There were some interesting drops in the press conference by HHH. I'm a different person he's a different person. Also as he said, we'll bring in anyone that wants to do business.
The WWE doesn't need to bring Punk in for ratings, or PLE buys, they're both extremely high right now. There's not a threatening competitor to them right now. They certainly don't have weak rosters or weak upper cards right now.
As HHH also stated this is a wwe, which is a strong bomb at Vince's feet who was infamous for stirring the pot back stage.
We know that Punk is older, he's getting to that point of being injury prone, but again he is a conversation starter and he can pop an audience, and he's someone that they can have him feud through out the card and its going to work. This feels like an indulgence signing. For the WWE because they can, for Punk, its an I told you so that he can function in WWE and pop the card.
I very much doubt that there will be much focus on his time in AEW, the WWE doesn't need to do that. It will be interesting to see if AEW uses it, they can't seem to resist it.
Now, bring back AJ.
