And a big thank you to Mr Tony Khan and the elite for being able to help mend one of the most badly burned bridges in wwe history
We should be thanking Jungle Jackass, as well!
Yep this was a direct F You to them tools. He hates those babies so much he went back to wwe just to screw them over. Lmfao. Punk is all time !!
Jungle Boy also
That Triple H and CM Punk photo doesn't seem real lol
@@sarjeshkhadgi2841 It almost seems like it's AI generated, but honestly with Triple H's comments on the media scrum after the event, does seem like they're willing to bury the hatchet and work together and make some money.
Jim Cornette Said Fuck It We Dropping this today 😂😂
On god he ain’t waste no time
Hahahah finally not a week late lol
True
Corny knows what the people want
When “Christmas came early” comes from Jim, it’s a lovely day
Happy to see Triple H was not "afraid for his life", didn't hold old grudges, and now is ready to do big business. Pro wrestling needs more promoters with this kind of mindset.
I've always hated Triple H and the 'manner' he used to get to the top, but I gotta give him props for not being afraid to do what's best for business.
Lmaooo He really said afraid for his life ??? Cus if he did imma just say this what a pus*y
if tony khan was afraid for his life of some guy that gets beat by beginners in UFC, then how weak is tony?
@@sjdrifter72 Never understood this. The point of being a pro wrestler is to make the most money you can. You should be selfish
I was never much of a Triple H fan but man, time and time again this guy has proven that - unlike Vince - he really does care about wrestling.
Imagine running a company so badly that you somehow manage to get Punk and WWE to mend their relationship? Great work Tony.
Thanks guys
@@Josh-dy4lqThis could be a Trojan Horse moment, given that Punk has so badly and consistently fucked up everything he's been a part of over the last, what, 10 years?
Thanks guys 😂😂😂😂
He's doing great, just him at his press scrum
@@Josh-dy4lq that's the best LOL
punk looked younger last night than his entire time in Aew
😂🤣😂🤣 its true
He's a lot less stressed from not having to work with children anymore 🤣🤣
No tf he didnt lmao. His hair AND beard are fully grey now. Y'all just say anything on here 😂
Probably WWE's makeup department.
Lighting is a hell of a thing
Who wouldve thought that it would be Tony Khan to repair the relationship with Punk & WWE. Amazing
Triple H doesn't have to do a damn thing does he? Tony Khan just hands him everything on a platter. Just MJF now and that'll be that. On the plus side, Tony will be able to devote more time to GM Mode in EWR, and The Ballet Club will be back trampolining in a backyard fed near you in no time. So, every cloud and all that...
What’s crazy is tony is one of the biggest mark so imagine childhood tony seeing punk back in wwe. Then he realized he had it but kept colt cabana and the elite instead💀
Punk will wreck it again in no time. Bleedat.
@@exidy-ytLOL 🫵🏽🤣
@@exidy-ytit looks like these people didn’t saw how bad he wrestled in AEW. 🤷♂️
As Punk said over a decade ago, the reason he and Triple H often clashed is that in a lot of ways, they're actually quite similar. Two years around the Elite has made him realise that somebody you don't like who at least respects the business is the far lesser of two evils. 😂
💯 this! Punk’s in better hands now, especially with Vince no longer running things.
100%. After being in AEW Punk realised WWE wasn't so bad after all. Better the devil you know and all that.
No

