In storyline terms, why would Punk come back if he didn't have a contract? The WWE already has their new champion, they don't need him, so why put him on their show (again, in storyline terms) if they didn't have him under contract?
In storyline terms, he has to be under contract, otherwise things don't make sense.
Punk's had like a month of this kind of momentum. Hardly comparable. This early in the game, you wanna work towards maintaining that heat at all costs rather than playing silly games to build towards a show that's going to draw no matter what.you meeeaaannn take him out now at the height of his blazing hot heat, and have him return out of nowere to an amazing defeaning reaction>
As has been repeated, how do you keep this going? by taking him away, and providing a giant spike for WM.
He will probably be over ten times when he comes back. I mean, I can show countless examples of it happening. Hey there, Triple H from 2002 and 2007, how are you dude?
The original reports also deal with Punk being burned out because he was being marginalized. Assuming they intend to keep him this hot, why would he not have resigned?
Where the heat he's gained of the course of two measly months could fade away, giving the gun shy decision makers justification for marginalizing him upon his return?and he was, and they promised to utilize him better. So methinks he has commited to re-signing after some time off.
By god....it was literally a commercial, complete with "don't drink and drive" warnings on the bottom of the screen and all. Crazy. When did WWE become Keystone Light's bitch?
JIM ROSS! Yeah baby. I sincerely hope this is a PERMANENT addition/replacement to the commentary booth. Seriously.
Fuck Jim Ross. Every time he gets brought back, it makes it that much harder for people to accept the current crop of commentators. How many times do we need to rip this fucking band-aid off?
to crown the real champion? Punk says he is the rightful champ, and has a point + the "real" WWE title.
Punk wants to stick it in their craw one more time that he is the best, and then leave forever?
perfect sense. very old school, as well.
I did think it was a bit quick to bring Punk back. I mean, it was 8 days ago. It looks like it'll be at Summerslam and I can see what their thinking is, but I'm not sure I agree with it.
I hate to say it, but the WWE will be better when Jim Ross is dead.
Don't look at me like that. You people push me to this every time you have that knee-jerk reaction to the latest JR return.
Better to have him on now than to have people forget about him. He's got heat right now, the WWE needs to play that out. If you hold him off, you don't get a proper Summerslam build, and fans will have forgotten the fact he's supposed have heat.

No. No. Punk's too smart for that.
Not if someone important sees dollar signs on him. And a Cult of Personality like him will surely make someone a believer (if he hasn't already).So then he also realizes the only reason this is happening in the first place is a little knob slob to get him to re-sign, and it will run out of gas by Survivor Series?
You know, the shame of CM Punk coming back at the end of the show is that it's overshadowing the very good main-event that Cena won. I was surprised Mysterio controlled so much of the offense in the match, but I thought he and Cena did some very creative and entertaining things. I was quite pleased with both Mysterio matches tonight.

It was delicious. Mysterio-Cena in a main event is years overdue and it lived up to its potential. In addition, Mysterio winning world titles after people ran him down as a one hit wonder always thrills me.You know, the shame of CM Punk coming back at the end of the show is that it's overshadowing the very good main-event that Cena won.
