Tony is so inept that he rebuilt a long burnt bridge between WWE and Punk. Generational talent.
this comment is gold
Fumble of CM Punk in AEW needs to be studied
His next challenge is to see if he can re-retire edge with a neck injury.....
Punk screwed himself. Love him, but was a problem in ROH, WWE, and AEW. @@sarjeshkhadgi2841
Best thing Tony’s ever done
I hope for a future where Punk, Cody, and MJF all walk into a WWE locker room, catch each other’s eyes, and start laughing hysterically.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Given All the money he'll spent on all 3 the moment you speak on...priceless!!!
MJF and Punk having their third match in WWE alone would be worth it
‘look at us, who wouldve thought?’
‘not me’
We'll get that next year when MJF's contract is up
Punk trusted AEW so much that not only he did that amazing promo on his return to wrestling (putting Tony over,the company over and everything), but it was reported at the time that he wanted to retire there. He trusted his legacy to Tony and the God of Marks stabbed him in the back...embarrassing, just embarrassing🤦🏻
To be honest, Punk was an idiot for thinking that.
It's really sad, you can tell he was giving it his all to put on a great show and a lot of thought into it, but unfortunately the stress of working with the Young Buck's faction was too much for him.
@@RandalfElVikingo tbh, most of us were bcus of how good aew was in 2021, before it all went to shit, such a shame
@@yaseen9044 AEW was never good.
@@RandalfElVikingo ok there was a brief moment from mid to late 2021 to early 2022 where it was bearable/decent, quit lying
Since Punk is the current AEW World Champion, he can fight Cody for the one belt AEW wouldn't give him.
He wouldn't even have to mention AEW in the promos. He could just come out with the bag like he did before and challenge Cody for what's inside.
Cody wouldn’t tarnish what he started, Punk could careless for AEW, and the legal department at WWE would rather not get involved with AEW’s Legal Aid Society.
@@virgilhawkins7368It's the "Real World's Championship".... Just cover up the AEW logo on it and it's good and makes it's point...
Cody doesn't want any world title that isn't the "WWE Championship". It's Roman's belt or he'll stay in the mid/tag division. He pretty much said this during his documentary.
Cm punk can join the bloodline from the invitation of Paul . Paul Heyman convinces Roman that they need the help since jey left and with the judgement day and hurt business on the rise they can use his help and as a sort of good faith punk hands the aew belt to Roman 😂😂😂 Roman will dropped the belt in the trash and tells punk you are back in the major leagues now paul trust you but i dont remember im the big dog here and a fight for power will happen later on but not after punk captures seths 3rd rate belt and helps solo and jimmy get the tag titles.
Imagine messing up so bad that u made WWE and CM Punk work together again. Tony Khan should actually fear for his life now.
Such good shit pal 😂😂😂
CM Punk is mentally ill.
He going to blame the buckaroo for it abd Jungle Jackoff becoming their scapegoat
Thing is, Punk was actively trying to get back into WWE when he was on that short lived FS1 show.
@@mattb.2740people forget that. Yeah communications broke down as the show got cancelled due to covid and AEW came in with a truck load of money.
“My fear is that he comes in, and they put him with like Rollins for awhile or something.”😂😂
Coming back to hear Jim after punks return ,this guy knows the business, should be a surprise wwe hall of fame inductee
Never thought I’d see a set of circumstances that’d bring Phil back to WWE, but then along comes Tony, Twinkletoes, and The Bucks with a level of emotional immaturity previously unbeknownst to man and here we are. Crazy.
Maybe endevour owning wwe helped maybe
Perez Hilton thinks the Young Bucks gossip too much.
I have to say I don't think omega was a issue after the first incident I think he was like ok it happened but I want to do business and make money the bucks are this issue and culprits to what lead up to the second issue omega clearly has been distancing himself from the bucks because he knows he won't grow with those two anchors around his neck
Tony broke out the GOOD cocaine last night.
His jaw must be clenched of fury and the best Colombian powder 😂😂😂
Tony Khan is proof that marks should only be on the other side of the barricade.
Dave is his own source for half of his stories.
Other half: BA, YBN, YBM, & CJ
@@ebransc09True...
The other half is Chris Jericho doing different voices down the phone like Mrs Doubtfire
Punk, Cody, & MJF all in the Rumble together will be surreal.
