“AEW locker room is SAD & EMBARRASSED over CM Punk situation.” | UPDATE: “CM PUNK PUT MY SAFETY, SECURITY & LIFE IN DANGER! HE’S FIRED!” - TONY KHAN

Khan now gets a ratings bump without having to do the “major announcement” . Not a bad move and gets people talking

He was just trying to visit friends backstage

Dude is about to be the face of a 2 hour prime time show on Saturday nights and he's out here pulling publicity stunts flirting with the competition.

Between the drama, injury history, and age, it's not a good idea to build around this guy.

I don't think Vince would make the same decision these days given what AEW is now

What's AEW these days and what's Punk shown that Vince would've change his mind. Punk kinda proved him right

AEW isn't a threat but it's still competition, and Turner sees Punk as a bigger star than anybody else in that company. So taking/keeping him away from AEW would probably be of interest to him just to put his thumb on them even more.

So they’re about to give this guy a his own show basically and he decides now is a good guy to visit Raw? He’s either the dumbest man alive or he is purposely thumbing his nose to Tony Khan.

Punk ain’t foolin nobody. He wanna get a close look at maryse titties.

Apparently he may be doing it to thumb his noes at the Elite too.
Somebody posted he may be doing this, going to Miz and Haitch to "clear the air" to show ppl he is willing to work things out/apologize, so the Elite must be the problem. I can imagine Punk doing some petty shyt like that

I don't think anyone needed Turner to tell them that lol. I'm sure Vince knew it at the time because it was obvious to everyone besides AEW lovers who think Bucks/Omega matter anywhere but Japan

Vince looked at numbers during his prime years and didn't think he was worth the headache. I can't actually say he was wrong after Punk's been fighting coworkers, racking up injuries, and showing up backstage across the street

Kanye and CM Punk remind me of each other.
