Bigger WWE news story of 2023: WWE/UFC or CM Punk return?

[The Rick Jericho]

Here are basically the two biggest stories in WWE this year. Listening to all the recap shows on the various podcasts, some have said CM Punk is the bigger story.

Which story here is the bigger one to you?

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

I think long term the merger is a bigger story because its going to matter for a very long time. also Vince selling his company to a friend in a bid to keep power only to be told to f*** off back home with his shinebox is the height of comedy.

The merger and it’s not even close. CM Punk is a footnote compared to the future implications of the sale and Vince selling it out of his family.

Dude ascended to Bitchhalla with that move.

Both big stories, but in different ways. IMO, the WWE/UFC merger story is bigger because it was the more mainstream story.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

The merger is one of the biggest stories in decades. And I get that Punk returning to WWE in particular is a story but given he already returned to wrestling two years ago, I feel like that just doesn't feel as big as it should for me.

The merger and it aint even close.

[Celgress]

WWE and UFC merger, IMHO

[Cranjis McBasketball]

Unless Punk says something like “the contract does read Endeavor but it reads CM Endeavor!!!!”

Yeah, it’s the merger and it’s not even a choice.

there is no way on earth that Punchy McMuffinface returning to wwe is a bigger story than vince the sleazebag forcing his way back into power, selling the company from under his family's noses and then potentially being removed from power by the new owners.

punk returning is so far behind the sale of a company that many expected to be in the mcmahon family until the company went bankrupt that it's laughable to suggest they're on a par as news stories.

Yeah it's the merger. No question. This changes the entire wrestling landscape dating back decades.

YEah, Vince getting ousted by the company, weaseling his way back, and selling the company is way bigger with a way bigger future implications than anything Punk will or won't do.

One is like legitimate World News, and the other is a small blip on the entertainment pages...

[Push R Truth]

This thread was a joke... right?



Right?

Bigger in terms of what..? For me, for the traction and talk it’s gotten, Punk.

[ChitownKnight]

2 years in a row, Punk does some insane shit and still gets overshadowed by Vince lol

Go back to the original pipebomb.