Surreal because it's a dream that won't come true. Tony will offer MJF unheard of money just to stay, even if it's just a year extension. MJF isn't even 30, so he has plenty of time to jump ship
Why do ppl want MJF in WWE? Y’all some weirdos! I can tell y’all are young! You all only know WWE. All the great talent shouldn’t just be in WWE. Real wrestling fans want all wrestling companies to do well not just one
@@thesupervisor3270He'd be horribly neutered in WWE
I think it’s destined to happen, and I hope punk makes the most of the opportunity for the fans. AEW fumbled an amazing roster.
cm punk leaving means jay white gets an opprtunity so im glad hes gone
@@gaysonmartinocho5262 Jay White isn’t a huge name. He’s only big to a sub sect of wrestling fans
@@gaysonmartinocho5262Jay White was cringe on the mic. He's protected by the fame associated with being a Bullet Club member only.
@@AlexanderMacAoidhJay white is a big fish in a small pond, but at least he has credibility unlike plumber’s crack and orange juice
@@gaysonmartinocho5262 Idiot mark.
I cannot wait for the followup video to this.
A lot of people blame CM Punk for being “unprofessional” and the WWE won’t hire. Let’s clear the air… Punk didn’t do anything wrong. He only openly revealed how he was working with unprofessional people (Khan, Bucks, Omega, Hangman) and he confronted Jack Perry, who btw instigated the confrontation. So yes, WWE would be the best place for Punk, at least the young talent down in NXT will ask him for advice and not smart mouth him.
Just say you hate AEW 🤣
@@ShawnRakarNo one hates AEW more than AEW. Tony is killing and shitting all over his own company. I actually prefer to watch it over WWE. But the company is suffering. Something needs to change and it wont until TK hires a Booker, a proper team to handle things and cuts the elite and their stooges loose.
@@ShawnRakarif you mark for a company who decides to fire CM Punk over Jack perry idk what to tell you.
WWE gets punk aew lost the war for good
@@ShawnRakarnah the elite hate aew pal 😂😂😂
Dutch Mantel is saying that Punk will return to the WWE. I'd trust what Dutch has to say as well as Cornette
Thank you Einstein
Dutch doesn't have inside information. It's just a guess from him and he doesn't have a pulse on what WWE management is today.
Neither of these guys have any more information than we do. If the WWE didn't want CM Punk before mid-2021, why would they want him now?
@@Arctic_Falcon from what i read there have been talks between them in the past. they just didnt come to agreements back then, but they did want him even before. however for a very long time punk was away from wrestling Altogether. so why would you try to hire someone who at-the-time wasnt interested in working this job. but ever since he returned and showed hes interested in doing wrestling again there have been reports multiple times through his run in AEW, especially when he had issues with the Elite, that the WWE tried to see if he would want to come there instead.
CM PUNK IS ALRADY SIGNED THEY S NO PONT WWE TEASED HIM ON THEIR TELEVISION
Who’s back after survivor series??
They've been teasing it for 3 weeks in a row,Seth Rollins is always in the screen during the CM Punk references
Survivor Series will be awesome
Punk V Rollins is goina be 🔥🔥🔥
Not always. Michael Cole made a "he lunged at him" comment regarding Miz and LA Knight the RAW after the UK incident with Punk.
Then Seth Rollins will put CM Punk in the sharpshooter, then Triple H runs out and calls for the bell and gives both Rollins and Punk the pedigree. Dave Meltzer will award the Rollins/Punk match a 5-Star Rating. Conrad Thompson will make an appearance dressed as the Gobbledy Gooker.
i was 50 50 on the teases until corey graves said "the greatest trick the devil ever pulled" on smackdown when talking about rollins vs nakumora. this is 100 percent fucking happening.
@@mrdrumz48meltzer hates punk it wont get 3 stars.
Tony had one of the most monumental returns in wrestling history in his hands, and he flubbed it so hard, that he created a situation for a return that will trump the one he had. 🙃 if you told me that a couple years ago I’d have just laughed at the “fantasy booking”.
I guess, thanks snowman.
Such good shit pal 😂😂
Just like Bret Hart on WCW.
😆 snowman
Edge's return at The Royal Rumble was arguably a bigger return and they could have done so much if they hadn't decided to pair him up with heat killer Randy.
In my dumb opinion the first Jericho debut still ranks high on my list
And he came back!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Damn they hit the nail on the fuckin head cm jus came back JIM CORNETTE IS GOD
Was waiting for this hood classic to drop

If punk wouldn't have gone to AEW in the first place this probably wouldn't be happening, he was perfectly content with what he was doing, now going to WWE isn't just about money, it's out of spite!!
Works for me.
well spite is one thing but he obviously doesnt want his legacy or the final years of his career to be looked at as a mess, he wants to end it right, and what better place to do it than wwe?
@@yaseen9044 true. heard he wanted to retire in AEW, now that thats been ruined im sure after a good run in WWE he will retire there. hopefully we will see him as an announcer or something still. could be adding his greatness onto everything even while he doesnt want to wrestle anymore.
