#4 He's better suited for commentary

CM Punk's forays into the world of commentary are legendary. He did great commentary on RAW, but when he showed up on some of the lower level shows, like Main Event or the game show version of NXT, he was just perfect. If you're a fan of Corey Graves, you would probably love what Punk did on commentary. Check out the video to see a highlight reel of that.

Punk could add a lot to the broadcasts in the way of comedy and analysis. He could even follow in the footsteps of a guy like Jerry 'The King' Lawler. While he sticks mostly to the commentary desk, he could occasionally get involved in storylines that pull him from behind the broadcast table and out into the ring.

That way, fans could get the best of both worlds, and at the same time he wouldn't be taking up the spotlight like the 'old men' he had complained about in years past. He's not extraordinarily old (he will be 41 at the end of October, making him a year and a half younger than AJ Styles) but pro wrestling is a young man's business, and Punk knows that.

If WWE were to bring him back, but had no designs on using him in the commentary booth (being the third for Mauro and Nigel in NXT would be a great fit), it would not be worth the investment.
