I don't even think you have the typical show opening video, I think you cut right to the United Center and immediately hit Cult of Personality, or Miseria Cantare if you want to hype crowd and bring him out for a hero's welcome.
Main event is Darby vs. Daniel Garcia in a rematch that tears the house down (Garcia pulled out of a booking for Friday night so there may be something to this), and then Darby calls out (and gets) Punk at the end of the show.
You don't want to oversaturate him on night one, but I think you give him to that crowd more than once so that people don't get disinterested after the first segment and so that people stay tuned in.

Yeah, he's out last with that card structure. Open hot with Jurassic Express/Private Party, do something pretty fast with Kiera/Jade (whether that's Kiera being the first to beat Jade, or Jade notching another win), have Mox/Garcia end with time to go and with Darby hanging around somewhere, then the music hits.

I imagine he's gonna come on last to keep the crowd around and invested. Show off Express/Party. Show off Jade. Show casuals who have never seen the show that you have Jon Moxley... then dedicate potentially 20 minutes to this return... 10 maybe going to the entrance alone and how loud the crowd'll be...

Mox vs Garcia main event. Has me wondering what's going to happen. Let's say match starts at 940. Mox will win by 950-952 and then Punk comes through the crowd. Attacking Moxley and they brawl all over United Center. During final 7 or 8 minutes of the show. Kind of rehash of Mox debut attacking Omega at first Double or Nothing. Now I know they did Darby tease. But you would think they would announce Darby doing something. To set up Punk coming out there. Since Nothing on Darby we don't know if he's even gonna be on the show. If they even said we will hear from Darby etc. So now I'm thinking he might come out after Moxley/Garcia.

I'm thinking Miro shows up after the main event to attack Eddie outside the ring while Sting & Mox are dealing with 2.0 in the crowd and THEN Punk shows up to confront Darby inside the ring, hitting the GTS on Garcia to send a message. The big moment happens amidst the chaos as the show ends.

I really hope it isn't just a silent entrance. It would be good to get a little substance out of it with a proper promo, especially with the crowd they are going to have.

Up til tonight I thought it would open so the crowd wasn't chanting "CM Punk!" all over everything, but with that less than stellar card (I am hyped for the tag match tho) it's gotta be at the end.

I think AEW can trust their fanbase and their roster that the fans will be sufficiently entertained so that they will keep the Punk chants away from the matches and wait until the climax of the show. This isn't WWE where fans have been conditioned to expect surprises no one asked for, or that they got to hijack the show to have any chance of getting what they want.
Of course, I might be wrong, and feel free to laugh at me if they chant for Punk during Keira/Cargill.

I think they'd be making a mistake if they didn't have him cut a promo or if it was only a 5 minute appearance. I think people are traveling to see this show - I know I was considering it. It's a big moment and should get proper attention.

I think they'll be polite during Dark or Elevation or whatever they tape there, but I think once the main show starts so do the chants. It's been 7-8 years since he's been around. It's going to have a party-like atmosphere.

I don’t imagine they’ll have him do a a through the crowd entrance…the pop when (hopefully) the Sirius smash cut to Cult of Personality mash up hits is to potentially all time massive to not get.
But I imagine an entrance, interact with Mox, interact with Sting & Darby, no promo on rampage for the TV audience…with something on the mic and someone from 2.0 getting GTS’d for the dark/off air spot.
Then he opens Dynamite with a promo probably…Milwaukee is basically a Chicagoland suburb anyway 😂

We need a Punk promo on Friday. It really shouldn’t be just a plain old stare down. Where’s the juice in that?

You don't hype something like this and do a typical wrestling return. He needs a real intro and promo.

Punk will open the show, grab a mic, and say "I'm just here to let you know that JAKOB'S WIFE, starring the amazing Barbara Crampton and featuring myself is now available to stream on Shudder. Thank you."
Then he leaves.

I love that the answers are pretty much leading to starting or ending.
It'll be hilarious if the 7 people who voted "30-minute mark" end up winning.
