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. I think the plan with Bryan is still to debut him for Arthur Ashe Arena.

Yeah especially considering they said Rampage was gonna be taped for almost every week not counting Pre-PPV week events. This is totally being setup for Punk's return. And to put Rampage on the map.

I’m wondering with Darby being the one to cut that promo, is that it’s going to build up to a Punk vs Darby match. This actually works perfectly in my mind. I’m still assuming it’s gonna be Page vs Omega for the title and then it could be Punk vs Darby as the semi main or at least the second biggest match in card. That’s an amazing way to sell a PPV to be honest.

Jesus christ...

August 20th....interesting the night before SummerSlam. I was just listening to fightful post show and they brought this up. AEW on the 2nd episode of the 2nd show are going to take SummerSlam Weekend from WWE with one show.

AEW on the 2nd episode of the 2nd show are going to take SummerSlam Weekend from WWE with one show. And it's smart to do so. - You debut Punk - You sell the second show as MUST WATCH every week if this shit happens on it - Conceivably you sell out The United Center or close to it. - You show Punk's gonna be on the PPV. Likely spiking the Buyrate.

Man, WCW Nitro’s from the United Center used to be red hot. Tony gets two wins this night, one returning to an old WCW stomping ground and having a massive hometown crowd if Punk appears (which seems likely). I can’t wait to see the reaction if this actually happens.

My big question is do you possibly film like an hour DARK Pre-show and air it on Youtube live from United?
They aren't just gonna film in The United Center for an Hour I am to assume. I'd potentially maximize the ticket even though if what they're getting is what is expected it'll be worth the price.

Punk parachuting into the title match would put a damper on the whole thing for me, just being a WWE move.

Punk and Bryan aren't and shouldn't be immediate title challengers. In AEW you build up a resume. If Punk's first victory is Darby Allin that's a statement. But moreover it'd be an amazing match/feud. Punk also gets to interact with Sting... which is even more hype.

That crowd is going to go insane. And half of them will be Punk’s kids.

Does anyone know if Rampage will air on Canadian television? We’ve got Dynamite on TSN, but I haven’t heard anything confirmed for the new show. Would hate to miss it!

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 About the same size as Arthur Ashe in NY I think, and they aren't having any trouble packing them in there with nothing announced. I think the Arthur Ashe show is already set to be the largest non-WWE show since WCW.
