00:00 CM Punk is officially the face of the WWE.
00:02 Well, pump the brakes a little bit there.
00:04 The reason they were able to bring in CM Punk
00:07 and it be a flex and not a desperation move
00:09 is because of what Roman Reigns has done.
00:12 He doesn't even have to appear and he's still a big deal.
00:15 You are living in the past, brother.
00:17 He is not the face of the company anymore.
00:19 He's not even on the shows.
00:20 That's the point.
00:21 He's not even on the shows and people still talk about him.
00:23 People talk about who?
00:24 People aren't clicking, searching for Roman Reigns
00:26 this weekend.
00:27 They were searching for CM Punk.
00:28 And I can make a case of two biggest viral moments this year.
00:31 When The Rock came back, when CM Punk came back,
00:33 guess who was missing?
00:34 Your guy, the part-time tribal chief.
00:36 I thought CM Punk's promo was a little underwhelming.
00:38 I get it.
00:39 It's a slow build and they can do that.
00:41 And the return was a super surprise.
00:43 You took the words right out of my mouth.
00:45 Surprise.
00:45 You don't know what CM Punk is gonna say,
00:47 what he's gonna do.
00:48 Whereas the tribal chief has been running the same game
00:51 in every single one of his matches we've seen this year.
00:53 CM Punk is box office and he seems happy as hell.
00:56 And that's scary for the rest of the WWE roster.
