They're going to get a huge ratings bump on Monday and on the upcoming weeks. I've seen many say Punk returning is the biggest surprise return of all-time. No one saw this coming. Whatever your feelings are for Punk, in the short term this will pay huge dividends for WWE. There's really no risk for them, as they've been putting up huge numbers in recent months anyway. I bet this will also help in television negotiations for SmackDown rights in the upcoming months.
I would love to see a future Cena/Punk match as well. They've built up such a rivalry over the years. If they don't want Punk in a title match at Mania, they could easily build that feud as a main event calibre match.