@@DaggerPrince a commentator or being a coach/trainer like booker t would be perfect for punk post final retirement
I hope he comes back, Punk gets me excited about wrestling. In my opinion wrestling needs CM Punk.
Not only your opinion, my friend
Wwe is making record money. They don’t need him
@@jaredgarrison333 WWE doesn’t need anyone, the majority of the fans would love for Punk to come back. The stories would be amazing.
@@SteelCity570 that’s true. But they still don’t need him
Yeah come back so he can whine and quit again.
You gotta figure that the need to draw money, and a more professional corperate structure in WWE makes people more willing to work together.
The Elite can afford to sabatoge Punk because theyre in the boss' ear, and their money isnt relied on if they can draw or not.
Bingo and this is the reason aew is in the mud 😂😂😂
Punk thinks he'll be treated well there as an F.U. to AEW... but he won't. He's his own worst enemy and now there's an even more faceless, even more corporate entity running the show. He's going to get eaten alive, probably fed to Roman or Brock quickly, and then forgotten or thrown down to the mid-level as a gate keeper like Cody. Trotted out for Chicago shows, sure, but mostly ignored until he fusses in public and then canned. Punk won't be happy until his career ends with a fizzle.
@@johnowen9349I really don't want you to be right because that sounds awful
How many other people have had serious issues with the Elite? How many other people have had problems with CM Punk?
@@Arctic_Falcon Based off Punks latest instagram post it seems he will sign for one year. I will say this, if Punk signs with WWE and there are no problems during his tenure, this will be a bad look for AEW and show how childish (Punk pointed this out) the EVPs are.
Tony dropped the ball with Punk. He chose the cocumanga kids over his biggest draw. It clearly shows he's just a mark who has no clue how to run a wrestling promotion.
All Friends Wrestling isn't a dig at them, its literally the mindset, its not about making money its about friends wrestling with their friends whether it draws 2 canadian dollars or not
@@TimeBomb014X what are your thoughts on edge and christian working together?
CM Punk is like Jim Cornette: He doesn't work well with others. Who's the most common denominator here, in multiple companies?
@@DRIVING_ME_CRAZYthey both are also coincidentally among the best of what they do. When you know you are great and gain confidence from it and also don't take shit from people you don't respect for whatever conviction you have you get people like Punk.
Assaulting people is never ok. They need to do better.@@cripplingcaffeineaddiction3847
Just need Max now.
Punk will do fine in WWE. It isn't run by children. 😂
and yet it is
Have you never heard of Vince McMahon?
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE NEWS THAT YOU WON'T HEAR FROM ANYBODY ELSE except from Dave's wrestling observer: Wrestlers take showers after having a match.
Meltzer went there to report.
No matter where he is in the world, even in the most inopportune places Meltzer is always there to report
I’m just here to say whelp
What a prediction!
Well, about that…
i am tempted to buy a ticket for Survivor Series just to see if he's going to be there, haven't been to a Chicago WWE PPV since Money in The Bank
TK made CM Punk the hottest free agent in wrestling
“the enemy of my enemy is my friend “
The enemy of your enemy can also say "hit the bricks".
They’ve been doing “happy accidents” the past 2-3 weeks now and it’s always during a Rollins segment, and like they said at the end Punk coming back and nothing bad happens AEW will have that hang over them forever and I agree Punk vs Cody at mania would be fantastic and make a lot of sense
I'm pretty sure the planned Mania match would be Punk vs Seth. Seth has always been the "I hate CM Punk" guy, and I'm sure from a business perspective, WWE will do everything in their power to try and convince AJ Lee to make an appearance to exchange words with Becky. It just makes sense.
Right now it's looking like Roman vs Cody, Jey vs Jimmy, Gunther vs LA Knight, and Punk vs Seth are going to be the big Mania matches if the rumors are true.
Punk vs Seth would happen purely because of Seth spoke about Punk being a cancer and wish he wouldn't return during an interview and Punk being Seth opponents at Mania show Punk is professional and willing to make amends for the sake of money and business and taking subtle jab at Buck for being a children's because they don't want to have amendments with Punk. Tony would be furious at Buckaroo because Punk is willing to make amends and be professional while their friends, Jungle Jackoff ruined everything by provoking Punk which led to Tony unwillingly fire Punk
@@marvinleong5902 I get what you guys are saying but Punk vs Cody is bigger that’s why I’m going that route but the Punk vs Seth route is definitely realistic
@@peytonlong5573 true, but both can happen also, provided Punk doesn't ruined it by himself. Facing Seth mean he is winning the Rumble match and get the Mania Night 1 main event spot so he might be okay with it. Punk vs Cody should be for the Undisputed WWE Universal title
@@marvinleong5902 I can see that
Well he's back 😂 well done wwe a lengend in the viper is back. And punk makes survivor series a highlight at the end 11.25.23 @10:56
Well it’s happened…
This aged like a fine wine.
