come out and say FU Tony Khan your company f ing sucks. He could have come up with something clever like his "counterfeit bucks" line though and been ambiguous about it. I was hoping he would and then would tune in to Dynamite on Wednesday to see if anyone wants to say something back.
