    Rollins is down for Backstage, hopefully Punk will be on too if so should be interesting

    Has Punk been on it at all since he did the sit down interview?

    Punk I haven't watched wrestling in 5 years.

    On Twitter the new WWE signing said he can't wait to get in the ring opposite the most talented in the business.

    Punk's reply Will Ospreay is in NJPW.

    Not bad knowledge of who Ospreay is the if he hasn't watched wrestling 5 years.

    I took it as a shot at Seth based on his back and forth with Ospreay and the fact Rollins has been working an angle with Punk, or trying to anyway.

    I think you'd have to be born yesterday to believe Punk didn't watch any wrestling when he was away from it. He's not going to admit it to avoid sounding like a hypocrite.

    Must disagree there. It's really common to hear guys who left the business and watch very little of it when they're gone. Listen to Bruce, Tony or Eric with Conrad. None of them watched the business when they weren't involved.

    I am sure Punk saw SOME wrestling and kept an eye on the industry through twitter but I actually find it more far fetched that he was sitting down to watch Wrestlemania or the G1. I just can't imagine it. Seemed so burned out on wrestling.

    Or even other talents who moved on. Just recently Prichard mentioned Rick Martel who went into real estate.

    A day late it's 7 years since Punk finished with the WWE.

    Will he return on Sunday?

    More chance of AJ Lee being in the the women's rumble I'd say.

    I'd want this to happen just for a good laugh, but it's been done already...

    Plus you'd need a live crowd to get the best reaction

    If they can drown out Heyman with piped in boos for weeks, I'm sure they could manage for Rollins.

    Punk got himself a part in Arrow & Cody's tv show Heels.

    As a fan of Arrow and a fan of Punk, thats a good pairing :P

    Also a handy confirmation he's not going to be in you know what tonight.

    He has basically been crying out trying to get a big money offer off one of the companies over the last 6/8 months.

    Any you know he will probably get one if there's not already one on the table.

    WWE is in the ****s at the minute product wise, so I can easily see WWE making him an offer to inject their product with a bit of life.

    Im under no illusion that Punk's arrival in WWE will change how they use their product. He might be in a good position to gain some form of creative control though.

    Id like to see him in AEW, off the leash, just for the promos alone. I would question his ability in-ring after 7 years away, could be be an top attraction in-ring at his age?

    But no matter what he comes up with in WWE, Vince is gonna Vince and scrap any idea he doesn't like

    Which is why I could never see him accepting such a role there. Every one of his ideas being scrapped for something ridiculous, his ego would never let him work there under Vince.

    If he goes back to WWE, it’s only as on-screen talent I’d imagine. He could land any job he likes in AEW though.

    Mickie James was offered an agents job and she told them to stuff it as the agents get nothing but **** from each side and are glorified messengers and do all the dirty work for higher ups.

    I'd like to see Punk in WWE Creative for the lols alone once the inevitable fallout happens. Not a hope Punk could cope with Vince's on a whim bullsh1t.

    Punk as a creative mind in a smaller company like ROH or Impact could be the makings of them.

    Punk has recently admitted that a match with Will Ospreay "interests" him, after Ospreay issued the challenge.

    I wonder if Punk becomes a free agent will AJ bring him into WOW in some capacity, and help an unemployed wrestler out.


    WOW returned to TV on September 17th without much fanfare from the wrestling media
