#3 Could Help the WWE : Keeping him out of All Elite Wrestling.
For the first time in almost two decades, the WWE is facing serious competition for the lucrative North American pro wrestling marketplace.
In a chilly Tokyo, Japan, the Elite strode out on January 1st 2019 to announce the formation of their own wrestling promotion, All Elite Wrestling. Building on the success of their independent wrestling show All In, the former Bullet Club members decided to take things to the next level.
With AEW looming as a potential rival, the WWE must do all it can to keep CM Punk out of their hands, and off of their roster. He represents a huge playing piece in the game of sports entertainment, and it might be worth the trouble of rehiring him just to keep him out of AEW.
