I think its both a work and some of the WWE crew don’t like him. The only question is whether he can moderate himself enough to not lose his cool when things don’t work out exactly as he has planned; and likely because of what he did in AEW he didn’t have much leverage left so won’t be coming in with the impression that he’s helping to run the show.
But then, if you listen to RVD interviews that didn’t stop him back when ECW was a thing and Punk would try to run the locker room etc back then. His problem is that its years later, he’s done very little in the business in the interim but might still want to be the guy people turn to for advice etc.
At least the WWE style should suit his current ability better, though he’ll be more restrained on the mic than he was in AEW he also won’t have to be able to go in the ring as much so maybe he won’t injure himself straight away.