I really think that Phil woumd up thinking to himself "Of I was going to come back to Wrestling and deal with all the bullshit, I should've just gone back to WWE in the first place". I think that's why he went to try and speak with the people in WWE, that he knew he should make amends with. Because he kinda knew that he'd be wanting to come back there, after he saw what the "structure" in AEW was like. He was probably feeling like DAMN IT, Vince and/or HHH would never allow this kind of bullshit to happen.
FACTS
Maybe wrestler court is somewhat useful now eh Phil?
Tony was dumb enough to get rid of his top draw and WWE is petty enough and business savvy enough to capitalize.
AEW Fans 4 Months Ago: “CM Punk doesn’t draw!”
That’s going to be a bitter taste in November.
Nevermind the fact those same fans were chanting his name when he debuted in AEW.
Just came here to say that Travis outdid himself this time. I'm cracking up with the whole visual of Triple H's black eye, Bruce running for dear life, and Jim on all fours with a collar running in a menancing way. Freaking gold.
I have been waiting for Corny's thoughts on this.
The Shield was CM Punks idea. But he had the idea rejected. Some months later...the Shield was born. And yet Roman, Rollins and Moxley. Have all taken shots at Punk through the years in interviews. I want SO BADLY for Punk to cost Rollins the title at SS. Or have a face off with Rollins to start a feud. The Shield made this personal. And it was when they were all long out of being The Shield.
Actually Seth doesn't have beef with Punk, he was just playing up the character. He really wants to have a match with Punk
it wasnt rejected, he wanted Chris Hero instead of Reigns
I think Punk's goodwill with The Shield went up in smoke after he beat them clean in a 3 on 1 handicap match at TLC 2013 and buried Roman on the Cabana podcast.
@@mattb.2740 In that same podcast he didn't like beating The Shield like that because it made the Stable look weak
@@mattb.2740he didn’t want to beat the shield
Wouldn’t you know who won the pony?
Tony somehow managed to let not only one of the founding fathers of AEW go but also arguably the biggest draw since Edge came in walk away. He is living proof that being fan/mark doesn't mean you know what you're doing. Thanks Tony!
Travis is amazing
That is all
The Arteest delivers. Paul looks like he got a black eye.
I really hope Punk gets to finish his story and ride off into the sunset 🌇
I definitely want to see Punk vs Cody. I think that's the better story to tell because there's history there.
punk vs cody should till after mania, cody should finish the story first
What history? Cody making fun of him for years in interviews?
Punk vs Reigns has history too with the Shield and with Heyman. I also want to see Punk/Miz because they had bad blood a few years ago
Him being backstage at that WWE event makes so much sense now he knew he wasnt gonna last at AEW so he made amends with HHH and WWE.
They are teasing CM Punk every week during Seth Rollins’ segments and matches
Tony Khan lived in his fears. And as such; he gave away the biggest star in pro wrestling back to the biggest pro wrestling company in the world.
AEW is gonna suffer for this. And the Buckaroos are the ones to blame for it.
Roman Reigns is much better
Such good shit pal
Tony dropped punk in the trash and picked up his edge action figure to play with.
Jade's recent debut was just a small taste of the WWE machine behind people they know they can turn around and turn into a star. With Punk, it's simply to going to be a major middle finger back to AEW and taking back all the good will that was built around the time Punk and Danielson were coming in along with the various ex-WWE signings during the pandemic. So if Punk is treated well and gets a good spot/push, it'll be another signal for people who were already looking to the WWE that they need to get over faster or prevent whatever counter offer Tony Khan might try to make negligible.
And right now, if you look at the WWE, they're doing one heck of a job building their future and getting the right people lined up. So with Punk back over there, it just gives the WWE one more key draw to work with. Of course, the question is what exactly will Punk say or do if he, indeed, returns? There's two things he should address: 1) the initial speech he gave on his AEW debut (namely the "place that made me sick" part); 2) why he returned (especially with the drama with the Elite, Tony, JB, etc).
Quite honestly, it's highly doubtful he might address either part. I doubt Vince nor HHH nor Endeavor would want him to talk about "the place that made me sick." However, 2) could be interesting just because it's not completely below Vince, etc. to take a shot at his competitors when the right moment arises. The only thing is that HHH might not want to take any shot just to "focus on WWE matters" even though Punk could just become the biggest heel in wrestling by dropping a different pipe bomb. I mean, Brian didn't talk about Cody and Punk facing one another as a result of a particular issue but the glaring one is that Cody has maintained that he likes the Elite while it's quite apparent that Punk probably can't stand them. However, because that issue isn't grounded within the WWE, it would be harder to get the WWE audience to care as well as giving too much coverage to AEW. They could start with a small seed using that situation as an impetus (Cody telling Punk both guys came from that place but the difference being that Cody is still friends with those other guys while Punk has no friends because he's bitter) then just switch it to a difference in philosophy. Maybe Cody can talk about his legacy, his father while Punk's legacy is about shooting himself in the foot. So there's some very good material to work with to get the audience invested while not directly addressing everything.
