The short time he had Collision, it was probably the best professional wrestling (key words) show on television. Imagine Punk's mentality and booking with the machine actually behind him.
Punk is looking out for both his future and the future of the business. That isn't a bad thing. Punk has a lot of knowledge he can pass on to the next generation of wrestling. We've already seen him be involved with several talents in NXT, from his working with Trick, Carmelo, and Lexis King to get back into ring shape, to his endorsements of his "daughters" Cora and Roxanne. He can teach people what was taught to him by minds like Paul Heyman.
If punk really wanted he doesn't have to work another day in his life, He's made a alot of money in his career not just from his time in the ring but also from stuff outside of wrestling, Punks wife Aj is also a millioner and so they are both are well financially, Of course it's nice to make alot of money but you can just tell how much punk loves wrestling and it's not just about money like Kevin Nash
I don’t see why not. Clearly a lot of the NXT stars love Punk and he cares about the new generation. Just goes to show how toxic and awful the AEW situation was. Too much ego for a secondary promotion
So once again, it's all AEW's fault and Punk bears no responsibility whatsoever. Can't say I'm surprised, knocking AEW 24/7 IS the IWC's favorite past-time after all. Pathetic, as always 🤦
The beauty of NXT is that it can extend careers of legends while passing on that knowledge. As guys start to slow down they can go to NXT where they only need to wrestle 10-12 times a year, not be doing house shows but still be a full time character. As well as that it's a good way to get guys off the road for a few months to give them family time when needed, they pop into NXT for a short period so have limited dates but don't go completely away
Honestly Punk being Shawn's successor sounds like it would be a fantastic idea. He feels like he could be a great locker room leader, and help get the most of the new guys.
It’s great to know that Punk is so happy in WWE that he wants to restructure his contract to do more! Who would had ever thought that would be a goal for Punk! Sometimes in life things like this happen! And well there it is and as long as he is happy and wwe is happy then that is great for everyone involved!
Im gutting myself at the PWG fetishists who are going "hope he didnt tear his triceps signing the contract" but say nothing about adam cole and keith lee
I can't think of anyone better qualified to teach young talent how to work a mic than CM Punk, not since Dusty was heading developmental has someone so good on the mic trained upcoming talent
@@chrisszyyy yep, him too, probably Bailey and Becky will be very much involved too. Also Natalya is destined to be a coach or an agent and I think Miz will one day transition into commentary.
I think anyone in a business where your time as talent is always going to be limited should always look forward to the what they can do when it is over. Be it a wrestler looking to commentary, training, production etc or a football star who looks to become a coach, commentator or other kind of personality (e.g. sports talk show host). Everyone should have some level of what happens next in mind but for some industries it is more immediate than others.
His "unceremoniously fired" promo to Vince is reason enough for me to think that CM Punk deserves a spot as talent relations or something of the sort when he's done with his in-ring career.
If you’d have asked me to put money on punk being back in WWE saying ‘I never want to leave’ I’d have told you to fk off. Don’t have money to lose. Yet here we are. It’s why I gamble.
@2:56 - OH BOY do they look green! But you make a great point, NXT is where they need to GROW. Basically an Indie televised program? Slap me around as you like but I think some of the Women on Raw and Smack down could learn a thing or two from the NXT women! IMO WWE women's division is SLOPPY for the most part. Some amazing wrestlers in there but it only takes a few to mess it all up.
@12:58 - So long as it isn't BookerT doing ANYTHING on commentary or announcing or anything with any kind of vocal piece attached I'm good. Amazing wrestler, zero doubt, but I just can't handle the man's voice on the job. I'm sure he speaks fine off the job and all that, never met the man, but ON the job? NOPE.
i think cm punk wants to prove tony khan n the bucks wrong by running nxt n beating aew…i think thats his future motive…but all is good n hopes all wrestling companies flourish n fans will benefit it all
It doesn't have anything to do with spite. He came to AEW wanting to teach and help younger wrestlers. Now he's under contract with WWE, wanting to teach and help younger wrestlers.
@@matteoatigui2411you can argue it, but I don’t know how many you’d be convincing, especially when the most over guy in the nxt doesn’t even work there.

He def has the mind to book a really good wrestling show
Too bad he fumbled it all over Jack Perry giving him a taste of his own medicine!
Meltzer and lying, name a more iconic duo
Peyton Royce and Billie Kay. (:
Hogan and jobbing
The fact we give Metzler any credence in 2024 confuses me

Sometimes I wonder if punk and hhh's beef comes from them actually being very similar
I could see CM Punk taking over NXT when Michaels retires in the distant future
He'll probably train and produce matches in the mean time. He has a lot of value as a match producer.
These videos are great, always appreciate your perspective

CM Punk and Cody Rhodes will be one day the next Shawn Michaels and Triple H.
It’s prolly gonna be Rollins. People keep praising his brilliant wrestling mind. Even Cody

Okada running nxt would be insane
His "unceremoniously fired" promo to Vince is reason enough for me to think that CM Punk deserves a spot as talent relations or something of the sort when he's done with his in-ring career.
Which promo
CM punk is going to run NXT and bring back Ryback to wrestle Colt Cabana
Bryan Danielson is running Collision. Could he potentially run RAW or Smackdown in 2027? Alongside HHH?
If you’d have asked me to put money on punk being back in WWE saying ‘I never want to leave’ I’d have told you to fk off. Don’t have money to lose. Yet here we are. It’s why I gamble.

Simon man, joined this channel because of the fitness and workout stuff. Is that coming back or has this become a wrestling channel now?
I think he was injured he should be good to go in relativly soon
He got the taste for it on AEW Collision so why not NXT?
Wild
wwe hire Simon he would be an awesome partner with r-truth lol
Ryback to be RAW GM in 2027 lol

Simon, do you believe in Joe Hendrey?
Cm punk the best in the world ❤❤
Shawn Michael's vs cm punk in 2029 for control of nxt is gonna be amazing
Love the constant upload schedule Simon!
Glad to hear Simon doesn’t have a taste for poo
Well all know Ryback is coming back to FEED US MORE great feuds 😃
CM Punk will do better than Shawn, Shawn just cares about big butts and looks regardless of lack of talent, whereas Punk actually cares about talent.
Punk is best for business. I could see him teaching promo classes in NXT
I think his ultimate goal is HHHs spot not just NXT
Cardona/Zach Rider
