'I'm coming back': AEW star CM Punk on new show, injuries and the elephants in the room

CM Punk, who makes his return to the promotion after 10 months off, has plenty to say about his peers and a new night on TV for wrestling.

He's really pushing the line that he thought Hangman was going to shoot on him, and the match sucked because he was trying to "defend himself", huh?

Yeah, sure. I know that, when I need to defend myself against a potential violent attack, my go-to move is botching the Buckshot Lariat twice.
What a secure and reasonable sounding guy with absolutely no narcissistic red flags. Clearly this is everyone else's fault but his.
Fuck Punk. I was a big fan, he cut his teeth in my part of the country and I've been there every step of the way. The level of unprofessionalism he showed in Sept should have kept him off my TV for the rest of his contract. It's not even heel heat, I just don't want to see him. He's like that asshole co-worker that you ignore as much as possible and can't wait until he leaves.
It blows my mind that they think he's going to be a face. He might be tonight in Chicago but I don't see it happening long term.
