10 Things That MUST Happen During CM Punk’s WWE Return

10. WWE Ignores Easy AEW/Tony Khan Digs

Some folks hit social media to tear CM Punk's comeback promo on Monday's Raw to shreds. Seriously, go search his name and you'll see endless streams of comments lambasting the man for failing to reference AEW, Tony Khan, Jack Perry, Hangman Page, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega and more.

That was never going to happen.

It shouldn't anyway - Triple H and his creative team must sidestep any temptation to senselessly guffaw at All Elite Wrestling just for the sake of it. What would that even achieve? It'd only give the other company more impressions on X, and get people talking about AEW in the same breath as WWE.

Let's make one thing crystal clear: Punk would be landing in legal hot water if he started mouthing off about Khan and the worst moments from his fiery All Elite run. That'd be stupid. Some fans can clamour for on-air dirt all they want here, but it's not happening.
