What's happening with cmpunk has he really left or is it part of a story line?

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

It's no storyline but will probably be incorporated in to one if he ever returns.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Shame if he has left for good, wonder how long it is before Daniel Bryan gets fed up with being screwed over every opportunity the company gets.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

It's a bit different for Bryan as Punk is older and pretty close to the age he wanted to retire at anyway.

Watching WWE Hall of Fame, in all the years I've watched it I have never seen anything like Jake the Snake's acceptance speech. Such a tragic waste of talent and life but you can see the guy has faced his demons square in the eye. Anyone starting out in the business needs to carefully study what he had to say to know of the pitfalls that can swallow them up. DDP clearly saved his life many times, let's hope he stays on the right track.

CM Punk to return tonight? Can you VPN the WWE network? I'm at work. Usually am for all PPVs now so isn't a big deal paying a years sub. Guessing you'll be naffed off when paying Via British bank or credit card. If anyone has suggestions for watching it on mobile. Do let me know.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

There are rumours he'll be there and have some sort of encounter with Stone Cold Steve Austin who is strongly rumoured to be part of the show - he's been photographed at the WWE hotel.

If Punk is going to be involved it has been very well hidden - apparently he is in the area but that could be something to do with AJ Lee.

I've always said the best RAW crowd is the one after 'Mania and this year is no exception. One day I WILL do the AXXESS/Mania weekend thing but it won't be complete without doing RAW too :)

This has to be WWE's best PPV/RAW combo in a long time - possibly ever.

Finally it looks like they've decided that listening to the fans is what's 'best for business'.

Not according to the stock market, apparently their shares went down $5 yesterday during trading.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

That was due to the figures being released for the WWE Network. They were hoping for 1 million by WM but only managed 600,000.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Yeah, taking 21 years of history and handing it to a battered UFC reject is what was best for business says the 20% slip on the stock market. one promo was gold, besides that it felt like a pretty normal raw.

600,000 in the US alone.. says it all. Now what? Lesnar retires, we persist with HHH inserting himself into every single storyline on the show.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

I agree that Lesnar was the wrong person to break the streak, in fact other than Bray Wyatt or Roman Reigns I can't think of anyone it should have gone to if it had to be ended at all.

But it was a massive swerve, we didn't see it coming and pro wrestling is all about playing on our emotions.

Plus according to reports it was Taker's choice to put Lesnar over.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

They seem to have plans for Reigns as a face. Whomever broke it would be a monster heel for however long needed, with lesnar that's wasted.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Yeah it would need to be heel but I mean in terms of what was being planned for whoever it was. Apparently Reigns is being groomed as the next 'Cena' (in a good way - maybe the next 'Rock' would be a better description) so big things are in store for him.

The only heel I can think of along those lines would be Wyatt.
