I've said it before but, I'll say it again: Punk will be fine so long as the AEW docs don't hop him up on Z-Paks for days, and he's not in there with someone who is as uncoordinated as Ryback was.

I'm interested how much mainstream coverage this gets for AEW. But I imagine it's gonna for a bit. Considering Punk's potentially only the beginning? WWE are probably grinding their teeth lol.

I know we aren't supposed to bash another company on this forum, but what Punk said sums up how I felt after the Saudi deal. I couldn't remain a loyal fan and feel good about myself any longer at that point. Punk laid some hardcore truth down tonight, IMHO. That company nearly killed my love of pro wrestling about 4 years ago. AEW brought it back 2 years ago. Tonight, I felt like this was AEW saying to me, "We heard you loved CM Punk. Here he is. Thanks for supporting us." And I was like, "You son of a bitch, I'm in." The "relation" of the fans with the company is so different between the two of then,it is night and day. AEW embraces the fan while WWE hates its fans for some reason. Punk is the perfect guy for something like AEW that is about being genuine and having a connection with the public. |

Not only that, but that Smackdown was the go-home show for SummerSlam. |

One thing that's abundantly clear is how much Punk meant to people.You could argue people are bigger stars but Punk really has a "cult of personality" that is unique

It will at the very least be of equal gravitas. Because as you said Punk meant a lot to people and still does... and Danielson sure as hell does too. |

Dude has a connection with the fans that comes from being genuine and understanding/wanting the best for your fans. |

Such a great moment. I don't think I'm exaggerating bit I think this may have been the greatest night in Punk's professional career. It's easy to go back and talk about what that Pipebomb did and how he actually was ready to break through into the mainstream. But he didn't fit the mold and had people fighting against him. Yes he had health issues as well but when he did the AOW podcast it was clear how Vitter he was Nad how miserable he was.
Tonight? He had validation of how much he meant to fans. Yes it was his hometown but just the idea of seeing CM Punk sold out a building. He had people crying just at seeing him come out and hearing Cult of Personality. So while Punk has clearly grown as a person and is at peace, I think in a lot of ways tonight Punk got that validation that he is not a failure.
And legit for the first time he was doing the SES on Smackdown, you can tell that Punk is excited to wrestle and that he has the itch.
And yes WWE is dreading the next meeting with Fox

A major moment when AEW outdid WWE days before WWE's 2nd biggest event of the year.
