Maybe he tries to throw hands at Karrion

Don’t wish that bad mojo on me.

Here it is. At this point someone is WWE was confident the deal would be reached.

SRS has reported the Shinsuke hints had nothing to do with Punk even post the return

It’d be hilarious to me

I mean, he’s clearly wrong here lol

Yeah the GTS one makes no sense to me. I saw some outlets saying it was Shin being given creative freedom or something along those lines and I call absolute bullshit on it.

And then if Nakamura doesn't fight him?

Facts. We know for a fact Punk went up at least once before that spot aired. That’s when the rumors came out they said no.

WWE is too produced to then let your talent do a gts on your tv unapproved.

Latest bit btw for context: "Regarding any references on TV or Shinsuke Nakamura, Punk was not planned to be brought in when those started. The angle could certainly be adjusted to include Punk, but it wasn't at the time. There aren't many people who know what Nakamura's current program is. "

Not a fan of the haircut but he does look more like he did when he first debuted in AEW. Which I think we can all generally agree was when he looked his healthiest

 

[Roy Mustang]

Plus tbf SRS has source in the Punk camp and has even had Punk as a source for stories before

 

[Smart Marx]

Card subject to change. WWE changed its mind a lot.

I don’t know what to tell you. If you want to believe Punk went up there and talked with WWE, and then Nak did a gts on WWE tv and then Punk went back to finalize the deal and then appeared on tv and it wasn’t intentional, that’s your take I guess.

 

[Jimmy King]

I love stuff like this.

I'm not believing for one second they weren't talking or had indications they could come to deal when that shit aired. There aint no way they run an angle where a guy does a GTS then goes on to do these mystery videos calling out someone knowing all the buzz it would create and they aren't even in talks about signing him.

 

[Cwalker]

That was a pretty shitty GTS

 

[Hoss]

Obviously their negotiations with Kenta fell through so they had to fall back on CM Punk.