But I thought AEW wasn't even a blip on WWE's radar? lol.
They don't care about AEW, it's a tiny audience.
Umm outside of Tiffany Straton who has been given a bit by working with Becky, the WWE's future isn't that bright until they allow the younger stars to break through and not wait for them to be in their 40's.
The WWE once boasted an incredibly youthful roster due to WCW taking away all the older, established stars. I remember JR boasting about Al Snow and Gangrel's respective ages at one point. Today, the biggest "new star" is LA Knight who's in his 40's. Yes, it may be a DDP story where a guy gets mega over and gets a push in his twilight years.
The WWE has a ton of young talent in NXT, but being big in NXT doesn't always translate to the main roster. Ricochet and DIY were meant to be the WWE's way of giving fans what they wanted - new blood battle tested in NXT... all three big deals in NXT... all three failed to register with main roster crowds. HHH's little indie darlings, his pet projects... none in McMahon's wheelhouse or main roster crowds'.
Enzo was doing ok, but then mic work is the lifeblood of main roster talent. His attitude and in-ring clumsiness were his undoing, otherwise he might have been the LA Knight of his time.
Elias got massive reactions at one point and was given a lot of chances... but also saw almost all of these cut off short for no reason other than "Yeah, we've got nothing else, bruh."
Drew worked out... but then with his size, how could he not? The WWE gave him a lot... until they didn't and he, like others (see his pal Sheamus) are grumbling about Bloodline stuff making it tougher for those not involved in that story to get airtime (a sore point for long time upper midcarders/frequent main eventers).
I guess out of all non-Bloodline people Gunther and Seth are making out ok. Gunther ticks a lot of evil foreign heel boxes that McMahon always liked and Seth is being rewarded for his loyalty and intangibles (jobbing to Cody multiple times and making him look good, rebuilding himself time and time again, married to the biggest female star since Trish Stratus). Judgement Day is getting time due to Rhea/Dom being so over and the WWE love second generation stars as a rule.
Other than that? Revolving door of talent struggling to get a smidgen of attention outside of pre-big match angles. Nakamura is an outlier as the ABEMA deal meant the WWE were desperate for Japanese talent to showcase (why else would they agree to loan him to a non-WWE event featuring a guy who never worked for WWE?). And look how quickly the WWE go back to old nostalgia acts whenever they have a chance? Cena, Trish, and possibly the Rock is the stars align (and the strike continues). Hell, they're promoting the freakin' Undertaker for NXT!!! The UNDERTAKER!!!
“Thanks guys” - Booker of the Year
And he's back!!!....
When cm punk comes back I’m gonna be so happy. The roof will blow off the place. And Aew will be in the mud struggling
The writing on the wall will be revealed this Wednesday when people see how true star power in the WWE can crush AEW and it’s ratings
They’re already in the mud struggling
You WWE marks are the problem with wrestling today 💯 you guys don't own WWE very disturbing behavior
@@detmorales9151 Be quiet your AEW mark your little circus is about to implode don’t be upset because they very thing you didn’t want with Punk returning is going happen
@@detmorales9151Shut up Tony. Hide under your bed or else CM Punk will come for you😂😂
I feel like they would do Punk/Rollins first because you already have the story of Punk being the one who started the Shield, and the comments from Seth last year telling Punk to “stay away, you cancer”.
And it will be a jab at Buck for being a children's because Punk willing to make amendments with Seth and be professional enough for a feud and storyline for Mania
I came back after not watching since 2002 regularly because Punk and AEW promised wrestling for the first time since WCW used the word in name only. Now I’m reluctant to give WWE another chance with or without Punk, but I do check in now and again to see how Rex Steiner and now Pillman Jr are doing. Rhea Ripley is good too. AEW is burying most people who were friends of Punk. FTR will drop their belts to the F Goofs soon. I watch the Trailer Park Boys. I have plenty of words for AEW. Adam Page is a s-leopard who can’t change its spots. The Bucks and omega are definitely s-weasels.
FTR already dropped their belts to starks and big bill lol.
Cash got injured and FTR dropped belts already. Time for top guys to heal up and come back for another run
Wrestlmania 29, Punk verses Taker. Simply solid build, taker last great match. It was awesome in the land of PG at the time.
