Let's be real, multiple people said horrible things about wwe in other places but then they came back like a hero, it's wrestling and it's life, You say horrible things about people and often then you patch things up, it's life
Regarding him feeling good to be home, sometimes you have to experience some bad situations to appreciate what you left. Also just get things out of your system
I’m glad Booker and Gilmore didn’t throw Punk under the bus/bury him like they have in past episodes. Now, that reaction he got Saturday night was iconic. There are very few that could the same if not top it (Austin, Rock, Hogan to name a few). This is a win-win for Punk and WWE so I’m looking forward to what the future holds.
By reading the comments i think its safe to say we all agree that Booker is totally a company man lol. He tries hard to hide it but hes not very good at it lol.
When rock, undertaker, Bret, hbk, Cena, randy, stone cold, brock Lesnar etc doesn't have problem with you and have respect for your work.. It says allot about you.. Punk is very old school... He's problem with wwe was his ego clashing with triple h's ego... Not unprofessional behavior in locker room... punk acts like locker room leader? 😂So what? Punk is second most popular star after Cena this generation... He's the definition of polarised wrestler which wwe brands roman reigns as...
@dwaynejones7266you smoking crack he was selling more merch than Cena, literally the face of the face of the company, was still selling more up until after they turned him heel
I’m now 45 yrs old and will never forget the joy you two and professional wrestling as a whole gave me in my youth. The love and respect that I have for you will always be there until my dying day. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND GOD BLESS
I'm not surprised in the slightest with Punk calling WWE home. 10 years ago that relationship disintegrated in epic fashion but his career was at its peak then. And calling WWE home was a way to chum up to viewers. HHH also said Punk was "home where he belongs." That is a good marketing narrative to have. There probably truth to that too
I should hope so. I think maybe Punk rubbed him the wrong way back in the day but he’s obviously much older and wiser now. Punk gets a bad rap, partly because of his mouth and partly because he’s outspoken and believes in himself. Maybe it was professional jealousy? Not for me to say. But Booker and Punk are legitimately two of my all time favorites and it kind of pains me to know there might still be some lingering animosity there.
Bret Hart shitted on WWE, Warrior shitted in WWE, Hogan sued ! Hell everyone talks shit and comes back . Tony’s worse business decision was listening to children & firing his biggest star . Welcome back Punk , can’t wait to see where this all goes
Booker should apologize for purposly dropping food on the locker room floor to piss off punk That was childish, you were in the wrong and its time to own up
Eat them words Brad 🤣 not too long ago you was saying no he’s not coming back he’s better off walking his dog or something like that! Brads a good guy though but eat them words man!😅
I’m excited to see Punk back in WWE, but it’s so strange. Two years ago he said he came from a company that he was never going to be healthy in. Now he’s back IN that company and he said “I’m home.” Like make up your mind dude!!😂
Booker T hates CM Punk as well as Triple H but they know they got to put their differences aside for business because both of them can relate because they're both in the same business
It may or may not be genuine but to me it doesn’t matter. It isn’t a new thing that guys leave WWE and trash it only to return. But I could see him appreciating WWE more now than before because his personality was always a WWE more than AEW. Punk has always been a guy who gets into conflict for what he think is best for business and in WWE he may have lost the fights but there was always somebody to put their foot down. In AEW Matt Hardy on his podcast has said that Tony will kill an idea that he wants to do if a wrestler says they don’t want to do it. If you’re Punk and you e always been up to fight over an idea you think is best going to a place where the boss will brush aside the best business move to accommodate personal feelings may lead to appreciating the other place more. And we’ve all had that where we think one job is the worst thing ever onto to appreciate that job way more when we move on and experience a diffeent place. So maybe he’s full of it and I don’t care but I could also totally see him appreciating WWE more now after seeing how much worse the entire Elite conflict turned out to be when the person who handled it is a boss who will put feelings over the business. Keep in mind you’re expecting a guy who came from a company that did a story line within months between edge and Matt hardy and trusted them to be professionals to be cool with a story that could’ve been used like their conflict to do huge business being passed on for personal feelings?
It makes sense he calls WWE home though. Bro spent more time in WWE than any other place as far as I know....and it's also the company that turned him into a true superstar.
I don’t think cm punk hated wwe i mean he did years ago when he got fired and got hurt against ryback and sued and won but after that it was a wwe thing that they didn’t want him back. But only way cm punk went to aew is to get WWE
When he went to AEW, Punk took every opportunity to bash WWE. He even went so far as to say the company was killing him, and that he'd rather retire for good than go back there. And yet, here he is....back in WWE.
@@decepticonxhunter4850 I mean, that isn't true. He definitely didn't take overt shots the way some others have like Moxley, Brodie Lee, Cody Rhodes etc. He only took shots that were set up for him as part of storylines like against MJF, where one of his character traits at the time was boasting about possibly signing with WWE in 2024 for heat. I think he is back in WWE literally just to spite the EVPs, which is understandable, since they blew that one by being immature children. He probably would have never gone back otherwise.
