WWE: WWE TV - Raw & Smackdown Part 3

[IDEKWTM]

Didn't sound anything like CM punk.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

This guy is talking like AEW doesn’t exist

I think it's more to do with legal issues than just ignoring AEW. I don't think Punk or AEW can go to in depth with mentioning the other with how everything ended.

 

[Emperoreddy]

This guy is talking like AEW doesn’t exist

I'm not sure he legally can talk about what happened so maybe they figured just avoid the elephant in the room entirely.

 

[GKJ]

I always hate when companies do this. Throw some shade, it’s good for business.

I’d be curious whose call that was and if it was actually his.

“I’m not back to make friends, I’m back to make money.”

I'm not sure he legally can talk about what happened so maybe they figured just avoid the elephant in the room entirely.

I didn’t expect him to directly mention them but I did expect some kind of veiled reference

 

[Emperoreddy]

It will be hard to ignore when he has to cut promos face to face with someone.

But there is plenty of ammo solely around his WWE exit and the fact that guys like Seth and Roman can't stand him

 

[Grackle Party]

Hopefully Punk turns heel quick that was pretty corny

 

[Emperoreddy]

TK was asked about Punk's return I think this morning and he said he legally can't talk about it so I wonder if NDAs were involved in getting out of his contract.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Was basically his AEW return promo.

 

[Grackle Party]

Was basically his AEW return promo.

I wanted him as heel there too!

 

[Emperoreddy]

I wanted him as heel there too!

Agreed. I don't like when he is corny. I assume he won't stay "happy to be here" on promos very long, especially when the story they want to tell his certain guys shoot hating his guts

 

[Emperoreddy]

Also can we get AJ Lee in the rumble?

 

[Sheppy]

Can we get Seth + Becky vs Punk + Aj?

 

[Grackle Party]

I’m hoping we get some Punk / Heyman interactions down the line

 

[Emperoreddy]

I’m hoping we get some Punk / Heyman interactions down theRumble?

I would be shocked if we don't. You can't keep CM "Make Roman look strong" Punk away from the Bloodline forever.

Does Tony really ever answer questions though? Every interview clip I've ever heard with him is just him repeatedly saying how great things are, and how much people are going to love XYZ, and dodging any questions

True, but he did say specifically he can't legally talk about it.

Punk is going to make veiled references eventually (and Seth and company will make them at him), but I think its better they keep him under control and not let him just dump on AEW

Yeah in the end it'll be better for everyone to move on and make the best of their current situations

 

[Chimaera]

At least he’s honest. He is there for a big ol check.

For whatever it’s worth, WWE will figure out how to make money off it while it works. Other wrestlers will be smart to do the same while it’s good. Honestly, lot of guys in AEW, no matter how dumb it was, left some stacks on the table. WWE won’t.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Seth at least is a professional. He had real life heat with Riddle but put it aside to do business. Same with Cody.

Seth is going to let some of his true feelings out in his promos but he won't take liberties. Roman same.

If any mid card talent tried a Jack Perry shoot they would be fired on the spot and I assume they know that.

Punk's side. He has to know this is his very last chance to be a major act in a major wrestling company. He burns his bridges here, he has no where else to go. AEW will never take him back.

He has a chance to make a lot of money in front of some very large crowds in multiple countries over the next year. He can't be that stupid to throw that away over something stupid again.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Also no December PLE this year. They got two months of TV to do until the Rumble so they are going to slow burn the hell out of everything

 

[Emperoreddy]

Yeah I think that's the Buck's victory lap

 

[TD Charlie]

Randy’s promo was largely dull. Punks promo was somehow even worse.

It only took one night for them to make me lose interest.

 

[Satans Hockey]

Yeah I think that's the Buck's victory lap

It's not, he's been doing that for literally years. The Bucks did the victory lap to make fun of him.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

The timing was just so bad. To advertise the first hour commercial free and then give him 5 minutes at the end was bs. Mid energy at that point of the night and he reciprocated. Nothing set up for next week, either.

Not that I matter in any way, but my attempt to get back into the product is done after that.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I choose to believe that Nakamura referencing Chaos means Yano is coming.