AEW should sign Green Bastard
Pillman Jr hasn’t even debuted yet, he’s had vignettes appear the last few weeks on NXT though
Travis again 😂😂 and Jim in the thumbnail 😭😭🤣🤣
I hate media spoilers cause it makes the return a lot less exciting
People where screaming "hypocrite" all over the internet when this came out. Like, this is the wrestling business. Never say never.
I mean, Bret Hart returned to be inducted into the hall of fame after the screwjob happend 9 years before and Scott Steiner, the guy who was one of the biggest shooter towards Triple H and the WWE, also got into the WWE Hall of Fame with Rick.
Time can heal all wounds.
Don't forget Ultimate Warrior, Goldberg and Road Dogg crapped on the company and they came back
@@williamwolfxrivera9929 and bruno sammartino
money also heals all wounds
Nah dudes is a hypocrite, literally two years ago he said he retired from wrestling in 06. So yeah that makes him the biggest one ever, and quite honestly I saw this coming. Just off of him signing the contract with fox to talk about WWE. He wanted to come back then and they said no, he wanted to be a good guy and bury some hatchets and got kicked out. Dude won’t man up and just say he was wrong
@@ThaTruth223what the hell are you on about? What was he wrong about? Leaving? Because he left, sued the wwe and fucking WON.....that says everything he said was most likely true. He also made remarks many years ago about vince banging talent. Welp that was true too wasnt it. In fact since punk left the wwe as far as health goes has gotten way better confirmed by taker just a few years ago.
Cm punk coming back to wrestling isnt him being a hypocrite. Like how the fuck can u ppl use that word wrong. Its where u tell someone not to do something and then u do it. At what point has punk ever told anyone hey guys never go to the wwe and then done it himself. Never.
The entire AEW line up look tiny now Edge has arrived, apart from Big Bill who looks like an XL version of Edge.
Imagine punk showing up and throwing the "bag" in the garbage 😂😂😂
It's probably gonna happen if u mind that years ago happened with a female wrestler in WCW , so Punk would do the same promo and also mentioning that he made a mistake going somewhere else
@@v.bcastro7026 one can only hope
My favorite line is "he has had problems everywhere he went TNA, ROH, WWE and AEW".
In TNA he had a fight with Teddy Hart, he left TNA when they decided TNA talent couldnt work ROH shows anymore. He was an under card guy in TNA and upper card guy in ROH no brainer why he left TNA and had nothing to do with his Teddy Hart fight. ROH he left on good terms they did a big farewell for him when he left there to go to WWE. The issues he had in WWE are well documented and majority of it was to do with management not other guys on the active roster.
Most wrestlers had a problem with Teddy Hart.
@@rccomics isn’t teddy hart the one with quite the rap sheet? If you get what I mean?
Name another (sober and clean) wrestler who has had the amount of issues with other talent that CM Punk has. The guy clearly has behavioral/mental health issues.
@@Arctic_Falcon you dont even know if half the stuff people say is true or believable. alot of them couldve started the problems and then blamed it on him. you werent there to see the actual story. i mean lets look through a few examples.. Kevin Owens.. their problem wasnt anything big at all actually and Cornette himself says Owens is a huge troublemaker and annoying. AJ Styles - so were going to take the word of a Flat Earther? see? Already two examples of two guys tryina say stuff about him but none of them is really a very credible source for this type of stuff. also i doubt you got like a list of all the things that happened or that you got actual video evidence of all those events. youre just repeating what you heard online.
Also how come all the great top guys: John Cena, The Rock, Rey Mysterio, The Undertaker, Eddie Guerrero, Samoa Joe, Kofi Kingston, FTR, MJF, Hobbs, Darby Allin, Jade Cargill and so on and so forth. How come they all liked him? Probably cuz they werent jealous of his Spot so they didnt bother making up Lies about him or starting Issues. even Shawn Michaels likes him alot. how come bruv?
And those same people completely ignore that he sued the wwe and fucking WON!!!!! Which means at the very least over 50% of the shit he said was true to make the judge rule in favor of punk.
Hell punk wasnt even in AEW long before he mentioned working with kids
The difference is WWE has talent that are professional and willingly to what best for business
AEW has talent unprofessional wrestlers who gets thier feeling hurt
Cody even said so recently, that WWE has changed backstage immensely since his first stint there. He said it’s like a big club where everyone gets along and works together to make WWE the best they can make it to be. I’m sure talent still has problems with creative and management on occasion but you never hear it getting out of hand and it sounds like the talent has no beef with each other in the WWE locker room. Totally different atmosphere Punk will be walking into imo
@@robdurfee6861 And in a few years when he returns to AEW after never winning a world title, I'm sure we'll hear the truth, or some form of it. All wrestling promotions go in cycles. Just a few years ago a large number of wrestlers in WWE were begging to leave, while many others only stayed because the money was too good to pass up. When a few more AEW stars jump ship and get buried, it will all cycle back.
