#2 Why he will - He has a chance to be a part of a revolution

Make no mistake about it, CM Punk loved wrestling, and probably more than most. He dedicated himself to his craft for many years, long before WWE ever came calling, long before money ever came rolling in. Wrestling is in his blood and as much as he claims to have moved on from the sport he gave his everything to, he won't ever truly move on from his first love.

CM Punk is hurt by professional wrestling because he gave it his entire heart. Like a bride left jilted at the altar without a groom, there are tears, bitterness, and lifelong heartache.

The wrestling landscape, however, has changed since 2014 and AEW has a legitimate chance to drastically alter the business. This is a real revolution in professional wrestling and AEW has a better chance of making long lasting changes with CM Punk on their side.


#2 Why he won't - There aren't enough eyes on the product

AEW has taken the internet by storm. Wrestling fans are buying the company's t-shirts in droves and the newfound WWE competitor is the talk of the town, but in the professional wrestling business cold hard numbers mean everything.

AEW gave their last pay-per-view (Fyter Fest) away for FREE and while the numbers were impressive for an independent promotion, the company has been set up as competition for WWE, and failed to generate the audience that would require.

CM Punk would make a difference; but, why would he return to a company that currently attracts less viewers than Total Divas?
