His return to wrestling speech was more real when he did it in AEW. This dragged in front of a crowd that didn't seem to care. Towards the end he even had to mention "NASHVILLE" to get the cheap pop.
This is why he should have been on first.

I wonder if Punk will be there every week?
If so, where do we go from here?

I assume he'll be in the Rumble match, so between now and then they'll probably continue to tease Seth/Punk since thats clearly the path they're heading to for Mania.

Felt like a read the room promo. Like let’s see how a crowd that isn’t Chicago reacts.

That was a bit underwhelming.
Doesn't help that this is like the 3rd or 4th time he's made this similar promo since 2021.
Rampage debut 2021 Return from injury 2022 Collision debut 2023 WWE Raw return 2023
Loved the AJ reference. Very excited to see who he faces 1st. I'd say probably Finn Balor

I'm sure the 3rd hour will have a higher rating than they normally get, but I'm not sure it will have a bigger number than the 2nd hour. People just don't seem to stick around for the "main event" no matter what it is. I would have put Punk on at 10pm to maximize audience retention. Plus, it was late and the crowd seemed like they wanted to go home.

Honestly hilarious that the one time when everybody wanted Punk to go scorched earth, he acts like he never spent time in any other company.

Starting to wonder if some legal documents were signed saying that Punk and Tony can’t discuss anything about AEW post AEW.

I thought about it for a few minutes after they went off air and two things. 1. They should have let him talk a little longer. They have a few minute run over so why not use it? 2. Ignoring AEW probably bothers the other guys (AEW) more than him going scorched earth on em, if that makes sense? Also could be legal ramifications if he talked about them maybe?

This is fake, right? Like, I’m asleep? I’m in a dream? Did the world end and I’m in the afterlife? What the is going on? Why is CM Punk back in WWE?

Punk coming out and 'scorching' AEW would be a definite step down and we know how low he can get but even then it would be the lowest of lows!
Punk/AJ vs Rollins/Lynch is def. happening.

There will be a time and place for the digs, shots and fiery promos. Once the threat of legal issues aren't overhead I'm sure we'll hear it all. Maybe in the ring, maybe on a podcast but this is pretty standard for big returns. 5-10 minute promo and then in a month or two he'll have his first match. Could be sooner. I'm stoked. Idc. They gotta build it up first. Plus if the other side makes pop shots first then he's there and ready to go on a mic so there's a threat on both sides.

It’s not the greatest promo but that’s ok because he’s not a big fish in a little pond anymore. Wwe has done a great drop making top tier talents. It wouldn’t even feel right him standing out above the others.
