Punk/Shield

By Scott Keith on 25 March 2025
Hey Scott,

1) How do they get Punk cashing in on his favor from Heyman without turning him heel?

I mean it doesn’t really make sense to turn him, especially after Cena just turned. I do like how they’re referencing history though and mentioning how he brought in the Shield. Speaking of the Shield, that brings me to my second point.

2) Looking at how the Shield turned it out, kind of interesting how Reigns became the best character, Rollins best in ring wrestler, and Ambrose bad in both areas. I think Moxley is actively hurting his company right now and it’s not just the current angle. The garbage death match fake tough guy violence thing has been really lame for far too long. Thoughts?

It’s OK to be sick of Moxley and his current never ending storyline without him being “bad”.  He just needs to do something different.  He can still talk and tends to wrestle up to the level of his opponents.  
As for Punk, I still have no idea where they’re going with the Heyman thing, but he can and probably should go heel again at some point before he hangs it up and becomes a trainer.
