CM Punk coming back to WWE with Triple H in power is WILD! I think it was more possible with Vince at the helm than Triple H.
They did it right by announcing Orton as the 5th guy on Raw rather than letting the Chicago crowd hijack the show or the main event, or get disappointed when it wasn't their hometown hero.
There will be a lot of eyes on Raw tonight. Mine included, but I've watched wrestling that way with or without Punk.
And since people will mention it, what does this do for AEW? The guy who helped start the company (Rhodes) and the biggest blockbuster name signing in the company history (Punk) have both signed with WWE. They still have a solid roster, as does WWE.
But the locker room dysfunction would've destroyed AEW. It can't really destroy a multi-billion dollar conglomerate like the WWE. If anything, it'll make the company money and force talents to leave for other working environments. But WWE will live on, AEW had to move on.
What's next for Punk? I really hope his first feud isn't Seth Rollins, going straight for the World Heavyweight Title... I think the best direction is for Randy Orton to turn heel and RKO Punk for taking away his "moment" from being gone in the ring after 18 months. It'll catch people off guard and you know both guys can work solely off promos for 2 months until the Royal Rumble showdown.
