Gotta give Punk time for the money to run out. His wife has a book deal, so that is extending things a bit, but we'll see.

After years in the WWE, a UFC contract, the comic books stuff and merchandise he can still move if needed, I don't think he'll run out of money.
 
Honestly I think the UFC thing going down how it did only hurt Punk's chances of ever coming back

Can't see him wanting to come back "as a loser" or something.

I could see Punk back in the UFC. Dana has no integrity and neither does Phil, they'll make a deal no matter what they say.

Dana has more integrity than that though. Putting Punk back in the ring at the level of UFC would be putting someone at risk, either Punk or his opponent.
 
Vince wouldn't know what to do with hero.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Punk will return to the WWE and live long enough to see himself become the villain, AKA, the part-timer taking away the big spots from the guys working 24/7.

lmfao

It's okay to just say you don't follow MMA, friends

I mean, I don't as much as the next guy, but from what I've seen I'd like to think he's got enough integrity to protect his fighters from being hurt by someone too green. Plus, I seriously doubt the money is there in another CM Punk fight.
 
caught up on this week's raw and smackdown and holy shit the JeriKO segment was so good. they literally had a Waynes Word/Bill and Ted best bro moment when they both said "Roman Reigns" at the same time lmao. that was amazing.

few more takes

- Seth Rollins/KO match was freaking dope. two of the best just going at it, nice fuckery from Jericho as well

- alright it's time to take the mic away from sasha. why is this girl from boston sounding like Borat whenever she speaks publicly? what is with this bizarre eastern european accent she has going on. i know we get tired of a charlotte reign sometimes but she really is the most (and only) qualified woman to be champion at Raw right now. promo queen and tbh she's improving on the wrestling front over bayley and sasha as well.

- smackdown woman's division, no problems here. alexa bliss is dope, becky is adorable. the others are pretty good. business as usual.

- Ellsworth da gawd. the match between him and AJ was entertaining. AJ is the best man, totally sold that fall of the ladder looking deadly, and then getting caught in the ropes later. the best.

- I really like Dean when he's not wrestling, dude is hella entertaining until he becomes the lunatic noodle in ring. makes me conflicted about him.

I think the idea of Punk's redemption would draw and, man, if there's any money to be made Dana WILL go for it. I mean, Brock Lesnar had a title shot with a 2 - 1 record. Dana doesn't give a shit.

Yeah, but Brock is Brock and Dana saw the same once in a lifetime athlete in him everyone but the NFL did.

I could see an angle for CM Punk's redemption, but man it would have to be done right. Bring him back in some lower level fights....hell, put him through a Ultimate Fighter season and see if he lasts. I just seriously doubt Dana would give him another high profile match right off the bat.
 
The sad part is that last night would have been fine for a Revival debut if Shane or Daniel came out to announce they had one more tag-team to fight compared to whatever they probably will end up getting.

Edit: Although honestly I think they will be handled fine on the main roster.

What if last night was laying the seeds for Ambrose vs Shane at 'Mania?

As previously discussed, Shane McMahon is one of the best pure strikers in the WWE, only a tier below that of The Undertaker. Notice the adept footwork, pinpoint accuracy and the power from his pivot.

Now, look at Brian Pillman Lite. Feet firmly planted, generating no torque on his strikes, which loop wildly with no sure intent behind them.

I understand he's attempting to adapt the use of off-kilter backhand strikes, as popularized by Chris Weidman, to throw off the timing of his opponent, but he's failed miserably in his application.
 
What I find funny about Shane's punches is not only do they look awful, but they're often shoot punches too. He busted open Jericho's nose on Sunday, and you could tell he was actually hitting Braun as well.

Personally, during that spot I was hoping Braun would get pissed and pull a Vader.