CM Punk!!!!!!!
I’m really hyped for a punk wwe run. Wwe changed a lot from how it was in 2011, and people act like punks this horrible guy to work with but they forget that vince McMahon, a guy who not only has full scripts for everyone on television but also has lists of banned words and phrases, trusted cm punk to go out and say whatever he wanted on tv, ignore all of that and create the pipebomb. You have to be doing something right to get that kind of trust from vince, especially if he doesn’t really like you lmao
yeah and he was even champion for 434 days and Vince McMahon himself worked a program with him. like they were together doing promos in the ring, he even let punk emberass him in storyline etc. obviously Vince was 100% on board with all of this. clueless people talk about how vince didnt see anything in him or "punk wasnt a draw" etc. but if that is true, why would Vince do all of those things for him. if he really wasnt bringing in money, he would have him drop the belt to somebody else waaayy sooner - rather than letting him be a champ for 434 days and even let him defeat Superman John Cena and so on. he clearly saw him on equal level with Cena.
Vince and Punk actually had a good relationship. It was HHH who had issues with, especially after HHH booked them in a math together and went over, despite Punk being the hottest thing in wrestling
@@OrganMeats Punk and HHH patch things up earlier this year
Yeah there was no drama or bullshit with Punk before when he was in the WWE
So does Punk still have the old AEW belt? And if so...what are the odds he pulls a Medusa and throws it in the trash at Survivor Series?
Wouldn't be the first time a useless belt got thrown in the trash. Remember the 24/7 title?
doubt it. belts are now under the Intellectual properties. But say he had a belt shape object in a bag......he Tell off Cody this i something you never won and I only lost to politics.....and it's the spinner belt
Wendy Richter eh
@@Deadxman616 that was what I wasn't sure about. Does Tony own the IP of the belt. Moxley mentioned showing up at Summerslam with it when he wasn't under contract. Which made me wonder.
@@chrischar9428 oh, good catch. Medusa. My bad.
Impact wrestling as an option is some of the most delusional thinking ever. They're essentially an indie company now. Outside of closing down its the biggest fall of any company outside WCW.
But CM left WWE originally because they "treated him so badly," and he was working "deathly sick." Most people didnt have good things to say about him. Same as AEW..get it yet??
CM Punk to be the surprise 5th member of the babyface War Games team going against the heel team made up of Judgement Day and Bloodline at Survivor Series? Is Cena gonna be around long enough to make it to Survivor Series now that the writers strike is over?
my guess is if hes not able to do it then LA knight will. theyve postioned cena knight for knight to replace cena or for them to have a feud down th eline if cena can stay longer
I'd love Punk to cut a promo then at the end Triple H's music hits he comes out they have a face to face then Triple H offers his hand then after a while they shake hands.
The Corporate Punk era
The people Punk had issues with originally in WWE aren't calling the shots anymore by and large.
Punk going to WWE is the end of AEW. I doubt they'll find somebody that in a single debut, promo, and match, got the whole company over.
Imagine if WWE gets Punk and MJF, then does Punk v MJF 3 💀
Yeah, maybe WWE can have a new lowest PPV attendance record like AEW did when they wrestled before. A skinny fat old man vs. a midcard midget.
If CM punk returns to the WWE and do well I can see a lot of AEW talent looking to join.
I see this happening to edge as soon as he pisses off the bucks and omega.
Him returning to wwe? Or him quoting punk’s “I’m old, hurt, tired and I work with children!”
Can’t wait for it to happen
yup, no matter how many problems punk creates and how much he cries like a baby, his delusional fans will always root for him.
It’s the nerve of Elite or AEW fans in general getting mad that there’s a possibility of this happening for me. What’d you expect 😂
LIKE MUSSOLINI! Adrenaline in my soul!
I just want Punk back with a live mic and no script.
So you don't want him in WWE then.
I hope! 🔥
ew
I stopped watching WWE at the time when Punk was on top, I hated his guts and all those people cheering for him just too much. now after all that happened in AEW he is the most natural babyface, even to me. so many potential great opponents for him, I don't even want to think what he could do with Paul, Roman, Brock or Cody.
Why would WWE pair him on the level with one of their top guys? Who are they competing with to sign him? If they bring him in it will be to feed him to someone like Dom.
@@tepplerI doubt it. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up winning the Royal Rumble and facing Seth at Wrestlemania. CM Punk is too big of a name to job to Dom Mysterio.