Hes back coz vince aint there thats 1 of the reason guaranteed without question. I think triple h knows he bring the ratings through the roof just by appearing let alone a match.
Let me ask you this, Booker. If you were in Punk’s shoes in AEW, how would you have handled things? We all know you can fight. Certainly better than Phil, and he’s not even a slouch compared to the average man.
Well, first off....there are golf courses with green grass in Arizona.... Just sayin... My feeling is this, I think he is going to become the exact character the "hardcore" fans never wanted to see him become. He's going to say things like "I'm home" just to make the kind of fans he used to cater to most angry, and become the exact corporate, "John Cena" esque "Sellout" version of himself on purpose, as a dig at fans of The Elite, and make a ton of money doing it, as a shot at Tony Khan himself. He screwed up big time firing Punk literally the day of a show in Chicago, and Punk is going to hit him where it hurts by taking his biggest fans with him back to the competition The way I see it, he probably still has hard feelings for WWE, and probably wrestling in general, so now if he's gonna do it just as a "job", he might as well do it somewhere that is going to pay him, and get back at the EVPs by taking his business to the direct competition. In an ideal world for me, WWE would be good, AEW would be good, lots of companies would be good, and I'd watch them all and enjoy them all.
wwe will take him back if he will bring in money. for him is a different story, going back after bad mouthing about wwe is like running back with his tail between his legs. the lesson here is never bad mouthing about your ex employer. you never know when you're going back.
In order to keep getting them wwe checks, some gotta buck dance for hunter even if that means trashing punk. Now punks in wwe, so ppl can stop bashing him.
After going to a place as unprofessional and childish as AEW for Punk being back in WWE were things have structure will feel like Home. Is it perfect? No but knowing that your boss isn't a petulant child that can't bring order must be a relief.
1:40 STOP right there. Punk was given everything in AEW, don't tell me he wasn't. Look he made his bed and now he's on his best behavior cause this is it for him, Book. Again shit-talking TNA, it gave you another chance at RELEVENCY.
To quote Cody Rhodes: “Sometimes a man meets his destiny on the path he chose to avoid.”
Master Oogway
Let's be real, multiple people said horrible things about wwe in other places but then they came back like a hero, it's wrestling and it's life, You say horrible things about people and often then you patch things up, it's life
Ultimate warrior prime example
Regarding him feeling good to be home, sometimes you have to experience some bad situations to appreciate what you left. Also just get things out of your system
The best retur of the year was Booker T in the Royal Rumble
Thanks 🙏
Certain attitudes aside, the guy sells and sells very well, plus he's already secured a top-selling territory like Chicago.
I can digg that
Facts.
I’m glad Booker and Gilmore didn’t throw Punk under the bus/bury him like they have in past episodes. Now, that reaction he got Saturday night was iconic. There are very few that could the same if not top it (Austin, Rock, Hogan to name a few). This is a win-win for Punk and WWE so I’m looking forward to what the future holds.
Booker works for WWE … he would get heat if he buried a very marketable guy for the company
Book is a company guy. He know if he said anything about Punk now the WWE would press the ish out of him and he'd apologize for his comments.
By reading the comments i think its safe to say we all agree that Booker is totally a company man lol. He tries hard to hide it but hes not very good at it lol.
Didn't Booker talk shit about Punk over stepping boundaries and trying to be a "locker room leader"
Sure did lol said a lot of nonsense about him too. Booker claims to be real as it gets but really all he is is a 2 faced poser
When rock, undertaker, Bret, hbk, Cena, randy, stone cold, brock Lesnar etc doesn't have problem with you and have respect for your work.. It says allot about you..
Punk is very old school... He's problem with wwe was his ego clashing with triple h's ego... Not unprofessional behavior in locker room...
punk acts like locker room leader? 😂So what? Punk is second most popular star after Cena this generation... He's the definition of polarised wrestler which wwe brands roman reigns as...
Yep. Put him in check years ago. As long as he doesn’t cause any issues here won’t be any problems
@dwaynejones7266you smoking crack he was selling more merch than Cena, literally the face of the face of the company, was still selling more up until after they turned him heel
To be fair, Book isn't known for consistent or even good views on the wrestling business
Cm Punk is the face of sports entertainment.
I’m now 45 yrs old and will never forget the joy you two and professional wrestling as a whole gave me in my youth. The love and respect that I have for you will always be there until my dying day. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND GOD BLESS
Seth vs Punk for the title. Now can you dig that sucker!!! 😅
👏👏👏👏
I'm not surprised in the slightest with Punk calling WWE home. 10 years ago that relationship disintegrated in epic fashion but his career was at its peak then. And calling WWE home was a way to chum up to viewers. HHH also said Punk was "home where he belongs." That is a good marketing narrative to have. There probably truth to that too
Look forward to seeing how it goes now
it will go good! Don't worry @@RealityOfWrestling
Brad really has it in for punk 😂😂🤣
And booker lmao
Booker T always kept it real abt punk he doesn’t agree with some of his antics but I feel like he always sort of respected punk .
I should hope so. I think maybe Punk rubbed him the wrong way back in the day but he’s obviously much older and wiser now. Punk gets a bad rap, partly because of his mouth and partly because he’s outspoken and believes in himself. Maybe it was professional jealousy? Not for me to say.

