There isn't a right/wrong answer to the "Punk came back too soon" debate. It needs to be viewed from two perspectives.
From a storytelling/plot development POV it probably was too soon. The story would likely have benefited from having Punk away longer and making a surprise return. Pretty sure if this were a normal TV show we wouldn't have seen Punk for a few episodes and he'd have returned in shock fashion in the season finale. But it's not normal TV, it's "sports entertainment".
Which brings us to the "business POV". Stirke whilst the iron is hot. The crowd are hot for Punk - both to cheer or jeer depending on their outook. WWE cannot risk that interest cooling off.

On semi-related note, I found it interesting that he came from backstage with theme music and a tron (both "new" to boot). Does that tell us that Punk has re-signed with WWE? Does he have "corporate backing"? Did HHH bring him back? If so, why? Are the two in cahoots?
