In all fairness though, Rousey has had her dead caved in twice in her last two fights with both knockouts turning into international memes, and WWE fans still go crazy for her. Cain Velasquez smacked Brock Lesnar so hard that he started breakdancing and then he got picked apart by Overeem, then a while later received the loudest pop I've ever heard in 20-odd years of watching wrestling.
I get that they were both UFC champions - which Punk will never be - but you can certainly still be a draw in wrestling after being embarrassed in the UFC. I don't think Punk will ever return to wrestling, and if he did, it wouldn't be for the money.
