 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here So we're gonna be talking about AEW and this whole CM Punk mess that spiraling out of control not out of control But you know, it's pretty disappointing that CM Punk returned to the pro wrestling industry last year in his hometown of Chicago and a year later It's turned into this one of the most disappointing returns in recent memories. No doubt about it This is a new report from the wrestling observer newsletter according to Dave Meltzer AEW and CM Punk were in talks to buy out the remaining years on his contract The news comes less than two months after punk a steel who was recently released the young Bucks and Kenny omega Were involved in a backstage fight following punk's comments about the Bucks Omega and others at September's all-out post-event press conference Meltzer said neither punk or AEW commented on or denied the story Meltzer wrote that AEW and punk were talks about the future But it looks doubtful he will be back Those with close knowledge of the situation said they're in talks with punk about a buyout of the remaining years of his contract Which tells you that they are not looking to bring him back The holdup right now is said to be the non-complete period He wrote that the non-compete is obviously because of WWE as they are the only other group that can pay him What he would ask for punk is currently injured from his all-out match with John Moxley However, with no public time before when he could return the length of the disputed non-compete was not included Meltzer pointed out there is no locked WWE would even want punk back Even with Paula Vecke on a streak of surprise returns Noting they turned down having punk return before despite Fox wanted him to do so AEW has yet to publicly state anything related to the fight with Tony calm refusing to answer questions when asked It's assumed that Omega and the Bucks were suspended following the fight while punk is injured and can't return to action Anyway, it's unclear if he is still suspended despite that punk Omega and the Bucks were all stricter the titles on the post all-out edition of Dynamite Without being mentioned by name or why the titles were stripped from them to begin with now I just want to dive in and share my thoughts on the whole situation So again, it is very disappointing that this is what it's come to regarding the whole seeing punk return to pro wrestling Many of us had dream matches that we wanted to see like seeing punk versus Jeff Hardy Again, not that that's a match you haven't seen before That's why I have to say again some other matches that he hasn't had Already we know he did that great program with MJF. I think they had a great Rivalry in the company some great promo action between the two as well Something that we all knew they were going to do because they're two of the best on the mics but when it comes to Again what I think AEW should be doing before I even talk about a potential WWE run If we were going to ignore the fact that there's also reports out there that the The energy in the backstage locker room or in the locker room is that in general their anti-seeing punk They're on the side of the elite the young bucks Kenny omega hangman adam page. You're on this. They're on that side They're anti-seeing punk Despite reports like that. Let's ignore that regardless if it's true or not What I would hope is that AEW would let this die down with him already being out of action Let it die down try to turn this into something that would boost your ratings upon his returns Such as a very dominant heel run not necessarily something that have what have to portray him in the greatest light anyway, but Capitalized on this and turned it into a storyline But again, if your locker room is unhappy Maybe that's what's what's most important to Tony con is keeping his locker room happy right now Because I was thinking to myself during that scrimmage the fact that he was so comfortable to talk like this with you around I think that shines a light on just how much you need to improve maybe as a boss So that way they don't get that comfortable around you because you at the end of day are still their boss They need to act a certain way around you Uh, of course, obviously you guys can be cool But to go out and talk like that And stretch it to the people that are in the back That was a little bit overkill and I get the whole frustration he had with them talking about uh called cabana That was that part I was okay with But then when he started extending it, of course the adam page I again was on his side in terms of I get that you have to let your frustration out But now as as time passes you also have to recognize there's a time and a place to do certain things And that was not the right time or the place Because now he's in this situation. He has one of the shortest live aw rains after what holding the title two times now And still one of the shortest live rains It's very disheartening that his return ended up like this But in regards to him potentially returning to wwe I could see that happening I think that of course even though he had beef with not only Vince McMahon and paul levet because there's a difference here between certain other returning stars This guy had an issue with vince and triple h What is different to me now though is that I think the chances of it happening are more stronger with triple h Being in charge someone who is open to putting personal decisions Or personal issues aside and working together for the sake of what's best for the business I could also see fox starting to push for sea and punt to come back once again I could also see paul hayman getting triple h's ear because we know that that's a paul hayman That's a paul hayman guy. We know that paul hayman is a sea and punt guy We know that they already had a program together on screen once in 2013 as well. So There's so many different variables. I think that could lead to us having a stronger chance of seeing punk back in wwe I also know that if you were to do that, you'd have some people saying he's a hypocrite Ultimately is going to come down to what he thinks is best for him Some people think it's best for him to just walk away from the business all together because he has too big of an ego I'm someone who thinks that if you were to return to wwe There would be a lengthy conversation had with him about certain things that we have kind of seen addressed in promo between triple h and sea and punk on television Many years ago almost a decade ago at this point related to his ego and certain other things about how he's not happy Unless he's the one at the top They will probably have a lengthy conversation about that and tell him that's not how this is going to go We are going to put our differences aside and we are going to bring you in and see where this goes But it's not going to go like this. You have to you have to check that ego at the door And they will bring him in because i'm sure there's other people who would love to have sea and punk back in the locker room at wwe because honestly there there's people In that locker room that I could see sea and punk getting along with much better than the guys in the back at aw I just can't with all of those guys being on the side of the elite He has a hate train behind him But honestly again a part of me is thinking aw would be dropping the ball and losing out on a big opportunity Because of the fact that I think that could help their ratings wwe is still to this date from my memory still beating them in terms of ratings for their major shows anyway So then if you Have seen punk added to the mix someone who's again once once again very controversial and in the talk of garden professional wrestling And he shows up on raw or smackdown their ratings just going to jump up even higher They're just going to jump up even higher, but I think that if he were to stay in aw and you work this into a He'll run for him It would also boost your ratings which again still need boost So if they lose seeing punk that is a big loss it doesn't it doesn't matter the circumstances around it I would say seeing punk is still a very big draw Regardless of why he's leaving the company. That's going to be a big loss It's going to be a very big loss and then for him to only potentially return to wwe That would only enhance wwe's ratings. I would think so and I know again There is no guarantee he will return But I think the chances of him returning are stronger more than ever Let me know what you guys think about this down in the comment section below If you haven't already, of course, make sure you subscribe turn on post notifications video in the description I will have links to all my social media accounts.
