It'd get a huge pop. Even if he didn't wrestle, he should be someones manager or the voice of a heel stable. He's so damn good on the mic. At this point, I'd rather hear him cut promos than wrestle. |

Lots of talk about Punk to AEW from some pretty reputable sources now.

If he shows up at All Out, I'll lose my voice.
The idea of Punk & Bryan showing up in September is incredible. I'd be really interested to see what the viewer bump would be.

On the one hand, if Punk did come to AEW, it would be a humongous deal, so I'd pop even though I've never really been a big CM Punk guy. On a personal level, I'd be far more excited to get his wife back into wrestling with AEW than him. SRS usually doesn't post BS, so there's likely something to this.

Punk is in my all time top three and the moment itself would be big but I have no interest in seeing him wrestle after over seven years on the shelf. And if I did it would be a match or two in WWE, not AEW.

I'm the total opposite lol If he returned to Connecticut, I'd probably watch the clip of fans popping at his return and leave it at that. For me he'd still be retired... |

The amount of money they'd have to pay him to go back there would render his entire character and gimmick moot. |

Considering it might involve Punk and I am a fan of him, it does have some relevance to me. Feels like the same two people rush to comment on anything said about AEW that isn’t automatically praise. Cool, you love the company. I only sort of like it. Doesn’t mean I can’t express stuff with in it that I’m not a fan of like Cody, or Punk or Bryan possibly signing. I hope neither sign but if they do, cool for the people super into the product. I had the same reaction when people I like left WWF for WCW. |

I suppose it would have relevance then though in a way, my bad. Kinda like Warrior trying to comeback in '96. Anyone who was a Warrior fan in the early 90's was mortified at that disaster. Not that Punk is Warrior, Punk can actually wrestle. But if it's not the Punk you remember I get why reading how I wrote, but you totally misunderstood me. Given Punk's whole anti-establishment type gimmick, and knowing he's only going back to WWE for a pile of money means he couldn't really do that gimmick authentically, which is what made him special. I.e. you don't want to see punk wrestle, he wouldn't be going back to the place where you want to see him wrestle = no relevance. After remembering the Warrior's train wreck of a comeback, I've thought better that it would have relevance. |

I don't think so. It'd be awesome to have Danielson & Punk in AEW, but realistically WWE has a 40 year head start on AEW. When non-wrestling fans hear anything about wrestling, WWF comes to mind. It'd take someone like John Cena and/or Rock "The Dwayne" Johnson to really close the gap. My guess for AEW ratings with Punk & Danielson would put them above Raw, but still below SmackDown. The real shift in power would be if AEW received higher tv contracts then WWE. |
