CM Punk was backstage at Raw tonight and spoke to HHH. The next week will be pretty interesting. 

Not getting carried away but imagine if it’s Roman-Punk for the title next year at Mania.

Just...why?  AEW, inexplicably, seem to be happy to accept him essentially giving the management a square go, after publicly but metaphorically pulling down Tony Khan's frillies in front of the assembled media, and maybe even give him his own show.  You'd think he'd just be happy enough to keep his head down for a couple of weeks and reap the barely deserved rewards.  But no.  He'd rather do an Enzo Amore and crash RAW for some reason.

That's assuming that AEW weren't in on it.

He's AEW's major star. The only one that moves the needle as it were. WWE have shown throughout the years that you can accept being mugged off if it's by the guy that can make you lots of cash.

Vince apparently wasn't at the show last night so I think the forcibly escorted off the premises stuff is just dirt sheet rumours.

This. Straight from the Eric Bischoff "controversy creates cash" playbook 

CM Punk loses his mouthpiece in Dax giving the weekly announcement of "All he wants to is work together. Do what's best for business." Then he turns up at Raw, and after the initial WTF reaction from everyone, the story is he was there to make amends with people.

All the stories from his friends, his IG posts, and now this is just screams rehabbing his public image.

Between this Cyberfight Festival & Forbidden Door June is stacked. This will be the 3rd iteration of All Together with the most recent in Febuary 2012. An age ago considering NOAH Starlet Kaito Kiyomiya was in middle school when it took place.

Apparently WWE are planning Cody-Roman for next year's mania again. 

 

Spoiler

Just...lol.  Like, the idea itself isn't bad at all.  You build this long story where he comes to terms with the loss, builds himself up, and has this amazing moment at WM in front of seventy squillion people.  Great.  But it really doesn't fill you with much hope for anything between now and then.  You've got to get things absolutely perfect with any of Reigns opponents going forward to not make it just seem like he's running through people with little jeopardy.  And looking at Smackdown's new roster after the draft, there's not a whole lot of names on there that you could have step up without significant build.  The only ready-made stars are maybe AJ Styles, Lashley and Sheamus to step up immediately.  Not bad matches, but nothing wow.  There's a few prospects like Pete Dunne, maybe even Grayson Waller, but still.  It also probably eliminates the possibility of Jey Uso being the guy to do it, which would've been a good story to tell.

I guess they're just hoping that with the new World title in there, people won't be as disappointed watching Roman get another 6-8 fairly standard defences.
