Punk's entire situation was this (hypothesis): From the beginning in 2019, his desire was to return to WWE, which is why he appeared on the WWE Backstage talk show and not in AEW that same year. Vince vetoed it and the pandemic arrived. Finally Tony Khan managed to sign him, and my perception was that Punk wanted and was going to be in AEW for a few years. Of course all the company's internal problems were there from the beginning, but outside of the console war I don't think the atmosphere backstage at AEW during Punk's run was as toxic as has been speculated. Suddenly all of Vince's shit appeared, he was removed and removed from office in 2022, and it coincides in time with All Out 2022, from here Punk's return to WWE would begin to be forged
