This is a long thread but I finally got through it lol.
I bought ufc 203 just to see how punk would fare. I never got the chance to see him in wwe (ok that's kind of a lie. I turned smackdown on years ago after a lil break and there was this straight edge guy.. turned it off right away lol) but having been watching WWE for over a year at this point (Sept 2016) and hearing cm punk name alot I was like wow this will be interesting. Needless to say it was over before it began lol. And because of him I got re-interested in ufc for the first time in a decade.
Even though he got smashed in his past fight, that would not affect his impact if he returned to wwe. Even though it's highly unlikely, never say never. I would probably be a fan of his if this happened. The most ideal return would be a show in chicago, obviously. And the pop would be huge. Massive. It would be a huge pop anywhere though I'm sure. Like someone stated, you still hear cm punk chants all the time. Hell back in 2016 i went to the roadblock network special in Toronto and there was even a loud cm punk chant there. It was friggin random, but I even joined in lol