Booker should apologize for purposly dropping food on the locker room floor to piss off punk
That was childish, you were in the wrong and its time to own up
Booker was probably feeling a little threatened and felt the need to throw his weight around. Petulant, albeit somewhat professional jealousy.
Is this on espn radio?!
As a wise man once said "Enemy of my enemy is a friend"
booker t.. love ya brutha
They all come back to WWE. Hogan, Hall, Nash, Bret Hart, Ultimate Warrior, Stone Cold, etc.
Eat them words Brad 🤣 not too long ago you was saying no he’s not coming back he’s better off walking his dog or something like that! Brads a good guy though but eat them words man!😅

I hope things will smooth over with time. Punk is not a bad guy, just brutally honest and knows his worth.

I don't watch wwe without Steve and punk
It makes sense he calls WWE home though.

This is Major. We missed a spoiler. A WISE MAN ONCE TOLD HIM. Heyman will turn on Roman,and help out Punk on top,with Paul by hide side.
Water will never turn grass green, at least not alone. You need water and nutrients/ plant food
Hes back coz vince aint there thats 1 of the reason guaranteed without question. I think triple h knows he bring the ratings through the roof just by appearing let alone a match.
As always booker siding with wwe . They do sign his checks
;)
Let me ask you this, Booker. If you were in Punk’s shoes in AEW, how would you have handled things? We all know you can fight. Certainly better than Phil, and he’s not even a slouch compared to the average man.
Where's Stevie Ray?

Booker t is also a hypocrite as well
The bingo hall ECW is his home