The way triple h negotiated this and kept a lid on it until the moment it happened needs to be taught/studied in business school. It really was a masterstroke and proof positive that the guy is worthy of his position in the business.
I think HHH deserves a lot of credit for everything he has done, but he also deserves blame on stale title reigns, not enough new stars being made. This decision was not nearly as difficult as it sounds. The fact that they brought Cody back, even though the circumstances are different, tells you this was a possibility right from the start. If he fell flat in AEW they wouldn’t resign. But he is still a draw and it’s about $$$$. Plus this gives them an opportunity to bring back AJ Lee, maybe injecting something into the women’s division it needs. Rhea is way overdone, and the women’s division itself is just meh right now.
I mean... literally every single person attending and watching expected this. So... they can say "WOW it was SO tight-lipped, real down low, can't believe it," and maybe it WAS super cut close and not even happening "til it happened," but everyone there was prepared to see him.
Once he left aew and the not good for business right now we knew he was coming back.
Meanwhile Tony has big wrestlers he's interested already wrestling on his show with a contract or appearing in the crowd. Totally kills the hype. He's clueless.
Notice how he didn't get on social media and tweet endlessly about it.
Khan should take notes. 🤦
Tony dropped the ball on Cody AND Punk. even Dixie managed to keep Kurt Angle for a decade. the man is a generational fumbler.
The sad thing is they own a football team in america
@@joenelsaracho4836Dear God😢.
@@joenelsaracho4836in England as well. Different type of football, but still and all...
@@curtisclayton8023 bro there is a joke thay tony khan fumbles the ball everytime they own the jaguars right an american football
American football = fumbles so yeah
Mr. Coke also let Jade Cargill leave and messed up a built-in story with Pillman Jr.
Cody Rhodes leaving started a lot of AEW's downfall. The one voice of reason left, and now we're seeing what AEW really is, amateur night.
Admit it. One of the reasons we were happy is because we could hear Cornette sing "Cult of Meat with Extra Cheese" again. That aside, HHH and Punk smiling together in a photo is a constant reminder of how poor Tony Khan's leadership is, man made Punk reconsider WWE.
Like Mussolini!!!!!!!!
Like Mussolini!!!!!!!!!
Like Joseph Stalin!…. and….SethRollins!!
Like Herb Abrams and Tony Khan
All wrestlers are self interested carneys.
After 7yrs away from wrestling CM Punk returned to wrestling, spent two years in AEW developmental to get ready for his WWE return.
😂😂😂😂so True! I'm happy for Punk being home!
Ffs 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Learning to appreciate WWE, for sure.
@@Lukeoryeah maybe it was a good thing he went thru all that shit, maybe now he won’t be so quick to get butthurt at WWE politics seeing that the grass isn’t greener on the other side
Wrestling elsewhere and now he’s returned to the Universe.
The fact this video of Jim Cornette’s reaction is trending on UA-cam at number 4 as of 5:38pm on Monday shows how massive this moment is for wrestling
I havnt watched wrestling for 15 years and I have absolutely no intention of changing that. But I still listen to Cornette.
And tbh it's not even really a video for all intents and purposes. It an audio clip with a (well drawn) thumbnail. And it TRENDED at #4 in all of UA-cam. Tony really did screw Tony
And that Corny’s take is the one most relevant in wrestling media.
@@johnv6806 this. I'd rather hear about it than actually watch it. Always find it puzzling that adults like wrestling in this day and age.
@AlastairMacAoidh99 you do quite clearly
Cornette mentioning how likely it is that two ex AEW employees could headline Wrestlemania really puts how much Tony has fumbled into perspective
Not since Bischoff gave WWF Austin, Foley and Triple H has anyone fumbled the ball so badly.
He's Chandler Bing. A dropper. It's eminently obvious by now Tony Khan-t.
Plus Jade having a big match in Mania as well
I would laugh my ass off if somehow, Pillman Jr got to the main roster and also lands a WM match as well
@pontflair At least he might have chance to wrestle in the main PLE cards and winning real championship under HBK booking as of now in NXT
WWE is a business.
AEW is a hobby.
This is so true
Aew is the product of a spoilt daddy’s boy using his dads financial situation to try and become relevant
AEW is an adolescent manchild playing with his life-sized, wrestling action figures, but you probably already knew that.
And not a well managed hobby at that.
Perfectly put! Kudos!!
I have been waiting for this!!! All of this was spot on.
holy crap! I did not expect to see you here
HELL YEA!!! Scammer payback a wrestling fan!!! YES!
Scammer Payback jumpscare
Yo wtf scammerpayback is in the house
Pierogi is a huge Jim Cornette fan for a long damn time!
This is the “butts in seats” moment. It’ll get a whole section in the documentary someday, with the Bucks’ childish bullshit playing the Bischoff/Schiavone role.
A clip of those idiots taking their "victory lap" and then a jump to cm punk in survivor series
@@carloscjr23imagine taking sides with them over the biggest draw in your company’s history.
TK screwed TK
The Bucks are the modern-day twin embodiment of X-Pac heat.
*@KJ-tz7vc* X-pac heat, maybe, but the Bucks aren't better workers nor better on the mic than X-Pac.
X-pac could tell a story, but these guys? Exploding sneaker
Bucks can preform Better then x pac ever could let’s not get this misunderstood but on the Mic I do believe X-pac is better for sure.
The best part is during that sit-down Punk absolutely told Triple H everything about how the whole Elite situation went down and Triple H must have agreed with his side of the story since he signed him. WWE also has 3 updates on how the top level chaos in AEW is going thanks to Cody, Regal and Punk and Tony still has no idea what is going on with the behind the scenes of the WWE.
The Bucks finally killed the business and it's the one they are supposed to be EVPs of.
Corny said The Kliq killed the business.
@@Speedyreedy1218Define the business. The clique hurt it real much. They hurt kayfabe. 1995 was probably the worst year in Wrestlings economy. When the clique split up it got up again.
Wow, I had totally forgot about Regal.
Damn!
@@TheLibermania They broke up in 96 with the Curtain Call. That's the event Corny lists as killing the business.
Plus, WWE brought in Pillman Jr AND Jade Cargill.
That Young Bucks victory lap is certainly coming back to haunt them
Yep. Now they're stuck in Pit Row getting an overhaul
They went into hiding as soon as Punk returned 🤣i use to love the bucks but now i see they’re the biggest pussies in the business
The Young Bucks doing a victory lap in the half empty stadium is perfectly symbolism for what AEW is.
@@TheSoundwaveprime it's like Joe Biden as president. Celebrating complete failure
not really.. they're still making millions to work indy matches with their friends..
Would laugh my ass off is CM Punk responded to the Seth outburst on raw with "I feared for my life"
It's notable, that The Elite had a golden opportunity to do reality based angle with CM Punk.. it would have been massive in terms of attention, and it could have been an opportunity for them to really work on the story and character work in wrestling, and promos, if they had the balls to go there. If they were successful, they could have reinvented themselves, and gotten a higher profile because, again, fans would have tuned in. That ship has sailed, and they are always going to be niche because they won't learn and grow
THIS. The Elite really fumbled this with Tony Khan. TK should have looked at it and realized he wouldn't have to spend his own money to keep AEW afloat now. Matt & Nick Jackson should have been given an ultimatum - work with CM Punk, make AEW money, or TK can find some new EVPs. Now Tony Khan will blow through his inheritance just to not even halfway draw fans to their shows on Wednesday/Friday/Saturday. But oh he has Will Ospreay and Adam Copeland (until Ospreay and Copeland decides they don't want to be there and entertain an offer with WWE).
100% this would have been the move and may have boosted aew interest to at least knocking on wwe’s level instead of sinking like the titanic.
Now WWE is going to show AEW what they should have done by doing this program with Punk and Rollins.
@@jasonryan2555Exactly why that's happening...
Sailed nothing
This ship has sunk.
Because those guys fumbled so hard all because he wasn't part of the treehouse club with the Kukamunga kids and told them how he felt and they didn't like it.
No matter what CM Punk does and does not do, people will always talk about him.
Punk draws in viewers, ratings and news for better or worse, but right now this is a huge victory for WWE and Punk.
@JrE-il7cf Same. I think he would be great as a midcarder/jobber.
@JrE-il7cfdrink that copium
@JrE-il7cfYour to young then to see how good CM Punk has always been.
@@Black-bn6iccry more
Imagine giving up CM Punk for Jungle Boy Perry and The Young Bucks. Any owner that would make a decision like that should be out of business.
Just more proof that Tony is not a booker. He's a fanboy with deep pockets.
That's like leaving Randy for Alberto del rio & Sin cara
I said before that would be like Vince getting rid of Austin for fighting Funaki back in 98.
@@user-zi2en8nk6b yup, I actually like del rio once but he's a shell now
@@SamsarasArt Deep Pockets = Dads Football money 💰
AEW: Our feelings are more important than money.
WWE: Money is more important than our feelings.
LOL. This is clearly not true or they would have got him back and he would have never went to AEW in the first place. He already came back and wrestled. It was huge when he returned to wrestling. This switching companies is not as huge as his initial return. People have recently bias.

