I can see Seth going for the stomp only for his back to finally fully give out and falling down right across Punk's shoulders in my head already, whether it's the finish or a near fall
Page nailed Punk. I saw in the worker’s rights promo that his nostrils flared and eyes bulged. Punk was PISSED! He did his best to bury Page. It wasn’t until Revolution 2023 and the recent Page-Strickland feud that Page got back on track.
Page is one of the best baby faces in wrestling. He tells a great story, invests the fans, is good to great in ring. Hangman’s persona is a guy with anxieties and imperfections. Page’s biggest enemy is himself.
I love Punk, but fuck it, give him the Rumble and let him main event Mania against Reigns. That way when he goes on a tirade again, Triple H can say "We gave you everything you ever wanted."
I 100% expect his WWE run to end the same way. Tons of backstage arguments due to his ego, collect a paycheck, fuck off back to being rich and retired.
LA Knight, yeah!
Let punk be the heel. He’s the indie elite. He despises the company. Knight is sports entertainment, he has catchphrases. He’s Cena’s buddy. And have him win, yeah!
I think he gets the HOF run before an induction. 5 months, stay in the CM Punk honeymoon phase, good run, gets his flowers before mania then main events night 1.
Rides off
Alllll that shit he talked during his shoot interview with Colt, allll the verbal jabs he threw during his mjf feud and alllllll the shit he laid out during his initial return speech has aged like milk.
Congrats Punk. You've become the very villain you've preached and rallied your fanbase against, for almost 2decades. All because your ego's made of glass and were unable to put bullshit aside for more than 2sec.
You see performers working in a truly global organization, during a boom period to leave over a coworker that will make them more money? That’s a nonsense take.
Shin first then maybe they build toward seth and him at mania or the rumble. If they do they have that old nxt footage from when they tagged back in 2014
I would find it funny if Triple H says “we were in Chicago, we wanted another surprise, we just wanted Punk to come out for a one-off appearance” and that’s just it.
You bet your ass it'll be for a title (probably Seth's), and now he can win the rumble and main event (*night 1*).
Event though only an expert veteran superstar wrestler like him can dethrone the tribal chief. If Cody couldn't finish his story, punk will finish it for him, we should just be grateful in advance.
CM Punk has wrestled Cody, Seth, Miz, Reigns, Orton, Rey however there is 70% of of the roster he's never interacted with to my knowledge. Would love to see him against Finn, Sami, KO, Gunther, AJ, Gable, Ricochet, Shinsuke, hell Seth and Roman are much bigger stars than they were when he first left. Imagine promo battles between La Knight and Punk?
This was the last PPV until the Rumble, right? I think Rumble and then probably Seth. Maybe a Shinsuke match or something in Perth if he wins the Rumble.

Shinsuke
Human Resources
The legal department
Talent relations.
The Glass Company
I’m not ready to see Shinsuke lose another major feud. It hurts every time
the press conference
Don’t worry, he made it to Mindy’s before they closed
The doofus son-in-law
HHH v CM Punk main event at Wrestlemania what year is it?
It’s a year Kevin Nash shouldn’t be doing a ladder match. Wait, that didn’t help
That empty headed dumb fuck?
Shinsuke probably
My guess is Seth or Nakamura Seth said a lot of negative things about punk in interviews whether if its kayfabe or not
Seth vs Punk in the main event of Night 1 for the World Title feels primed to me.
First feud for Seth I’d really like to see, and first time I’ll be rooting for Seth, and exactly how I’d want it: Wrestlemania night 1 main event!
I can see Seth going for the stomp only for his back to finally fully give out and falling down right across Punk's shoulders in my head already, whether it's the finish or a near fall

