Again, it is what happens when you have children running a show.
Think about it like this.
Punk goes to AEW. Major pop.
Gets into a fight with the Young Bucks and Omega THE NIGHT THEY WON TRIOS TITLES THAT THEY WANTED INTRODUCED. Because of this, they had to relinquish those titles and were "suspended".
Punk then has to go away because of his surgery. So much bickering between everyone but everyone in the IWC agrees that if he comes back, they have to run a program between all of them because it's what will generate so much money, revenue, press, etc.
Punk comes back but because of the Elite's immaturity, he is "banished" to Collision (which is actually way better for him because he could "run" a show with how he sees fit. The show is actually better with storylines) and there is no chance at profiting from that feud because the EVP's are spoiled assholes and the owner, who wants to just be their friends, can't moderate the situation either.
Punk then goes to England and gets into a fight with one of the Four original foundations of the company. That foundation is suspended and Punk is fired.
He then takes three months off, lets his body heal, gets in what seems to be great shape, comes back at a PLE, garners a much larger pop than the first time because not surprising, IT IS A PACKED HOUSE and was UNANNOUNCED.
The Part that I love is the Young Bucks created this mess and now it's going to be one of the best storylines of the past 10 years. All because the EVP's of a major wrestling promotion couldn't get out of their own way.