@@AJWEXIST47 100%. That Australian show was mid. AEW would never allow a PPV to dip to that half ass quality. WWE super hot, the market starving and can't even fill the seats.
WWE still pretending Cody didn't give up his shot. Also solidifying nothing means anything expect for Mania. Only day of year titles can change hands.
And this is not counting the investigations that could make more heads roll.
@@johnnymittleJesus the amount of copium that runs through your veins. You're right. AEW doesn't tolerate mid. They tolerate garbage lol. I'm sure Edge loves seeing the fact that most shows don't even sell upper box seats because they don't even get that many people watching live. I'm sure he loves that the goal of AEW is to survive at 800k instead of growing. Big cope.
In my opinion, Tony Khan's mismanagement of Punk's ordeals with The Elite and Jack Perry helped rebuild the bridge between CM Punk and WWE.
That one time Punk showed up backstage to Raw before his return definitely gives credence to that.
Between that and Vince being forced to the background, the conditions are perfect.
There was other people involved in that, that should have been fired too
Money builds bridges.
1% of my mind now thinks Punk got fired on purpose because this all happened way too quickly.
CM Punk went from never wanting to wrestle again to signing with AEW, hoping to work with some new talent and have some good matches to retire with to now possibly headlining the biggest wrestling show of the year 😂. What a roller coaster of a story this past 10 years has been.
you forgot his UFC career haha
It's genuinely funny that you lot think Punk will be anywhere near the top of the card let alone headlineing WM.
@@mudshowmark2143Punk and Rollins are 100% main eventing the first night of Wrestlemania. Guarantee it lol
@@mudshowmark2143You might want to rub your eyes and realize that in WWE canon, their longest-reigning world champion besides Reigns since Hogan just returned.
It's hilarious that you think HHH hasn't figured out that Punk has been out of WWE nearly 10 years and people never stop talking about him.
(EDIT: But yeah, he totally brought him in to feud with R-Truth...)
its not phil.. it's his brother grant brooks
Punk 100% got the last laugh on Reseda and their friends in the dirtsheets. Even their PWG pals in WWE had no idea this was happening. Jim Ross was right all those years ago when he said, "I would never bet against CM Punk. Ever. The man is a different kind of cat. Cerebral and always thinking how to come out on top in the toughest of situations. He's a rare breed of cunning."
"There was literally a picture of someone holding a baby in the air!" - my favorite line of the video - and true.
CM Punk returning was such big news it was a story on BBC News. The number of wrestlers who they'd bother reporting on can be counted on one hand.
Punk in WWE might not last long but it’s huge news. I hope he starts fighting the boys in the locker room. And throws hissy fits on a nightly basis.
@@jeepernj99he won’t
@@jeepernj99I really do hope you hope that happens, so you will be completely disappointed when it doesn't. I've seen cope before but you Punk haters take the cake!
Punk is a loose cannon who ain’t afraid to fight anyone anywhere. I’m also here for his upcoming tantrums.
@@jeepernj99 To me punk seems more old school. Disrespect him and he deals with it. He’s not a puss like this current generation. That’s just my perspective.
Though I will say if this run ends poorly then I’ll agree with ya.

