AEW News Roundup: Interesting role proposed for Bray Wyatt, CM Punk hints at more signings

#5 Jim Cornette recently praised CM Punk's AEW debut

CM Punk made his return to pro wrestling on AEW Rampage last week. Punk's return in front of his hometown fans was a spectacle to behold, and even outspoken AEW critic Jim Cornette was impressed, saying that CM Punk's debut was "perfect".

Speaking on his podcast, The Jim Cornette Experience, the veteran manager explained why CM Punk's AEW debut worked so well:

"It wasn't the way I would have done it, it was a lot better. It was perfect. I said it wasn't the way I would have done it and I said it was better and here's why, I think I told you on the phone last week, obviously everybody was pretty certain he was going to be there - the question was how and to do what? I said I wonder how this is going to be... this surprise is going to be sprung, is going to be revealed or unveiled... what manner is he going to make his debut? What I would have done was, since they know what the surprise is, surprise them in the way they get the surprise... make it to build to some moment and then... they couldn't hear the ****ing music after that anyway," said Jim Cornette.

Jim Cornette also compared the reception Punk got in Chicago to that John Cena got on his recent WWE return. You can check that out HERE.
