Who wouldve thought that it would be Tony Khan to repair the relationship with Punk & WWE. Amazing
Triple H doesn’t have to do a damn thing does he? Tony Khan just hands him everything on a platter. Just MJF now and that’ll be that. On the plus side, Tony will be able to devote more time to GM Mode in EWR, and The Ballet Club will be back trampolining in a backyard fed near you in no time. So, every cloud and all that…
What’s crazy is tony is one of the biggest mark so imagine childhood tony seeing punk back in wwe. Then he realized he had it but kept colt cabana and the elite instead💀
Punk will wreck it again in no time. Bleedat.
@Exidy YTLOL 🫵🏽🤣
@Exidy YTit looks like these people didn’t saw how bad he wrestled in AEW. 🤷♂️
Happy to see Triple H was not “afraid for his life”, didn’t hold old grudges, and now is ready to do big business. Pro wrestling needs more promoters with this kind of mindset.
I’ve always hated Triple H and the ‘manner’ he used to get to the top, but I gotta give him props for not being afraid to do what’s best for business.
if tony khan was afraid for his life of some guy that gets beat by beginners in UFC, then how weak is tony?
@sjdrifter72 Never understood this. The point of being a pro wrestler is to make the most money you can. You should be selfish
I was never much of a Triple H fan but man, time and time again this guy has proven that – unlike Vince – he really does care about wrestling.
CM Punk went from never wanting to wrestle again to signing with AEW, hoping to work with some new talent and have some good matches to retire with to now possibly headlining the biggest wrestling show of the year 😂. What a roller coaster of a story this past 10 years has been.
you forgot his UFC career haha
It’s genuinely funny that you lot think Punk will be anywhere near the top of the card let alone headlineing WM.
@Mudshow MarkPunk and Rollins are 100% main eventing the first night of Wrestlemania. Guarantee it lol
@Mudshow MarkYou might want to rub your eyes and realize that in WWE canon, their longest-reigning world champion besides Reigns since Hogan just returned.
It’s hilarious that you think HHH hasn’t figured out that Punk has been out of WWE nearly 10 years and people never stop talking about him.
(EDIT: But yeah, he totally brought him in to feud with R-Truth…)
its not phil.. it’s his brother grant brooks
Punk got me to watch AEW and now he is bringing me back to watching WWE.
I haven’t watched WWE for 5 years…..until tonight!!
not even CM Punk was enough to watch AEW.. complete garbage 💯 but WWE.. different story, this move is bringing back fans that they’ve lost over the years.. WWE is must see tv now
WWE has had waaaay better storylines than AE-Dub lately
Me too
That Young Bucks victory lap is certainly coming back to haunt them
Yep. Now they’re stuck in Pit Row getting an overhaul
The Young Bucks doing a victory lap in the half empty stadium is perfectly symbolism for what AEW is.
@TheSoundwaveprime it’s like Joe Biden as president. Celebrating complete failure
not really.. they’re still making millions to work indy matches with their friends..
The way Triple H and Big Nick Khan keep this so damn close to the chest and the way they were able to work everyone, including the boys and especially the wrestling media. You love to see it!
I’m not even a massive Punk fan, but this makes so much sense and makes everything so much more interesting heading into Mania season.
Tony dropped the ball on Cody AND Punk. even Dixie managed to keep Kurt Angle for a decade. the man is a generational fumbler.
The sad thing is they own a football team in america
@Joenel SarachoDear God😢.
@Joenel Sarachoin England as well. Different type of football, but still and all…
@Curtis Clayton bro there is a joke thay tony khan fumbles the ball everytime they own the jaguars right an american football
American football = fumbles so yeah
Mr. Coke also let Jade Cargill leave and messed up a built-in story with Pillman Jr.
Cody Rhodes leaving started a lot of AEW’s downfall. The one voice of reason left, and now we’re seeing what AEW really is, amateur night.
The Universe works in funny ways.
AEW was born to get Punk back home.
L
I actually thank Punk for exposing AEW’s management and specially the backstage politics of EVPs who pretend to “save” the wrestling but instead are pulling one of the biggest scam in the history of wrestling business. 😂😂
You word that perfect! Yes punk might didn’t get along but dang it was obvious it was him vs everyone there. He didn’t get I ride when he made it to another country. Jungle boy chose to mock him when he was trying to protect him. And we point 1 finger? Nah aew and aew fans. Y’all sound like a bunch of babies that’s never been punch in their own face before! “Punk bad” bc he proved he was working with lame guys and unprofessional. The fact that most people would had reacted like punk in their everyday job if their company didn’t give them a ride or a guy call them out in front of millions of people. I’m sure Austin theory was listening to every word cena told him. But jungle boy can’t listen to a vet?
Whether you like it or not, Triple H brought back MANY wrestlers that we all NEVER thought would be back – Randy Savage’s hall of fame induction via his brother Lanny, Bruno Sammartino in the hall of fame, Ultimate Warrior in the hall of fame, Bret Hart in the hall of fame, CM Punk to name a few.
Bret was actually Vince lol.
HHH wasn’t in charge when Bret came back; Vince was.
Also, Macho Man was dead when he was inducted into the HOF; he didn’t decide to come back with WWE, his family did.
Vince got Bret back though
@Risbo Turbidewell to be fair I do think Macho Man was teasing he’d work again with WWE just shortly before his death if I remember right
Next up: Sasha Banks and AJ Lee.
