Reactionary To The Wrestling News of: CM Punk Returns to the WWE at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 by AverageMansReviews

Well where to begin: let's begin on a positive thank you WWE for guaranteeing whilst CM Punk is under contract; Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks: Matt & Nick Jackson won't be and possibly many others that were thinking of jumping the great divide that have a problem with Punk.

You've got to feel sorry for Randy Orton; I get why they needed and understand why they did it, but still when you have Orton that has been out for a massive amount of time and his return gets overshadowed by Punk; you have got to feel for him.

Let's get down to business shall we?; To be brutally honest I can only see problems with Punk returning in fact the rippling effects began on that night; in no particular order but I know these things happened, because I have even seen live footage or it has been reported/confirmed to a certain level; Finn Bálor mocks Punk to a fan by telling the fan to go and tweet about Punk, Seth Rollins looking dejected/infuriated by Punk's return in one video sitting on the ring steps with his WWE Heavyweight championships with a Cory Graves and Michael Cole next to him; giving off the impression basically this garbage isn't fun anymore and then Graves getting Rollins to apparently begin walking back up the ramp, but then it all kicked off with [picture] Rollins being absolutely furious and quite clearly giving punk the birds, then it kicked off backstage with Graves and Cole having to hold Rollins back with Punk looking confused and Triple H being there as well. I have learnt that; that this may have or could be Rollins, trying to get a match with Punk so I mean I have said it online/social media I acknowledge that even before I did some research that this may just be a work and I have been called a mark, because of it; yes because Punk is officially back in wrestling I now receive negative comments again, what a surprise and I don't care. All I said was something to the effect of you have to feel for Rollins, because outside of Reigns and mixing with him looking like this isn't fun anymore, you know the look of a wrestler that has been carrying a company regardless of the name for years and has earned everything, has been working injured and is more than likely a lifetime company guy, that at some point down the line is going to have to lie down for Punk; someone that years ago referred to Punk as cancer.

I am not buying into this drama, I do take it as face value [as in there is probably a little something here] until up-to-date information is available, but experienced fans would understand that this could be a shoot [real] or/and work [kayfabe] mixture because it could be a mixture of both everyone knows that because of this mixture element it has every potential to be a hit or be a complete disaster and potentially overshadow this massive occasion known as WrestleMania 40/2024 which if this does come true will be a massive mismanagement by Triple H [I know Nick Kahn was the one mainly working on bringing Punk back in Triple H had a little to do with it] and will be the first massive dent against him creatively. I should have said just for the record Punk is clearly going to win the Men's Royal Rumble Match and go on to face Rollins at this event for his WWE Heavyweight Championship in the main event on Night 1 [or because of this momentous occasion they could always stick Orton in and make it a triple threat for this championship or they could make it a fatal four way with Damian Priest cashing in his money in the bank opportunity.]

But slightly moving on it has been said that Drew McIntyre was absolutely fuming last Saturday where he was cursing, picked up his things and left the arena or something to that effect which I can completely understand why and this is purely based on speculation/opinion; you see for those young wrestling fans out there; when you have wrestlers that are working their posterior off night in and night out and then you have someone like Punk coming in and let's be completely transparent here, he has been given lots of money on a multi-year deal and he will go straight into the main event, yes if there are some people wondering about Orton it is very different from him, because he is a WWE guy and it was injuries that put him on the shelf, so if he was able to he would be putting foot to posterior, so there is no animosity towards him directly. But I don't know McIntyre and I will say this again this is completely speculation/opinion he was okay with Orton comeback, but it must have been a slap in the face with a wet fish when he found out about Punk, because potentially his name goes down the pecking order; so consequently I really don't see McIntyre signing a new contract with the WWE now, don't get me wrong, I don't know him personally, but he doesn't seem to be driven by money, obviously it helps getting paid lots of money, but of what I have heard he seems more like a wrestling guy as in am I wrestling and why would my character do that? Those kinds of important details, but let me be the first to offer him an opportunity; if he doesn't feel comfortable at the WWE I know another wrestling promotion in Florida that would be more than delighted to have his signature a little place called All Elite Wrestling.

Inadvertently and I know AEW wouldn't think like this and even if they did they shouldn't, they should be just carrying on and not talking about it on social media yes Tony Kahn I am looking at you. But it has to be said inadvertently this could really galvanise AEW from the perspective of everything generally speaking seemed to be going smoothly for the WWE, everything was pointing in the right direction backstage morale was steady it was just a big machine doing what a big machine does without a spanner in the works, I know Punk is a draw you have to wonder why they would risk upsetting everything just to bring in someone that could be not only a spanner but active dynamite which could go off at any time for any reason, personally I wouldn't risk it as the morale is now it wouldn’t be a lie if I said mixed

Additional: it has now been confirmed it was a work; but I have left it in on the grounds of if it becomes that mixture which they discussed earlier, Because they do have a mixed history where, Rollins has said nice things about Punk and let's give Punk the benefit of the doubt at some point you must have said something nice about Rollins, it just depends if they want to excessively lean into the work/shoot angle so you run the risk of it becoming real.
