I had a "what if" scenario that popped into my head... but then I recently saw there was some video posted proposing it, and its one of those things that sound dumber when it's actually said aloud.

They posited that CM Punk wasn't really fired; that it was all a work and the dude in the MJF devil mask is him.

As fun as it sounds, it requires one teeny tiny idea to do heavy lifting- that everyone is in on it.

Almost like the "Montreal was a work" point of view, you would need to believe that The Bucks taking a "victory lap", Jungle Boy being a shithead, and TK McTwitterfit losing his mind on social media are all part of some long-term, grandiose plan to build Punk vs MJF III instead of the shit they usually pull. The people they "push" like Wardlow have been stoppy starty, and everyone else is usually just booked in matches with the "wouldn't it be cool if...?" or "hey, you're not doing anything, and he's not doing anything, so why don't you do a bunch of flips?" kind of shows strung together.

People want to suspend disbelief for some semblance of kayfabe, but this ain't it.
