I read the Dax comments the same way a lot of y'all do too, total attempt to put pressure on Tony Khan to bring him back and make the Elite look like heels for "not allowing it".
I enjoy both sides as performers and don't have a real dog in the fight, but I woulda let the door hit Punk's ass on the way out just based on the press conference. Between that and the Adam Page callout, at the end of the day, Punk only cares about himself and will burn down everything around him if he doesn't get his way. Why risk it again?
Punk was objectivley in the wrong but where I think the convo of never letting him back again falls apart for me is there was already a culture of people sideways burying each other and fights happening (Andradae, Sammy, Kingston not only getting into scraps but saying who he doesnt like on press tours legit and thinking they arent good for the company, Omega's locker room speech, even if he was joking the word back to the sheets was it divided the locker room). I think thats probably why Punk insanely thought it was no big deal cause people were fighting every week.
My thing is if people are fixing things, see whats up with him and where is mindstate is at and have him talk it out. They'll know at the table if hes gonna play ball or not
To be honest with you, the guy Im worried about recreating disruption and instigating is Jericho more than anyone. I actually think Punk and Omega might be able to co-exists, Young Bucks Im not sure but they did have a relationship with Punk before this (Which is the wild part and why I think he may thought it was fine to pop shyt)
