10 Ways CM Punk Will Just Make WWE BETTER
2. Potential AEW Signees
If - and this is obviously a big if - CM Punk has a solid run with WWE, with no backstage fallouts, no clashes with other talent, and none of the BS that was so often synonymous with his time in AEW, that serves to do several things.
Notably, it proves that CM Punk wasn't necessarily the problem during those two years in All Elite Wrestling. Also, it further serves to make WWE an attractive destination for those in AEW who may be contemplating a change.
In the Second City Saint, we have someone who had one of the most heated, explosive exits from WWE. In an industry where the mantra is so often never say never, for the longest time it seemed absolutely implausible to ever see CM Punk back in the WWE.
By bringing Punker back, that shows to any ex-WWE names in AEW that the door is always open, regardless of comments made or the nature of their prior WWE exit. For example, to talents like Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley, Saraya or Miro, this indicates that WWE is a viable option should they fancy a change of scenery.
Similarly, should there be any significant issues backstage in AEW, at the same time things are going smoothly for CM Punk in WWE, that can absolutely make talents question their current working environment; again making WWE more attractive once it comes to contract renewal time.
Of course, all of this is a giant 'if'. But what an 'if' it is.
