I know, right?

I hope it's in the first part of the show, my friend's band is playing a show and I promised I would go but no way I am missing this live haha.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

I am looking forward to Ryback and Kallisto doing a shot for shot remake of the former's last match in WWE, only actually using Punk's entrance music for Ryback this time.

[BlahBlah]

I don't think it can be overstated in terms of what a huge deal this is.... it's the thing that's made me set the dvr and start watching AEW every week. I'm certain I'm not the only one and that's before Danielson comes in. This is a true game changer.

[polarbearpete]

Extremely excited! Might be something I actually watch live for once (even with commercials).

["Magic" Mark Hurr]

Maaannnnn. If Tony says, "This is one of the greatest moments in the history our sport."

[Ringmaster]

Not bad for a guy who apparently doesn't move the needle.

[Chiral]

Clobbering time? I think I figured out what's going down tonight.

I just received word that CM Punk has TOUCHED DOWN IN CHICAGO!

[King Devitt: What Plants Crave]

It's awesome how excited everyone is. It's no secret I'm not a big fan of the dude, but I'd be lying if I didn't say the energy wasn't infectious.

My bf doesn't watch much wrestling, so he has no idea this is even a thing, but like me one of his favorite things is the crowd.
So, I'm thinking of having us watch it together "out of the blue" just to see him react to the pop Punk gets.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

Yeah, I’m excited for this. I can’t recall the last time I was excited for anything specific in wrestling. So I’ll just say when Bret returned to Raw.

For me, personally: I get WHY folks are excited to see him, but I couldn’t give a f*** for him, personally. I’ve seen everything there is to see from him before his hiatus. Both his wrestling (which I largely enjoyed) and him playing MMA fantasy camp for two years (which was embarrassing on multiple levels.)

"CM Punk?! Huh, that's gonna put some butts in the seats."

That Pop was so loud I wouldn't be shocked if peoples ears weren't still ringing at The United Center.
