It’s the “season premiere” of WrestleRant Radio (okay, not really), and Graham “GSM” Matthews and RJ Marceau are ushering in the next era! They open the episode with their thoughts on the “Will he or won’t he?” situation regarding the latest CM Punk-WWE updates, the likelihood of if we’ll see him back and when, if he’s worth the risk and whether pushing him right out of the gate sends the wrong message to the rest of the roster, his best possible opponent for WrestleMania 40 if he returns by then, and much more.

The duo also discuss last weekend’s WWE Fastlane pay-per-view event, specifically the Seth Rollins dilemma with a certain contingent of fans getting tired of his World Heavyweight Championship reign.
