From what I've read from his Starcast thing was that he's clearly all about the money now, which makes sense
Anyone else get the feeling CM Punk is returning..... to WWE?

Because Vince would do anything in his power to keep talent away from AEW, including offer half a million to an upstart bum tag team from NXT that requested their release?
It’s deeper than pride
And the people saying punk doesn’t have passion for the business is literally making my point. A passion for the business move would be AEW. Punk is about them oochies, and Vince got the oochies to give

Is Punk going to move the needle any though? He not a mainstream name really ...other then the wrestling guy that got destroyed my Mickey Gall in 10 seconds.... So why would Vince really offer him heaven and Earth when he a non factor

I don't see him coming back, but if he do, it'll be the equivalent of a battered woman going back to an abusive boyfriend. Dude almost died, and got fired on his wedding day. 
But then again, Bret came back for a few checks.

I’m surprised the Bart/Krusty doll smiley hasn’t been remixed with him.

What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
I definitely see him coming back, but not any time soon. Within the next five years, I could see it happening. 
He's not going to hate wrestling for the rest of his life. Eventually, he's going to get the itch back. But he definitely won't do it full-time. He'll probably have a Lesnar/Batista schedule.

nikka, the revival and the good brothers don’t move a fraction of the needle and got half a million to resign..
When you have blood money from Saudi Arabia, huge tv deals and quarterly earnings out of the ass, you’re afforded the luxury to toss money around.
- $12M is ludicrous for a guy like Punk. he's not a draw outside of diehard wrestling fans (and he was one of the worst drawing WWE champions of all time). the UFC only paid him $500,000 per fight and the PPV's that he took part in were some of the worst drawing PPV's each year for UFC. there's a reason why he co-hosted a shytty MTV contest show and is part-time commentating for amateur MMA fights in front of 500 people and not getting offers elsewhere for big money.
- Full creative control would never happen and shouldn't happen. Ronda Rousey and Brock Lesnar don't even have that and they draw money.
- 100% residuals?Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold, and Rock never had that and why should they? WWE does have to see a return on their investment
no business in their right mind would do that.
- limited dates would absolutely happen. that's realistic.
Looks at yearly bank statement
I wish someone would pay me $500,000 to get my ass kicked

I really don’t care if he comes back. Y’all are setting yourself up for disappointment if you think he would be able to come back and just get right back to his prime years. He would be rusty, he wouldn’t be ass motivated and he isn’t a big enough star to pay the amount of money he would want.

It literally came out the man's mouth at Starrcast, no need to speculate. He's about the bag...
If he said he's open to it, and taking calls from either Vince or Hunter, they'll throw him the farm. They won't let him go to AEW. That's a father in their hat WWE can't afford. Add to it the Fox deal, and the writing is almost on the wall...
Punk would instantly become the biggest name they have.
