I think what really sold me on this as being pretty serious and Punk burning too many bridges was Joe's tweet about friendships. Like, Joe and Punk have been through thick and thin for over 20 years.
If you lose Samoa Joe, you lose America.

If you lose Samoa Joe, you lose America. And not even after shit happened, but midway through their feud. That's how bad the vibes were. |

You know what else I find funny about this? When Punk came back, he mentioned during his first promo that the Voice of the Voiceless was a thing of the past cause there was no reason for him to be that anymore, just for him to go back to that schtick a year later.

How funny would it have been if Tony Khan actually kicked Punk's ass? Like I'm imagining Punk putting his hands on Tony and Tony giving him a GTS. "Rare footage of Tony actually angry." |

As someone who loves AEW I don't see this as anything but a huge win for them and for Tony Khan.
Yes it should have happened a year ago, but let's just enjoy the fact it's happened at all. Punk got what he deserved. Punk has thrown away a probable job for life and millions and millions of dollars because he's a bully and he got his comeuppance. This is a positive ending to all this.
The cloud that has been over the company for a year, for longer than a year really, can finally start to lift and Tony Khan has claimed back a bit of respect in my opinion.

WWE aren't risking upsetting Roman, Seth, KO, Sammi, Miz, AJ, Cody etc to bring back Punk, I'm not sure why so many Punk fans think he will be welcomed back with open arms. WWE doesn't need the drama that Punk brings I genuinely don’t think Miz would give a shit, because he’s like that, but I strongly suspect there’s a couple guys there who would smack the Pepsi outta Phil’s mouth if he even looked at Miz funny. |

Since Wembley is publicly owned, someone in the UK can file an Freedom of Information request and get the outstanding video. Surprised no one has done that yet CM Punk was also publicly owned on Collision last night by Tony Khan. |

then when WWE DID give RVD the ball a few years later, he almost immediately proved Trips right by driving high as a kite. "Hey Chief, we got a hot tip from an anonymous Paul L. that a Mr. Szatkowski is driving toward Cincinnati with some pretty heavy ganja." "Let's roll.." |

The way you engage with this company is really concerning. it's not healthy to be this doomposter invested in something. I really hope you can take a step back at some point or maybe find something that doesn't seem so misery inducing as AEW does. Doesn't matter at this point. I have to accept I cannot escape the things I hate. Check NFK to do pre-season football? Nope WWE licensed belts Watch sports on ESPN? Nope WWE all over the place f*** when I played Fortnite with my young nephew, you guessed it WWE skins It has permeated everything. I don't use Twitter, I barely use this forum because most people have blocked me yet it's going to be f***ing front-page news when Punk faces Roman at WM and every single solitary person takes a victory lap around AEW. Was I so wrong that I wanted someone else besides Vince and friends to win, f***ing once? Just once. No, instead I get backstage bullshit over and over and over because I can't have nice things ever. As for doomposting; Punks gone. This thread logically should be locked but nope, It's gonna whiz past 1000+ all so people can continue to kick AEW while it's down. Dude, what? Nobody's kicking AEW here. If anything, most of us think it's going to get better without the shadow of Berserker Phil hanging overtop of it. |

You know, with Mox taking the ME spot and Danielson taking the Starks match spot this All Out, and all the stuff Mox has done to cover Glass Phil's issues since he came to AEW, the BCC should rename themselves the Brooks Cleanup Crew. Mox deserves a medal for everything he's done for AEW. Replying from like ten pages back, but it really can't be overstated how much Mox deserves. If anyone is the "heart and soul of AEW" (Elite aside, of course), it's him. |

I could see Roman being willing to do business but I don't think anybody in that list would be willing to put him over. Seth would likely not want to share the ring with him, AJ's outright stated he won't, Cody might be willing to work with him, but I think WWE recognizes him as without a doubt a bigger deal than Punk (considering he was someone over enough to help start the movement that led to the first actual competition WWE's had in decades), Sami and KO may did their heels in but it's possible. Basically he'd be a guy consistently booke near the top of the card but never winning when it matters. |
