>>5676917He waited for too damn long time to return. He wasn't mainstream, but he had a lot of hardcore fans, the thing is, most people who were his fans are probably not even watching wrestling anymore or were already watching AEW.
Besides, they used his first weeks in AEW just to appear, have a generic interview or have him on commentary. That was enough to lose any potential new viewer thanks to him. He should have been put againt someone who's able to talk right from the start, because he got popular mostly by talking. I've said that Kingston would have been a great first feud for him instead of Darby, just letting Kingston interrupt Punk on his second show at AEW and you start doing heated promos, which is why people wanted to see Punk again, but they went full retard with the "I love wrestling!!!! I love to wrestle the young guys in AEW!!!" for weeks, which was annoying as fuck
