CM Punk has been a recurring theme of interest in the WWE Universe for the last few days. From building up heat around his esteemed return at the Stamford-based company following a humiliating AEW removal to finally entering the company ring through a groundbreaking Survivor Series segment, Punk just didn’t let the crowd take their eyes off him. But if that hype also means taking his so-called haters in his favor, it also forces us to be heedful.
And that happened to be the case as Punk’s vocal critique started to sing to the tune of the Chicago-based star in his recent references.

Eric Bischoff predicted a massive character shift for CM Punk in WWE
Also, Bischoff foresaw a major prospect in Punk in his renewed tenure in the Stamford-based company.
CM Punk has been a massive point of discussion in the WWE world for the last couple of days. His staggering return caught everyone off guard and established him in a heroic grandeur to the fans and most oddly to the haters as well.
When it comes to Punk’s haters, Eric Bischoff came among the top.
He lambasted Punk AEW run in the past but in the case of WWE, Bischoff thinks differently.
He believes The Devil is going to be a jackpot for Vince McMahon’s promotion. He noted that the Punk in AEW and the Punk in WWE are completely two different entities in terms of approaches, abilities, and everything in between.

On the latest episode of ‘Strictly Business’, the Hall of Famer noted, ”The CM Punk that I saw when he first showed up in AEW, and the CM Punk I saw when he showed up in WWE. Two different people, two different shows, two different businesses. Two different approaches to the product. One would not draw a dime or increase television revenues — which was true. It was true and accurate. And one, as of right now, two different situations completely.”
