Punk was awful for the last few years, and AJ was never good. So please no to both of them

Punk was best under his straight edge cult run and AJ was her best with Daniel Bryan. Everything after that point was sloppy. They both had good moments but they didn't remain consistently good. Not entirely their faults, we all know how booking and writing goes with the WWE.

I do, however, blame Punk for ruining Nexus.

Well after that, Punk just became complacent and jaded, so he just stopped giving a fuck about the quality of his work, and it showed. And I never really thought AJ was as talented in the ring (or as hot) as everyone put her out to be. I really thought her only redeeming quality was her character work, but other than that, she was my typical "Diva piss break" every week she wrestled

I was a fan of Punk, never of AJ. I didn't really pay much attention to AJ when she was not part of the whole Daniel Bryan "Yes!" run. But being that I was a fan of Punk, I noticed it as well. He stopped caring as much. He got lippy. He even started gaining weight. You can tell when a wrestler isn't happy to be in the WWE. Del Rio is another good example of this. No matter what they say and do in the ring, you just know they don't want to be there.

Yeah that graphic of Punk is old. I can't place what poster it was on but I know I've seen it before.

Someone screwed up at Hulu. Which I'd imagine working at Hulu mostly consists of complaining nobody uses you over Netflix.

Well yeah the logo is new but that face, I have seen them use it years ago. I think they messed up and used the wrong poster i.e. of Punk.

While I do agree that it was a mistake, I don't think your sole reason for dismissing this should be that they used an old picture. Remember when they were advertising an Undertaker appearance and used a picture from around 2007-2009? Them using outdated pictures for advertisements isn't a rare thing.

Can his wife come back though? I've heard she is awesome...

She was decent in a batch of terrible performers.
If you eat 10 apples and 9 of them taste absolutely horrible, but one was good, does that make the one apple awesome? Or does it just mean it's good?

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
If Maria decided to leave WWE and there's no one to latch on to, does Mike still have a job?

Hulu addressed the issue and outed WWE at fault thus I declared it WWE trolling Punk, the fans, or both. That, or someone got severely future endeavored by Vince himself. lol

If several Roman Reigns fans cheer in a forest of boos...does anyone hear them?

So basically A.J Lee looked awesome at the time...but you don't think she'd look as
good against the current crop of WWE ladies?

The rumor going around is that the WWE has already soured on Maria & Mike...
and they may-be sent down to NXT...or even released.

Again...that is just a rumor...

Royal Rumble 2015 is the only proof I need to answer yes to the question fam.

Absolutely. And not only that, but I'll even say she won't look as good against the "developmental" girls either. Nikki Cross does AJ's gimmick 100 times better than she does. And Asuka who's core gimmick isn't even crazy does AJ's gimmick better than her. AJ's strongest quality was her character work and compared to the women today, AJ's got nothing.
And about her ring work, she was just decent. Again, even the people in NXT are far above her.

A lot of people tend to overrate AJ because she was in a group of terrible people. She was relatively awesome, but that shouldn't and doesn't mean she was actually awesome. I mean, you could put almost anyone in there with Rosa Mendes, The Bella Twins, etc and they would look great.

A Big Fish In A Small Pond so to speak...

Fair enough...I completely missed A.J so I honestly have no idea...
I just thought it would be a great overall "boost" for the entire division.

Cm punk returning would be best for business. But I don't think he ever will. He is way too stubborn on his morals and he doesn't really give a shit about what his fans want in comparison to what he wants

You know as much as the fans troll Stephanie with the CM Punk chats (which I have always supported), WWE should troll back a bit too.
