Current Events > CM Punk's return to AEW officially announced

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just happened on Dynamite. They're doing a brand split with a new show that has more serious wrestling and less gimmicky stuff compared to Dynamite, and he's headlining the premiere. Half the crowd cheered, half the crowd booed lmao

The concept of the Collision show sounds pretty cool though

Which comes first, another meltdown or he gets injured doing a move he has no business doing?

I wonder what backstage whiny crybaby drama he'll be involved in next

It's still ridiculous to me that AEW's idea of a solution to the CM Punk problem was to split the roster into "people that are willing to work with CM Punk" (Collision) and "people that aren't willing to work with CM Punk" (Dynamite), but whatever. Hopefully he'll play nice this time.

Has that ever been the case? He's a grievance collector and has had issues everywhere he's been.

Glad to see people think CM punk is a huge jabroni

Trust me, I don't have high hopes either. Maybe knowing this is most likely his last chance might lead to him having some more common sense. Big maybe.

When AEW was first announced as a full time company and Dynamite was their launch show, they advertised it as a show that would feel like real sports, with meaningful win loss records, and championship matches would be given to the wrestlers with the best records in their divisions. It basically never happened and it took no time in becoming a normal wrestling show, let's see if they stay faithful to their claim for Collision.

Ill never understand the hype about him.

Is Collision still gonna be on Saturdays?
Even noted AEW fanboy Dave Meltzer says that's a brutal day for a weekly wrestling show.
It might do good at first but I don't know how long it could last, especially once Football starts back up.

Hope he flakes out and gets booted after 1 night after a big tantrum.

Wasn't one of those moves jumping into the crowd on his way down to the ring?

I love how the commentary team can't hold their laughter in at the mixed reaction. They know most people don't like Punk and that this is a shit idea.

I mean, Saturday in primetime is probably still better than Rampage's 10pm Friday death slot