Out of everyone involved in this situation, from AEW to WWE, Triple H is the one who comes out of this smelling like a rose the most. He set a shining example for how a boss and executive should treat and handle talent that they've had heat with. Whatever one wants to say about H's ego, he has the emotional maturity and the leadership skills to let bygones be bygones, bury the hatchet and let a stupid beef go. That's something that Tony and his EVPs will never be able to because they operate with the emotional intelligence of 10 year olds. Triple H knew that he held Punk's legacy and redemption in his hands and he could've easily squashed any hope of ending his career in the big leagues on a positive note. And instead of sabotaging it because of old heat, he chose to do the opposite. That's some of the most real man alpha male king shit I've ever seen. My respect for H was already sky high but now its up in outer space. Well done, sir. You're a real one and a true leader. #therealbookeroftheyear
WWE is a publicly traded company. Triple H did his job. Nothing more, nothing less. He can't tell the shareholders that he turned down a chance for big money because of his personal feelings.
Where do you think he learned that from? Gee, maybe his father in law that did it countless times over the years?
Jim is completely correct, AEW acquiring Will Ospreay is a big deal, but WWE acquiring CM Punk makes AEW acquiring Will Ospreay seem like an after thought.
Who?
Will osprey is excellent but he isn’t box office. Mjf is the only star in aew.
Then he ain’t gonna be on the show till next year 😂 meanwhile Punk is gonna be on Raw with millions watching
Ospreay is good, but he's not well known outside the tiny group of wrestling hardcore fans who follow Japan. A lot of potential, but given how AEW is, he won't be a star. Probably end up having similar issues with Jungle Jack and the Bucks. The general public has no idea who he is, hell outside of the hardcore fans wrestling fans don't know who he is.
AEW has a 0% batting average for handling potential stars. See Starks, Hobbs, Wardlow, Punk, Rhodes, MJF, Pillman Jr, Cargill... no reason to expect Ospreay will have any chance in AEW.
Ngl, even if cm punk didn’t return in the wwe, aew signing ospreay means nothing to them.
I wonder if Tony's father saw Punk and asked Tony:
"Didnt he use to work with us?" 😅😮
Tony is like that kid from entourage movie, the kid who tries to edit the movie cause of being angry at andrian chase for dating his favourite model
Daddy Khan has no idea what is going on over at AEW, the amount of money his darling little boy is spending on it is essentially a “rounding error” for Shad
@@derekstewart2956I agree, it was just a thought as I was headed to bed on i wonder what he thinks about any of AEW the last two- three years.