@@teppler because Punk is a million times bigger star than Roman Reigns is. Punk was the one doing amazing program with the likes ofJohn Cena, The Undertaker, The Rock etc. he is insanely over, God on the Mic, Great in the Ring. and he got over and did all this On His Own. like every big star before him, Cena, Rock, Undertaker, Stone Cold, Hulk Hogan. none of them needed a Group, a Mouthpiece, or years of second chances that they kept failing and are still boring despite it *cough cough* so all the things Roman Reigns needed to be even remotely interesting *cough cough* . romans nothing without his group or heyman talking for him. how is that guy a star? Lmao. Punk and Cena didnt need Heyman to speak for them. and didnt need Flunkies or sitcom drama with their buddies. they were just stars On Their Own. cuz theyre That good. thats what Roman can never be. as we have seen that play out already. he sucks. all of the previous top guys are million times better than >>> Boreman Lames. they became actual stars without the need to Shove Them Down peoples throat for Years upon Years until the people realize theyll never push Actually naturally talented people or anything organic so they just accept it eventually. that didnt happen with real natural stars who didnt need all that shoving down peoples throats, like Stone Cold, Cena, Punk, The Rock.
@@DaggerPrincepunk literally said it himself. Hes the beat in the ring, best on the mic, best in commentary and its true.
People forget roman on the mic after punk left. He was goofy as hell. Punk would eat him alive on the mic.
@@churchjones1758 wwe doesnt need to CM Punk. So if they bring in a case like him, the only thing that makes sense is to feed him to one of their core guys that needs a big win. What is the down side to jobbing Punk out?
Rollins and nakamura had a great match at fastlane Jim's just hating on nakamura.
Punk will forever have JC as his biggest fan. Dude can take a crap in his food and it would be all good.
give him 2 years run in WWE, and it would be an ELITE television for us folks.
That's all he needs a good 2 year run.
One of the funniest things all ready about this is how the AEW fanboys are all mad and huffy over just hearing This rumor about punk. It's like why are they mad these people were celebrating when Punk was kicked out of the company and why donthey care so much? However it's pretty damn clear the AEW stans are mad because the one guy that actually made money for their precious company i's going to their competition and going to make them a ton of more money.
Punk vs Cody at Mania with Punk holding a grudge against Cody for creating a dream and leaving it and it became a nightmare.
It's going to be Punk and Rollins because they have legit heat. Punk is hated by both Rollins and Roman, so he won't be getting big title programs.
@@dolandarkxgrandayy6953 its going to be for the world heavyweight title highly doubt Seth and punk have legit heat anymore. Seth probably knew last year how aew was going for punk and was already click baiting everyone because that's what he does. It wouldn't shock me if they've already discussed the match. you gottta figure these guys probably have each others phone numbers. all punk ever did was put the spotlight on the two biggest guys in the company today.
Punk is back!! Can't wait for reaction
I hope MJF jumps over and they can properly resolve that feud
WWE has sucked since Benoit died. All you PG brain washed babies are just laughable.
I never imagined as a WCW fan that in 2023 I would be hoping that the competition's top wrestlers would go to the WWF/WWE. They are at least a competent company who put out a halfway-decent product, while the competition squanders opportunity after opportunity to do good business.
Punk will come back because he wouldn't want his legacy to end with what happened in AEW. WWE under Endeavour will want him because of ratings and PPV buy rates potential and that it will be a good boost under the new regime. WWE however will probably want him in order to stick it to AEW. Not because they think AEW is a threat its to stunt their growth so they or someone else wont become a threat. Its the same tactics they used when Ring of Honor started to get hot and then WWE used NXT to steal a bit of their thunder. However its to punish khan and the young bucks/elite for the open disrespect to WWE. The only promotion i know where the WWE didnt bother with was TNA/Impact but correct me if im wrong but i dont remember any WWE tactic to ruin them and Impact as a company never dissed WWE. As for the hypocrisy of punk going back...he's a punk and punks do whatever they feel like when they feel like it and never operated in the confines of society. Thats the whole point of what he is an outsider breaking in causing chaos then leaves.
Are you fully forgetting the VKM in TNA? Their whole schtick was taking shots at WWE
That's a gimmick not the promotion. AEW the promotion goes out of its way to antagonize WWE and several of the EVPs already had beef with the company which to be fair they didnt start but because they didnt back down and then flashed it to the WWe's face, thats why they more antagonistic towards AEW than impact.
The X belt has totally vanished too, I wonder if he’s holding onto that for a debut angle
Thanks Tony! This gives Punk a chance to repair his legacy after the AEW fiasco.
Come home Punk!!
i hope cm punk bring in AEW world championship with him in wwe
Meltzer loves mental gymnastics as much as he loves wrestling gymnastics.
The storyline of the locker room not being able to Trust Jey Uso, would've been good if Punk did return
Let’s gooo!
