If MJF beats Punk in Chicago that'd be huge... I almost wanna see it for the reactions lmfao GCW fans...the most passionate in the industry right now if we're being honest with ourselves...lost their SHIT when Cardona won at Hammerstein on Sunday. And the worst they did was throw some shit in the ring. MJF beating Punk - clean, dirty, otherwise - in CHICAGO? shiiiiiit. Max better have an armored car if he wants to make it outta Chicagoland alive.

So listening to Alvarez say he thought they’d do an angle to make the match happen in Chicago, but didn’t, got me thinking: In character-wise, it really doesn’t make sense for MJF to have made the match in Chicago does it..?
Speaking character-wise, he could always have any of the Pinnacle interfere. Or he could plan to use his ring or some nefarious way to cheat… but what if he has another ace up his sleeve? What if *someone* debuts as “new muscle” for MJF and costs Punk the match?

The minute somebody throws something they'll start tossing folks. It's not GCW and they can't afford to start encouraging that unless they want Connecticut to start talking to the press about "employee safety."

The post-promo beat down on Punk seems to obvious as an “out” of the match next week in Chicago, but I feel like the feud has been drawn out this far. It only makes sense to drag it out five more weeks for the “Revolution” card. For even more heel heat, I could see a still recovering and battered Punk showing up to fight with MJF having to back out of the match due to an insignificant training injury or something. However, doing a bait and switch isn’t like AEW, and to announce and promote the match for next week for free and the not deliver may alienate some casual fans. On the other hand, AEW’s not really the “heel heat in hometown” promotion, so Punk winning is 90% certain.

If the match happens, then Punk is winning. If it were anywhere else, then MJF wins, but I can’t see them having Punk lose in Chicago.
I’m surprised they are doing this match on free TV. I can’t see them doing the match again on the next PPV as the first match completely takes the novelty away.

I don’t believe in wwe’s hometown heat, but a win against Punk in Chicago would be a career making moment for MJF. They could either do a rematch at Revolution with Punk going over or they could do the MJF/Wardlow match there

But Max has started riots before so 🤷🏼♂️
