Darby and MJF both did Punk quotes tonight
They know what they're doing.

I know, right?
You were in North Carolina but you’re saving Michael Jordan’s debut for Chicago?! WTF guys?!

twitter.com/AEW/status/1420568764920340485?s=20YUP They know what they're doing. And I don't think it'll be the typical "pull the rug out from the audiences feet" kind of thing. I do think we'll get a fake out during the show AND then either Cult of Personality or Miseria Cantare playing.

This still doesn’t feel real.
Punk could beat Miro for the TNT title and I’ll still be saying “this doesn’t feel real”.

People lost sight of the fact they actually did the goddamn bulls entrance tonight. And they did it pretty much the exact same way I scripted it in a a thread here, like, 2 weeks ago 😂😂😂

Does it make any sense to run a 20k arena in the Chicago area a fortnight before running a 10k arena in the Chicago area for a PPV?

The crowd was very rude also, yes I did see him (Tony Schiavone) but he's not a punk.

I think the United Center might be a little big for an arena for them... guess we will see if there's a full house for the best in the world when he shows up

Man, if they fake everyone out, the heat will be even more nuclear than the results of the Elite vs DO elimination match.
Don't f*** this up now.

I guess we can put the boots to Rampage being the secondary show too... like this is in one of AEW's biggest attempted arenas yet in Chicago right before All Out... and if you know who actually debuts there? Wow...
This feels like it should be longer than an hour lmfao

I think the fake-out could be fun if done right. Imagine Cult of Personality hits and out comes MJF. "You were expecting someone else?" He starts his usual promo but gets cut-off by Cult of Personality again and this time it really is Punk.
I would only do a fake-out if they're going to immediately deliver Punk right after, though. You don't want to burn the goodwill of the audience by doing a fake-out and not delivering at all. But, I think AEW probably knows that. They've been burned by hyping-up surprises before, so I don't think they'd tease Punk without having him there.

I wonder if they're gonna debut both Punk and Bryan here. Like I assume once the deal was sealed with Punk they quickly booked this show, but maybe it's to unveil both of the massive signings.
And if Punk's debuting here he's gonna wrestle at All Out and MANNNN even with the Darby and MJF teases I have no idea who he'd be facing.

Given the size of the venue and all the hints they dropped, Punk is definitely showing up, and as mentioned, it will feel surreal.

I mean…I HOPE this is one of those times where Tony is able to keep the TNT suits off his ass and he doesn’t have to officially announce His presence in advance. Also, yeah…a fake out built around MJF would be the only way to do it. Otherwise, as a man is known to say; GOT TO GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT!

Would've preferred that they announced a supershow with NJPW/IW/AA tbh.
