CM Punk FIRED from AEW; Returns to WWE

[KateFabersBoyfriend]

What's the over/under before we hear backstage drama involving Punk

Immediately. Whether it will be true or not...

CM Punk and AJ Lee vs Cody Rhodes and Brandi is money.

Swear on everything Larry dog walks through fireworks and doesn't get PTSD back to catering.

Keep Brandi off tv unless its a bra and panties match. Punk as heel but AJ face and Cody as face but Brandi as heel.

I honestly believed everything they were saying about no punk at Survivor Series and didn’t think there was a chance in hell until I saw this on Friday. Seemed way too random to be a coincidence. Based on their explanation of the timeline they probably did it at the last minute too.

How delusional to think Starks is the one who’s taking shine away from BIG BILL

 

[Ohnoits]

I just came in to say I find this hilarious and that I and others called it and said he would be back in WWE and that AEW fukked up and this is on Tony and the Elite and their "locker room cancer" propaganda campaign they went on with Dave because they were fearful for their spots smh letting one of wrestlings biggest draws walk out the door.

And you can reply and say oh Collision's ratings were shyt and Dynamite was shyt etc - but if you book around someone like Punk properly, and you build storylines properly, people will tune in and see him where he is. Now he's back in WWE and they sold over 32k tickets in two days in Chicago (Smackdown + Survivor Series) and made over 83 million views across social media in 24 hours.

AEW's momentum was gone well before Jungle Boy. Brawl Out and the aftermath was what really fukked AEW but it wasn't quite understood at the time because it took a minute for the downward spiral to happen. But it planted the seeds.

I was one of the people saying it's crazy that Tony isn't making Punk fight the Bucks on the ALL IN show but because they sold 80,000 and all that it was like, meh whatever..

But the seeds were planted that TK had lost control of his own company and wasn't going to do anything to restore his power over the performers.

With the way tickets sold for All In, I can get not having it there, save that matchup for another PPV that would need more help selling tickets. Don't think anyone had on their list Punk going nuts fighting Jungle Boy and getting in a heated conflict with TK before his PPV match on their bingo card though.

Brandi Rhodes is the opposite of money

 

[Mob H]

Just the idea that Punk was gonna be all but blackballed from the industry because he got into with some glorified indie geeks is laughable.

 

[Brad Piff]

See ya soon Ricky

But they call everybody else tribal

I still say that WWE doesn't need CM Punk. But WWE doesn't really have anything to lose in this situation either.

I know the narrative was that he didn't get along with Hunter, but it's interesting that his return was orchestrated Hunter and Nick Khan and Vince was allegedly completely unaware of it and Vince is the one that had him removed when he showed up backstage at Raw five months ago.

I can't wait until he wrestles his first Saudi match. The Hypocrisy

He’s gonna get a taste of that blood money covered [redacted]

 

[CBoz]

If Sami can put his differences aside and attend a Saudi show, I'm sure CM Punk will be there. I guess we will see in May.