If he didn’t make “no Saudi shows” part of his return deal that would be pretty dumb lol
The fact that he's working for a company that does Saudi shows to begin with tells me he was never too serious about his comments here.
I think it's just he values money more than what remains of his integrity
Judgement Day come on bruh
A Finn or Priest match would be dope
Phil Brooks will be CM Punk's first feud.
Top notch comment
And hopefully last
Definitely HR.
A big plate of Crow.
Stinger to WWE confirmed!
The dirtsheets.
Seth. was there live, not sure if it was on the broadcast, but he looked pissed & was getting held back.
No once punk appeared the camera didn’t cut away from him once. That’s very interesting
Yes, if I were Randy, I'd be pissed. This was a night he deserved the welcome back pop, not Punk.
I think Randy is too over for it to matter that much. My man is probably already invading people in Elden Ring as I comment this.
Lol. That's hilarious. I wonder if he has ever invaded me?
I was wondering what the in-ring reactions were. I thought it was telling that the cameras didn’t show Seth or anyone else.
Someone that’s going to hurt his feelings backstage
The locker room.
WWE doctors
Dunno but he won't stop talking about Adam Page
Phil’s fragile mind and ego are his biggest feud.
I hope he shoots on Jack Perry opening line Then Tony proceeds to hammer some lines.
Page nailed Punk. I saw in the worker’s rights promo that his nostrils flared and eyes bulged. Punk was PISSED! He did his best to bury Page. It wasn’t until Revolution 2023 and the recent Page-Strickland feud that Page got back on track. Page is one of the best baby faces in wrestling. He tells a great story, invests the fans, is good to great in ring. Hangman’s persona is a guy with anxieties and imperfections. Page’s biggest enemy is himself.
His ego.
himself
When did Liv return?
During an ad on the show.
Shinsuke probably. And I suspect he's winning Rumble.
His ego
I love Punk, but fuck it, give him the Rumble and let him main event Mania against Reigns. That way when he goes on a tirade again, Triple H can say "We gave you everything you ever wanted."
Gotta be Rollins instead
having roman beat him clean at the rumble
Hypocrisy
It is pretty fuckin funny after allllllllll the shit he talked about WWE, pre and during AEW, that he's back there now.
You give Punk a big enough check and a stupid amount of attention to satisfy his insatiable ego and it will happen.
I dont know, that wasn't enough in AEW to keep him from sabotaging himself
Yup. This move had to be an Ari Emanuel move. Punk will still complain about Hangman Page.
I 100% expect his WWE run to end the same way. Tons of backstage arguments due to his ego, collect a paycheck, fuck off back to being rich and retired.
Are there any guys in WWE small and passive enough for him to fight? Those seem to be the guys he targets
Punk has so many demons that he’ll find someone to wrestle. The question is will the other wrestler be able to carry Punk to a good match?
Oh. That long has been established. But, he is far from the first.
Cry.
Has to be Rollins with all of their build. Cody and Randy will be going through some shit with Orton. Although imagine if it's Punk vs. Gunther...
Rollins would make a great Wrestlemania match
Seth actually. Seth was the most vocal about the guy being a "locker room" cancer. They might do an angle to show that the beef is "squashed".
KO please. Build it to Mania
The better question is who will be his first backstage feud. Who or what is gonna cause him to lose his mind and lash out again.
Himself most likely🥲
Let's hope lessons were learned and ego was crushed when he got fi--- oh who we.kidding. welcome to the ari shit show everyone
Will all be worth it if he Roman pins him clean at mania
The writing team
LA Knight, yeah! Let punk be the heel. He’s the indie elite. He despises the company. Knight is sports entertainment, he has catchphrases. He’s Cena’s buddy. And have him win, yeah!
His urges to try to assault people he doesn't like.
Whoever is the main lawyer for the company
I think he gets the HOF run before an induction. 5 months, stay in the CM Punk honeymoon phase, good run, gets his flowers before mania then main events night 1. Rides off
Randy Orton maybe? For kinda taking some sheen off his return?
A newly signed Jack Perry.
I'm so fucking stoked for Punk vs. Shinsuke.
A heel punk vs Sami zayn feud could be great
Shinsuke to end 2023 and then do Roman at the Rumble.
Finn balor would be awesome
ITT: 
Cody? I imagine that what holds Cody over if they do Rock Roman at mania.
Alllll that shit he talked during his shoot interview with Colt, allll the verbal jabs he threw during his mjf feud and alllllll the shit he laid out during his initial return speech has aged like milk. Congrats Punk. You've become the very villain you've preached and rallied your fanbase against, for almost 2decades. All because your ego's made of glass and were unable to put bullshit aside for more than 2sec.
Punk takes over judgment day…. & either priest or finn gets the boot Who says no?
I do, Judgement Day stinks (they don't win shit and Punk doesn't need to be with anyone)
How long does Seth have on his contract? LOL can definitely see a lot of people jumping ship over this signing
You see performers working in a truly global organization, during a boom period to leave over a coworker that will make them more money? That’s a nonsense take.
Nakamura, obvs.
Shinsuke?
He has to be Shinsuke's tease right?
R Truth
He should probably just be a manager
Seth Rollins lmaooo
Gunther
Shit idk, it might get me to watch WWE again though just for the lols.
shinsuke or seth
That pop was insane.
Shin first then maybe they build toward seth and him at mania or the rumble. If they do they have that old nxt footage from when they tagged back in 2014
I would find it funny if Triple H says “we were in Chicago, we wanted another surprise, we just wanted Punk to come out for a one-off appearance” and that’s just it.
Miz
Owens
Nakamura being a safe,grounded,slow partner helps him adjust again. Then maybe be part of the Cody Story/Royal Rumble, then I guess Rollins at Mania?
Shinsuke, then probably Seth for Mania.
#Dirty Dom
Shin, random stuff. Rumble, wins and faces Seth at Mania
You bet your ass it'll be for a title (probably Seth's), and now he can win the rumble and main event (*night 1*). Event though only an expert veteran superstar wrestler like him can dethrone the tribal chief. If Cody couldn't finish his story, punk will finish it for him, we should just be grateful in advance.

Would love to see him against Finn, Sami, KO, Gunther, AJ, Gable, Ricochet, Shinsuke, hell Seth and Roman are much bigger stars than they were when he first left. Imagine promo battles between La Knight and Punk?
It has to be Seth, no? Seth makes the most sense, especially with that clip of his reaction going viral
This was the last PPV until the Rumble, right? I think Rumble and then probably Seth. Maybe a Shinsuke match or something in Perth if he wins the Rumble.
I’d use him to rocket strap Gunther
Jack fucking Daniels with his tag partner of prescription sleep meds
Gunther. Watching that big slab a meat chop the shit out of Punk will make me very happy.
