I think everyone gotta move past this already including Punk

Nothing wrong with putting feelers out but WWE doesnt fukk with bro to the point that wrestlers went into to business for themselves like SRS reported to get under his skin with the hints and GTS

Hes got a lot of worth when hes fine but this is like a 18 month bad run even worse than historically hes known for and hes gotta mend himself mentally cause this is worse than anything before pre-empting sheets and what not and then fighting people in the sheets.

With the way WWE is rolling now, Punk should be a break glass in case of emergency situation in the event tickets and viewership start going on a steady decline.

Inless WWE thinks they can somehow make more money in the live gate with him, which would mean raising ticket prices or going to bigger venues, he’s not moving the needle there.

Given the timing, the only way they will really be able to parlay Punk into more TV rights money is if they bring him back ASAP on Raw in hopes he can pull some people back in who opt to watch MNF instead. And that’s only if he makes any significant and sustainable contribution to the viewership numbers

He’ll sell a ton of merch, but given how small any one person’s merch revenue is relative to all of WWE revenue, it’s but a mere drop in the bucket.

So is it really worth his headaches for some merch money?

It’s still so crazy that he fukked up his AEW situation :heh:

This lunatic had his own fukking show and roster :laff:
He attacked the EVPs and still got his own show. His boss is a fan that let him do whatever he wanted.

He had the creative freedom to do the stories he wanted.

He could ban anyone he wanted from his brand.

He still ended up fighting another coworker and lunging at the boss on the biggest show of the companies history.

Everything he complained about in WWE, he got in AEW and he still found a way to screw it up. Complete career suicide. Burning bridges with the 2 biggest companies in industry.

Damn it might be over for Punk. :mjcry:

This was his last chance at a big contract. Impact and New Japan don't got money like that and those small acting gigs and indie commentary he does on the side don't pay much. Maybe WWE will give him a legends deal so AJ doesn't divorce him.
