10 Ways CM Punk Will Just Make WWE BETTER
1. Everything Immediately Becomes Must-See
Despite what the naysayers and haters may shout about online, WWE television now becomes absolutely must-see.
Much like the last couple of years of his prior WWE run, or his two years with AEW, CM Punk's sheer presence make for destination programming. From the time he cut that infamous first pipe bomb, the Chicago native has brought a great sense of 'what will he say?' to any broadcast he's been a part of.
Whether it was throwing jibes at the likes of Triple H, Shawn Michaels, or Vince McMahon, or having real-talk with an Eddie Kingston, an MJF, or a Jon Moxley, Punker has a reputation for saying things that simply wouldn't historically have been said on a wrestling show. Once again, that's where the blurring of lines comes into play, with the five-time WWE Champion crossing lines and making reference to things usually off limits; referencing Michaels' past drug issues or discussing the death of McMahon.
To further highlight the sheer interest - for good or for bad - in CM Punk, the short clip of his Survivor Series return had been viewed over four million times in less than one day. By any metric, that number is insane, and it seems a given that any Raw, SmackDown, or Premium Live Event featuring Punk will have extra eyes brought to it simply by the presence of Phil Brooks.
