WWE Hall of Famer discusses CM Punk’s return
Veteran WWE superstar Eric Bischoff has recently praised CM Punk’s return to WWE. Despite being a vocal critic of Punk during his time in AEW and describing him as a financial flop for the company, Bischoff explained on the latest episode of ‘Strictly Business’ that Punk has had the opposite effect in WWE.
According to him, Punk is now a bona fide draw for the sports entertainment promotion as he said, “I’m going to go on record right now in saying that the acquisition of CM Punk by WWE might be one of the most financially successful acquisitions in the history of professional wrestling. Whoa, did I say that?”
Although Bischoff’s opinion about the controversial star has changed, he still stands by his previous remarks regarding Punk’s run in AEW. Bischoff compared Punk’s recent return to WWE to his debut in AEW, highlighting that his current employer understands how to effectively capitalize on his full financial potential.
“The difference, and the answer to that question, lies in the CM Punk that I saw when he first showed up in AEW and the CM Punk I saw when he showed up in WWE. Two different people, two different shows, two different businesses. There are two different approaches to the product. One would not draw a dime or increase television revenues, which was true. It was absolutely true and accurate. And one, as of right now, two different situations completely,” said Eric Bischoff.
Bischoff claimed that WWE has successfully brought back CM Punk and that it has also worked creatively. However, given Punk’s controversial past, he hopes the company exercises caution.
