Remember, those of us who are eternally online make up a small minority of WWE's fan base, most of them are just going to see CM Punk has returned.
I think WWE believes, and they are probably right, that they can keep a handle on him better than AEW did because he's not going to be treated like the biggest deal in the company in WWE.
I'd also wager there are a few guys that would want to immediately break a foot off in his ass just to keep him in line. "You ain't pulling that shit here, Phil."
Please let this eventual footage land on YouTube lol
There's some truth to that, but I don't think it will stop Punk from exploding again. Hell, not being treated like the star he sees himself as might set him off sooner.
Though it will be significantly less damaging to WWE when he does, since, like you said, he's not the biggest name there.
Plus, if he has a fit there he'll just vindicate HHH and Vince saying he was more trouble than he's worth all those years ago.
Low key, if I were HHH, and a worse person, I'd fuck with him in very slight ways to feed his paranoia and make him explode just to drive home the point that he's not worth having around.