Hold your horses... It was the return of R-Truth, then Randy Orton, and finally CM Punk.

"Do you want to work for Antonio Khanoki? Or do you want to work for Triple H?" 😂😂 Brian Last, that was a tremendous line.
2 years ago, Cody being back in WWE was unthinkable, nobody thought that was even remotely possible. CM Punk being back in WWE? The world has definitely skewed into a different timeline somewhere because damn. AEW's 2 biggest problems are booking and managing their talent. Jay White was the biggest free agent earlier in the year, they have done nothing with him. They have done an even worse job booking their main event scene than WWE has. While the marks are celebrating them signing Will Ospreay, which I'll admit is a big get for AEW, I have absolutely no faith in how they will use him, as they have dropped the ball on 90% of the big names they have acquired.
Ostrich will go 30 minutes broadway with Lil dog pockets
@@TimeBomb014X and after that, he'll ask for his contract to be voided. He'll wait out the 3 month no compete and either run back to New Japan faster than you can say Antonio Inoki (R.I.P.), or sign with WWE.
@@PontFlair and unless he yells at Tony, he'll be forced to stay until his contract expires
@TimeBomb014X someone in his camp should tell him just that.
*"you know if you don't like it here, just yell at Tony Khan angrily, he'll fear for his life and we can go back to NJPW, or sign with WWE."*
I think these days there are guys like Cody/Jade/etc where they wanna be superstars headlining arenas more than be your HBK/Bret Hart types. There's for sure a crossover with work rate/star power today but I'm sure they feel that WWE is just a level above in reaching superstardom and Punk knows this.
If you ever want to know the massive gap in stardom between Punk and Osperay remember that Punks return was reported on the Twitter for BBC news and Will Osperay has never ever been mentioned by his home countries main news source
"Look in my eyes, what do you see, fans in seats, every 18 inches...", had me like rolling.🤣
I was expecting Brian to say "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!" XD
One company runs a business and the other runs a clubhouse.

Exactly. Say what you want about WWE. But they're the winning team. They've got the history, the track record and the credentials. They're a serious and professionally managed global company and the only wrestling company who know how to create moments and make stars. AEW is Fruity Pebbles. Great that Punk has a chance to end his career in a company that actually has a clue.

I’m surprised no one picked up on how Punks return was the same as Bray Wyatt’s return. Weeks and maybe a month before Brays return. WWE kept giving teasers leading to Brays return. The day of the PPV. Come the ending of the show, Cole is signing off. Copyright logo comes out making you think the show is over and Wyatt comes out. They did the same thing with Punk.
It's a Triple H thing. He used that a few times in NXT too. Always throws us off. Lol

