Lol, CM Punk’s situation with AEW is not a work. It’s made the company look terrible and has done (possibly irreversible) damage to them. It would get groans from so many fans. You can’t keep “going back.” Even if Punk was their biggest draw and one of their best performers, that’s compromised now.
Punk wouldn’t take it anyway. You can’t trust Tony Khan. He’ll take one side of an issue at Collision, take another at Dynamite (or All In with the glass). He is not a leader. Even if he promised Punk a stake in the company, there would be suspicion that TK would fuck him over.
AEW is desperate though. But it’ll take A LOT to get Punk to drop his plans. I imagine Punk would need to be given the authority to remove some of the problems backstage in a more permanent sense. Even then, is that enough to challenge the perception that AEW clearly has no idea what they’re doing if they flip-flop with Punk?
