Just a matter of time before he blows up - Wrestling veteran comments on the possibility of CM Punk returning to WWE Exclusive

Triple H (left), Cm Punk (right) The recent controversial events surrounding in AEW have seemingly strengthened his possibility of joining WWE. However, Dutch vehemently disagreed with the idea, citing specific reasons. Reports of the Second City Saint potentially returning to the Stamford-based promotion recently surfaced after Triple H's stance on the matter apparently softened. It should be noted that Punk left his previous promotion on unpleasant terms as he was frustrated with the company. On the latest edition of Sportskeeda's SmackTalk, Dutch Mantell said that the possibility of Punk joining Triple H's roster is slim if not none. The veteran stated his reasons succinctly and said if the Stamford-based promotion signs The Second City Saint, it would give AEW all the added promotion. "Not no, but hell no... You never say there is no chance, especially in wrestling. You never say never. But I don't think, because if they brought him that would be the story overshadowing WWE. Why would they bring in a guy who had all this trouble in AEW. Plus it would give AEW all this added promotion, they'd throw all of that added promotion and attention on to AEW which WWE of course wants to keep to a minimum. I am sure there's some people out there who have never even heard of AEW." The veteran continued: "Why would they take this guy who couldn't make a go of it, or couldn't get long, long enough that AEW to work out his contract. Why would WWE bring in a powder keg, and it's just a matter of time before he blows up."