Glad to see Punk back in WWE again and good to see Punk and HHH burying the hatchet too.
Punk actually looked a few years younger than he did in AEW.
He looked great. Much less stressed.
Less stress and actually being happy to work with grown ups does alot to one's health lol
The man literally looks 10 years younger after leaving the mud show
Looks like he's been hitting the gym, motivated for this WWE return. 💪🏽
Facts. Better "suppliments" over there.
I am surprised, I do not think Corny mentioned one of the biggest reasons Punk and WWE came to terms. Ryback's retirement from pro wrestling.
Imagine being the EVPs, not willing to accept and talk it out with Punk and because of that, he is now going to make the opposing company millions of dollars when AEW could have still been making millions of dollars off Punks contract! Khan has some great business partners!
I almost feel sorry for Tony Kahn. He has been taken advantage of so much, and he is way too nice to be a promoter in the wrestling business. Tony isn’t a leader, and all of those wrestlers in AEW know that. He has lost a lot of money and momentum due to the jealousy and immaturity of those in his ear.
The EVPs had their feelings hurt bc they went to jump CM Punk and got beat up. They were butthurt over it and instead of turning it into money, they acted like children.
I have no doubts that they had something to do with the difficulty CM Punk had in England before the All-Out Wembley show. They were trying to goad Punk into getting himself fired. They probably got into Luke Perry's son's ear too before he got choked.
The children were the "We Are The World" record that reunited Punk and WWE
Now they're (Bucks) taking a hiatus and are as cold as they've ever been, meanwhile Punk is as hot as ever. It's unreal man.
Cmftr vs elite was money for real. Tony fumbled bad
Tony needs to come work for WWE so he can learn how to run a wrestling business
Imagine Punk comes out on RAW tonight with a Cornette shirt
So let me get this straight
Triple H aka CM Punk’s number 1 enemy buried the hatchet for the sake of making money
But AEW’s EVPs weren’t mature enough to work with him?
Well Triple H is an experienced business man, The Bucks are still very immature..
Yes
I actually thank Punk for exposing AEW's management and specially the backstage politics of EVPs who pretend to "save" the wrestling but instead are pulling one of the biggest scam in the history of wrestling business. 😂😂
You word that perfect! Yes punk might didn’t get along but dang it was obvious it was him vs everyone there. He didn’t get I ride when he made it to another country. Jungle boy chose to mock him when he was trying to protect him. And we point 1 finger? Nah aew and aew fans. Y’all sound like a bunch of babies that’s never been punch in their own face before! “Punk bad” bc he proved he was working with lame guys and unprofessional. The fact that most people would had reacted like punk in their everyday job if their company didn’t give them a ride or a guy call them out in front of millions of people. I’m sure Austin theory was listening to every word cena told him. But jungle boy can’t listen to a vet?
That's the thing too in the long run punk basically just expose what the locker room in AEW was/is really like. The AEW stans will always hate him for exposing the illusion the elite try to create. That I say don't hate punk hate the elite since the elite were the ones who want the wrestling promotion to this be their personal playhouse instead of being like punk who actually want it to see the company grow and do better.
Everyone was aware the cucks are middle school bullies
Nah Punk is a man child that doesn't play well with anyone. Expect Punk WWE drama within the next 9 months.
@@MentalGains if that was true, why would it take 9 months, this not a pregnancy
The moment we've all been waiting for. Big thanks to Tony Khan, Jake Perry, The Elite, and the "AEW Disicple Committee" for making this happen. RAW is about to get the biggest rating boost it's had in years. Every TV station now will be throwing money at WWE for the TV rights for RAW. Yes, I do feel WWE didn't need Punk, but they are going to know how to use him. The picture of HHH and Punk together broke the dirt sheets, as they have spent the last two days crying like spoiled children, at the fact WWE worked the fuck out of them. No one knew this was happening and Meltzer, SRS, Fightful, and everyone are losing their minds. It's gotten so bad they honestly think Seth and Punk are going to get in a backstage brawl, instead of setting up one of the biggest matches for the Rumble or Mania. Of course, the dirt sheet also thinks Drew stormed off angry because of Punk. They are so fucking gullible. Tony Khan, The Elite, and Meltzer all need a wellness check after the beating WWE is about to give them. I as honestly feel that Punk has one chance at this, if he fucks up he is done, so the ball is in court, but I don't see it happening.
The Disciple Committee? Does Ed Leslie head that up?
@@pocketsporenah its megan and some of Kenny's japanese girls I think

Perfectly said 😄
Agree I don’t see cm punk messing up this opportunity it’s all his got. Now wwe will show aew how to make money out of this kind of situations.
#5 on youtube trending 🔥 insane time to be a wrestling fan
The first thing i did when i heard punks music was hit the WWE shop, and lo and behold the punk Survivor series war games shirt was available, WHILE i was watching punk tap his watch. Which tells me that HHH managed to not only keep everything under wraps with most of the staff, and wrestlers, but also was able to have the people that handle merch under wraps. That is seriously impressive
Triple H and Nick Khan’s gain, Tony Khan’s loss.
Triple H truly knows how to do what’s best for business folks, and how he introduced CM Punk back in WWE proves it! He outplayed SRS, Uncle Dave, and all other dirtsheet insiders!
Uncle Dave said he knew all along, such an incompetent fool just like his fanbase
SRS is a mark
Exactly. Why TF, Triple H and Nick Khan would go and tell SRS and Uncle Dave that Punk is back.. Of course play all of them in a fiddle and listen to the pop when Cult of Personality hits. All those wrestling UA-camr reactions and IG, X reactions is what Triple H wanted and he got it so why tell those marks
All the AEW Stans/Punk haters getting exactly what they deserve.

