I hate this. If it happens, its not a surprise anymore, if it doesnt happen, people get pissed. Same with the Bryan Danielson rumors. Meanwhile you get a million discussions about it happening at All Out? It doesnt, suddenly a great card is overshadowed. And of course now there are the "Signing too many WWE guys" conversations even though Punk and Bryan made their names in ROH and the independents. I hope it ends on a positive. So this is WWE rumors people now telling the "dirt sheets" where they think free agents are going? What world do we even live in now? I think on the positive side, AEW's fanbase seems to be the type that won't shit on a show because CM Punk or Bryan Danielson don't show up. It's hard to know who leaked what, but for Sean Ross Sapp to report it means that he's heard it from more than one source. He's not a "dirt sheet" writer like those on Ringside News, Rajah, Wrestling Inc., etc. that publish hearsay. He knows what he's talking about and has built up a brand so for him to put it out there, there's a very real chance it happens. I totally believe SRS heard this. I also believe this part; "Fightful added AEW is seen as the "most likely landing spot" with some higher-ups in WWE believing Punk will ultimately sign with AEW." is someone is WWE telling him that they think CM Punk might go to AEW, because they probably had talks that went nowhere. The same thing with WWE officials thinking Danielson going to AEW, so I am not a fan of WWE officials telling SRS they think so and so "MIGHT" go to AEW and it becoming a huge story. And suddenly its non-stop talk about CM Punk this and CM Punk that. They'll have to make an announcement before All Out "CM PUNK IS NOT IN THE BUILDING. ENJOY THE SHOW," like not eating brown acid at Woodstock.

He’s be able to use Cult of Personality right? That’s an actual song, not a WWE one. Depends on the deal WWE signed with Living Colour/whoever owns the actual rights to the song. I doubt they bought an exclusive usage in perpetuity though, that'd be expensive. (Though I am guessing they have a we can use it in any footage we own clause)

We'll see what happens, I think you might be overestimating what AEW will have to do to combat the rumors, but we'll see.

Get Punk in at All Out, and then six months into Hangman's title reign a Straight Edge (and heel) Punk vs. beer drinking Hangman writes itself.

If Punk and Bryan come in together.....then who is the 3rd Man? Glenn Gilberti. Or Nigel McGuinness.

AEW shouldn't say anything one way or another. If Punk signs and he shows up, great surprise. If he doesn't sign, you can't be blamed for nothing you actually didn't comment on.
Also, I doubt AEW fans are going to chant "CM PUNK!" at shows. That's one of those chants that only really happens with a more er, hostile audience. Only way it'd happen at All Out is if the show sucks.

He's a heat magnet and will do whatever it takes to get an angle over. I think people confuse his on-screen/on-air persona and think he wouldn't do business. Unfortunately, i think he has heat with Cody and thus, I don't see it happening.

I first started typing it as a joke, but Punk and Danielson with Cody as a trio trying to take out the Elite sure would make some money. That's filling an arena.

Bring in Stephen Amell, too, for a couple of appearances. He just finished shooting Heels for Starz. Not only are he and Cody good friends, but Punk worked on that show, too.

Also am I to assume he and Colt worked something out? Otherwise... awkward.

Bring in Stephen Amell, too, for a couple of appearances. He just finished shooting Heels for Stars. Not only are he and Cody good friends, but Punk worked on that show, too. Just got me thinking. This could also be a way to get the EVP thing off of the Bucks, Omega, maybe even Cody. Like they can still be in management, but the company has gotten bigger than them. They can just enjoy being wrestlers, working behind the scenes, and maybe not have the pressures of having to be EVPs. I think Cody likes it a lot more than the Bucks and Omega do. A match at some PPV to lose EVP status. 5 on 5, let's say, Cody, Danielson, Punk, Moxley and Kingston versus Omega, Bucks, and.. Paul Wight and Mark Henry who Omega and the Bucks make come out of retirement. Shaq on the Elite side, Amell on the other side. You know what, I'm going to get back to work before I 1998 WCW my way into a fantasy booking hole.

If Punk and Bryan come in together.....then who is the 3rd Man? Someone who is already in AEW, and has had success, but who is largely associated with the other company. So...Moxley? That would actually be awesome.

This is really making me want them to come together as a group. Maybe enter separately so both of them can enjoy mega pops. Now I’m letting my imagine run wild and I got to stop that. Lol
