The chances of Punk going back to WWE eventually are greater than going to ROH im afraid

Fuck Jay Lethal. and RoH. CM Punk 4 WWE.

Well, it would be awesome to have AJ Styles and CM Punk at Ring Of Honor after both leaving the top two companies in the biz

It would also be amazing to see them fight for the World Title at the Best in the World show too, sadly Punk's contract expires a month after.

I think Punk would rather work with Gabe and Colt.

HAS THERE EVER been a situation where a guy left WWE and the first place he landed was ROH? HAS THAT EVER HAPPEN IN THE HISTORY OF EARTH? EVER? Cause i can't recall it for the life of me. Yeah, i can recall where a guy who left WWE eventually ended up there, but not directly going from WWE to ROH. A main roster wrestler going from doing a PPV (Like Punk at the Rumble) to his next wrestling appearance being in ROH? It's never happened. It never will   

Jeff Hardy when he left WWE the first time went to ROH before he eventually went to TNA. Matt Hardy did the same thing before going BACK to WWE. Eddie Guerrero is another guy who went from WWE to ROH for a few shows before he returned to the 'E.

D'Lo Brown and Jimmy Wang Yang went from WWE straight to ROH.

I think the reason that normally doesn't happen is because a lot of the old ROH fans will hate on a former WWE guy and even more so if he works the WWE style. Look at Mike Mondo or someone like Mike Bennett who never was in WWE.

They actually embraced Mike Mondo, at least the times i saw him at shows or on tv. They dont like Mike Bennett cause he parades Maria around for everyone to gawk at.