Wasn't Dave Meltzer just saying that he wasn't going to be allowed back in the WWE and that WWE weren't even interested and that there were too many cons and all that. Shows how much he knows.
Yes
if Dave says it's sunny outside, take an umbrella with you
Uncle Dave needs to put his tongue back in his mouth 😂
@@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812he needs to dig out of twinkle toes ass first
I heard that from a few different wrestling pages who parrot what Dave says
I just laughed
Never forget that Tony Khan rejected the advice of Jim Cornette because TK wanted to play fantasy booker
A CMFTR v The Elite angle could have been huge. TK truly dropped the golden egg. RIP AEW.
Just thinking how much money it would've made and how good the matches and promos would've been makes me depressed
I want to thank the young bucks for making this moment possible. hope they had fun with their little victory lap at their dead company
Facts
Definitely not a dead company but ok
Nah. They will just rip off Khan of more of his money given the way he operates.
Well it's definitely not a thriving company 😅😂
A really genuinely wanted to like AEW, but Tony Khan and The "elite" proved HHH right, they are a piss ant company, who most of their top stars are marks for themselves.
I'm happy for Punk.
Jungle Boy made WWE more money than he ever will make AEW
Wowwwwwww you’re right
But Jungle Jack will be revealed as the Devil. 🤣🤣🤣
He'll start something with Edge, then Edge will get fired for slapping the kid.
I’ve been singing “the cult of meat with extra cheese” for the last 24 hours waiting for this to come out 💯😆🤓
Rumour has it that CM Punk returning to WWE has made Tony Khan and AEW roster fear for their lives.
😂
What kind of morbid mentality is this? Football hooligans are more civilised than wwe fans.

@@alcook955Not gonna happen. Because WWE has actual professionals in the locker room and at the top, not kids too stupid and too arrogant to take advice from veterans like Sting and Mark Henry, or more interested in playing with their friends.
Looking forward to seeing Fake News Meltzer cope
@@Jeff_Pryce Exactly
I'm willing to bet Cody had a hand in Punk being rehired. That's something these scorn AEW fans never considered. Cody knows first hand what the EVPs and Tony the guys who pushed him out are really like behind the scenes.

it's fun to listen to how ecstatic Corny sounds because of this development. It's not that Corny has so much love for the WWE (he doesn't), it's the fact that this move is bringing back the attention wrestling needs to move forward. The product these days is stale by all companies, so when you have something of this magnitude happen (and also, it all proves Corny has been right all along), it right fully makes Jim excited for the business he loves.
I think long story short Punk was in AEW and realized WWE wasn’t that bad after all.
Jim and Brian the dedication to drop this so soon is special. You guys deserve kudos on this one big time you nailed it more than any of the “journalists”
Yep. I was expecting this video tomorrow at the very least. They rushed to the studio to make this happen because the event was too big not to jump right on it
I'd rather hear Cornette and Last than most, if not all of these UA-cam shows and Meltzer. Meltzer sucks
Brian probably called him Sunday morning and were like "....we gotta record!" Cause you know Jim didn't watch this live...
Oh stop Jim is so far up punks but I'm surprised we didn't get it sooner. Lol but I'm glad we got it either way
A picture of CM Punk returning, should be the image used for the “Rise? And Fall of AEW”
WWE Network special.
Maybe
@TheEverlastnScar Okay lady
It's like the nail in coffin into Tony the Kid's grave. Dixie Carter line One.
If only WWE stars could talk about AEW the way AEW talks about WWE it would golden to hear CM punk cook them
@@marquiswolf2766 the problem being, WWE could care less. Just like when Eric had 83 weeks. Vince didn't talk about them. Vince thought that he was the only game in town.
I agree with Jim, and it's just amazing how Tony Kahn was able to fix something so badly broken like this between punk and WWE. I was so shocked as everyone was not expecting him to never ever return, but that had to be one of the LOUDEST pops I ever heard as soon as his music hit.
I hadn't follow wrestling in a few years and figured AEW was doing fine and growing, then I see clips of cody and punk back in WWE and learn AEW hasn't grown any, but shrinking. Dumbfounded. Letting CM Punk was an incredible blunder on the part of TK.
I like AEW, I want to see it succeed because rivalry is good for business. But man, do you know HOW BAD Tony had to mess up in order for Punk to be like "Ya know what? WWE wasn't that bad" and rebuild the bridge? Like hell, that blows my mind.
Its kinda nuts that the company that funded a multi-million dollar lawsuit on CM Punk was able to have Punk think it was the lesser evil to resign with 😂😂😂
@ishmael802 No lesser evil here. Jaut was a washed-up wrestler looking for a paycheck. Get real 😂😂😂
That washed up wrestler has drawn incredible numbers on just the clip of his return there bucko.
@@kadmiss1750exactly. Millions of people have watched his return on the WWE UA-cam page. Can't imagine what it's like everywhere else.
How much of a loser must tony feel letting punk spray paint his world championship belt.
WWE lied to dirtsheets they basically played them lmao I love it
Then the dirtsheets tried to cope with saying drew was pissed

