If Bryan goes to AEW I think he’ll be able to get Punk out of retirement.

Don't think that's in the cards. Punk seems pretty content with what he's doing and doesn't have to worry about being given Z-Packs for everything

outside of wanting to wrestle a couple of "dream matches" elsewhere, what incentive does he have to leave the company where he's a made man and a prominent part of a reality show with his wife that they promote?

If he does leave, it's probably to do those matches in a span of a few months or a year and then come back in time for Mania in Los Angeles. Money, job security, and having his wife and father-in-law work for the company is a lot to leave on the table.

I don't think he'll leave, but If AEW offered him more money for less dates - which is basically what he's said he wants - you could maybe call him a mark for staying with WWE, but even then - that's his business.

As far as writing - the care AEW has taken with the Hangman Page arc for the past two years is probably the best written long term wrestling storyline going today, and arguably the best since Bryan's run to Mania 30.

This Monday's Raw featured a guy getting a rose booted into his a$$hole.
Everyone's entitled to their biases, but you're delusional as fukk if you think Vince is anywhere near the peak of TV writing right now. :heh:

Huh???? :picard:

None of this will happen most likely. Probably will just re-sign with WWE on a part time basis for a lot of money:yeshrug:

Given his bout with Vanillus Midgetitus and looking like a REI employee, I'm sure they called him back to work with retail sales starting to pick up.

They certainly won’t do it…but lowkey…if WWE really IS “open for business”…

They’d retain Bryan but allow him to appear/wrestle a handful of matches in other places, then find some dope/logical way to bring him back in. WWE strikes a deal with the other promotions involve, maybe pay them or something. No, we not bringing any of your guys onto our shyt, but you’ll get a rub by agreeing to this.

How many of these other promotions wouldn’t be on no :ohhh:?
Maybe the MLW thing was Daniel's idea all along.:jbhmm:

As long as they keep that shyt away from Smackdown and NXT IDGAF.

You're telling the wrong person, chief. I haven't watched a WWE show since New Day beat Demolition's record. :hubie:

Good thing there isn't a foreign royal family who is willing to pay untold amounts of money to book WWE talent in all sort of wild and crazy ang --

Oh.

Oh, dear..... :lupe:

Must I point out the obvious? If, with his history of concussions, he signs with AEW and wrestles regularly with those green high spot obsessed botch machines, he'll be a step above a vegetable by the time he's 50
