Yeah, I don't care either. Way too much will he, won't he for me to care anymore. Either come back or don't Punk, I don't give a shit anymore :lol

Now, AJ on the other hand... I'd love if she came back even though it's not likely.

I'll believe it when I see it, personally.

Whilst I still read news on the daily, and the odd clips, I haven't properly watched WWE in 3 years (did watch RAW for the first time since April 2018 this week, however - shocker), nor AEW in about a year - so I wouldn't have a clue where he'd fit. I doubt he'd return to the 'E unless presented with promises on a contract (which is gonna be a no-no for them), as well as a massive payday. Aside from Roman or Lashley (I'll give WWE credit there - the Roman 'Head of the Table' gimmick with Heyman has been amazing of what I've checked out/seen, and Lashley has been handled how he should've been handled for years), there's no one I really want to see him face.

AEW on the otherhand just has enough talent as it is. Then again, I'm not a CM Punk fan - so, I'm pretty bias. In all honesty, he's on Bret levels for me - so, thanks, but no thanks. If he returns, I'll probably check the clip, but that's about it for me, brother. However, if he brings in more viewers, more buys, and so on - then I cannot argue that it'd certainly be a good acquisition for them. Certainly would attract more eyeballs, even for the short term (then working to retain those viewers).

If he returns, will he be using his gimmick he used in UFC? Where he got beat by jobbers who rarely got TV time?

Fuck it, let's get it. All Out is an obvious play, but maybe he appears on the debut Rampage?

If it's a done deal and they don't debut him in Chicago then Ima have to fire some mean tweets towards Tony Khan's direction :lol All Out in Chicago btw, I think the Dynamite either before and after it is too so that could be a possibility

He's adamant that Rampage won't be seen as a B show (I don't think I believe him), so that would go a long way to plug it

The same source is reporting "something else major that's even more interesting ".
My guess is All In gonna be a multi promotion supershow
