He might have baited the fanbase into hating Seth which could be an even funnier outcome.

Seth has been dead before.

Seth used to die on TV every week and they would just decant another Seth clone from the vats in the back.

They have to use up the Seths they still have or they won't get new Seths from the next crop.

It [his WWE NXT TV debut] was great. I was just sitting in it and I'm backstage thinking 'Is this real?' I spent, and this isn't a knock on anybody, but I spent so many months of my career at the previous company, just second-guessing myself. Am I really any good? Am I worth it? A lot of self-doubt. And just to see how my career has done a total 180 since then [is incredible].

"I went from just sitting in the back and filming a few dark matches in Orlando here and there. Six-minute tag matches, barely getting in the ring and feeling the canvas to now, I'm sitting on a throne, making my entrance. In the biggest wrestling company in the world, they have this confidence in me. And it fuels me, now I have confidence in myself.

"Hell, they gave me the name King! It doesn't get any better than that. So just to feel that 180 and go out there and perform with a certain level of grit and attitude. You know, I'm going to prove everyone one wrong, everyone who didn't believe in me, It's a dream come true."

Has Punk done anything remotely interesting since going back to WWE/do they appear to be setting anything up? Feels like I haven't heard a god drat thing about the guy for weeks.

Not really. All he has done is cut a few promos in ring. He cut one on Drew last week iirc. He wasn't on the show this week.
His only two matches were house shows

AEW didn’t have the infrastructure to unlock Lexis King’s potential. Not having a world class Performance Center is going to hurt AEW in the long run when WWE is churning out new Superstars on a weekly basis

Which he did throughout his career. He got tons of opportunities in AEW and was constantly poo poo.

The answer to the question "am I good enough" is a resounding NO.

Beepie was at one of my local indies pretty regularly for about 18 months and got pushed hard; he won a big tournament to win a title and beat guys like Lee Moriarty. He was also in every battle royale and would normally end up in the final 4 and usually eliminated some big guy.

Then by the end of his run you could almost feel the fatigue and he was getting booed against Cole Karter of all people.

I hope Cody re-uses the promo from before the ladder match in AEW that was very obviously meant for Punk but he decided to leave before they could do that feud. It wouldn't make any more sense than that promo did originally, but it would be very funny.

Jinder needs to start using an app with all the WWE stars where if he swipes left on them they are safe and if he swipes right then he is going to kick their rear end.
