IF the Meltzer report on Punk is true, and if both sides are worried about a damn non-compete. Allow me to say this familiar quote:
"If you think the grass is so greener on the other side, be my guest. Go ahead, leave. Main event Night 4 of a buy-one-get-one-free extravaganza."

No matter the era, the decade, or the city, the energy and connection between the People’s Champ and the People can never be broken and is truly an electrifying experience that creates chills every single time.

At the end of the day, I'll always be a fan of CM Punk as a performer. But I think CM Punk, the man, needs to go to therapy or some form of anger management.
When CM Punk walked out on WWE in 2014, he was seen by many of his fans (myself included) as the hero who rebelled

Look, I know my opinion means little on the subject. But what a woman wants to do behind her OnlyFans or BrandArmy or whatever shouldn't get them fired from the company they work for.
Mandy Rose deserved better than this.

And allow me to be perfectly clear. I love Punk. I've always been a fan. I definitely was in the camp that thought these four men would put their shit aside and make a ton of money in 2023. But if he doesn't want to play ball? Just let him go. It's not worth the drama.

In my opinion, this is why all this WWE RAW-WBD talk is just noise:
Currently, USA Network pays 265 million a year for RAW. WWE is going to be looking for at least 300 million a year for RAW to make their shareholders happy. They aren't gonna take a cut. That would be TERRIBLE

Of course Uncle Howdy attacked Bray Wyatt. The whole idea this entire time is that Howdy has been telling Wyatt to embrace who he is. Since he hasn't, he attacked him instead.

This isn't Okada's PWT store. It's run by New Japan. And since his contract with NJPW expires tomorrow, they no longer have the rights to sell his merchandise.

Having a locker room leader as part of a committee to make a big company decision makes sense to me because it says the owner gives a shit about what the locker room has to say.
