I know I'm beating a dead horse, but how would book CM Punk's debut in AEW?

Note that I'm awful at fantasy booking.
I always like a good masked man angle. Someone starts coming in and interfering, then runs off into the back. No one can find him because he jumps in a car and runs off. Do this for a month or two (not every week) and have him slowly go through more and more people. Then one night he jumps someone from behind and starts a feud with them, with the big reveal at the end of the show.
Three important things:
1. It's never Punk in the mask until the night of the reveal so no one can figure it out.
2. Reference several other people but never Punk himself. No catchphrases, no moves, nothing. Not until the reveal when he uses the GTS.
3. DO NOT TELL ANYONE. This stays between the Elite and Punk. Not Meltzer for sure and no one who would report it to him. Don't let anyone know about it and have an actual surprise for once. If someone suggests it's Punk, don't flat out deny it's Punk because that's a red flag in wrestling.
There are a million ways to do this but I've always been a fan of masked men reveals.
This is probably a stretch but was the Viking Raiders/Street Profits golf game a shot at the Tiger Woods/Tom Brady vs Peyton Manning/Phil Mickelson game on Sunday?
If WWE ran a one night stand in 2007 with the same arena and same fans as 2005 how do you think that would have went?
Also, don't the revival have a 90 day no compete clause?
Does Nick Aldis really have that much heat that he couldn't sign with WWE or AEW?
That crossed my mind during the show and it wouldn't surprise me. Why do it/what was the joke? No idea, but WWE has a history of thinking "Hey, this exists" is a joke.
One Night Stand 2007 was a pretty meaningless show so it would have been more interesting with the other crowd.
And I remember seeing something that said they didn't for some reason.
I think it's more he doesn't want to.
That may be true but he always seems kind of passive aggressive whenever someone asks him about it. He goes on about how he's the NWA champion (which is all well and good) but he seems to say it in a way for compensating. He sounds like an ex bandmate talking about the band that kicked him out and then got massive afterwards. And saying how his current band is more creatively fulfilling. Basically similar to Dave Mustaine ranting about Metallica.
Still he's enjoyable in NWA so that's good at least.