Exactly F Uncle Dave and his ilk.
Observe this, brother!!!
Thank you Jim and Brian for getting this one out ASAP!!! was eagerly waiting this one thank yall very much
Thank you Tony Khan for making this upcoming Wrestlemania the best one yet!!!
Credit to Triple H, if there’s one good thing he learned from Vince it’s that a bridge is never burnt. If it’s good for business, you can always repair the bridge.
Jim Cornette called it. I love it. You are the guy who knows the business and sees what is really going on.
Cant wait to see him and Heyman come face to face again. CINEMA.
This is what I want to see.

Keep them away from each other until after Wrestlemania.
That's what I'm most excited for, when Punk and Heyman are standing across each other once again for the first time with microphones in their hand. It's going to be magic on the level of Cody/Heyman earlier this year.
HHH saw what AEW should have done and capitalised. Getting Rollins to react how he did was genius. Excited for Raw tonight.
Edit - can’t spell did.
He's working it, but yes. Even the "Drew walked out" story is a work.
@@eiephants seems Rollins and McIntyre are set to be opponents for punk at some point.
What a way to start a feud. Seth reacted exactly to character, overdoing it way over the top. What great matches, looking forward to it. 💪💥🔥
Could even be two reasons for drew with the obvious punk taking his spot at getting the title and then him losing to Jey could also set up for Jey
CM Punk is Rollins Dad? What are you talking about?
Honestly it was a real moment and they got me I was so disappointed and believed he wasn't there or coming back. The tears of joy that I had was the sort of true emotion you always talk about Jim

Finally back in the big leagues💪🏼💪🏼
The amount of star power WWE has right now is absolutely insane. From Roman to punk to LA night to Cody Randy etc and I didn’t even mention any of the main women stars.
They roster is solid from top to bottom with a lot of future guys in NXT that’s ready to rise
The people in NXT alone are more over than almost everyone in AEW
Triple H is doing a great job
WWE is in real good hands with HHH and HBK running the shows
It doesn't come as a shock that the WWE became as hot as it did when they decided to become a babyface again promotion for the first time in over 20 years
I'm glad you mentioned LA Knight. I'd love to see a Knight vs. Punk promo and match. Personally, I'd like to see Knight go over, but I'd be happy with any result as long as they have a match.
I don’t listen regularly and don’t watch wrestling, but how anyone didn’t think this was going to happen is insane. For all the reasons Jim mentioned and more.
If HHH and CM Punk can work together, anything is possible. This raises my hopes that eventually Jim will get back together...with Codecademy.
You just made me realise how much I missed those spots
And yet The Elite didn’t want to work with Punk.
But it’s okay, you can’t be reasonable with children
Punk got me to watch AEW and now he is bringing me back to watching WWE.
I haven’t watched WWE for 5 years…..until tonight!!
@@daminashun8868same
not even CM Punk was enough to watch AEW.. complete garbage 💯 but WWE.. different story, this move is bringing back fans that they've lost over the years.. WWE is must see tv now
WWE has had waaaay better storylines than AE-Dub lately
Me too
The way Triple H and Big Nick Khan keep this so damn close to the chest and the way they were able to work everyone, including the boys and especially the wrestling media. You love to see it!
I'm not even a massive Punk fan, but this makes so much sense and makes everything so much more interesting heading into Mania season.
It was one of the best moments in wrestling history. Punk has won me over, and I'm so goddamn excited for his WWE return. The second Dave Meltzer and Fiteful Select reported that he wouldn't be there and the WWE had passed on him, I knew for sure that we'd get this moment, and goddamn what a moment it was. I've seen soime pops in my day, including Mankind winning the title, but this is right up there with the best. CM Punk is a genius.
When it's looked at in hindsight, it may be the best kept secret ever in the modern Era of Pro-Wrestling.
Fooling the dirt sheets, the other media outlets and THAT IDIOT MELTZER is just the icing on the cake.
It was such a well kept secret that the entire WWE marketing crew knew about it well in advance. They were uploading t-shirts to the website as soon as his entrance music hit
he worked the boys and now he will pay the price watch this unfold
@@user-cw3ro7bz7iwhat's best for business?
