Bryan and Punk have a much more realistic style. Punk is obviously still getting up to speed but has been pretty impressive given his time away. Bryan is the absolute gold standard in wrestling at the moment though in my opinion. He can just seemlessly do anything in terms of character. It feels a bit soon to have him in a world title match, as they either have to pull the trigger or come up with a good way for him to lose.
Punk/MJF should be great as I imagine that pic of MJF getting Punks autograph will come up. It's a good pairing for MJF as I feel he can grow a hell of a lot from it. I'd put him with Bryan next too.
As for WWE, it's hilarious that the one match of interest (Flair/Lynch) is only interesting because of a completely unplanned spot. It makes a mockery of having a writing team. If they want to reduce costs, they should get rid of the writers and go back to a booking committee made up of people with wrestling experience.
I’m really liking the Arc Punks having in AEW, makes the build up (which I’m assume will come eventually) for the title even better.
I read an interview where he said coming back to WWE would have just been the standard Rumble appearance and Mania match. Whilst I’d still have liked that to be honest this is much better
