Team Hangman or Team Punk?

[defectiveepitaph]

I’m not a huge fan of either, and I’ve enjoyed Hangman as champ, but I kinda wanna see Punk win. I’ll still be happy if Hangman retains tho.

Love Punk, think he's done amazing work, but I think Hangman should keep the title just a bit longer

I'm fine with either guy winning. Hangman's had pretty much nonstop bangers since winning the title and a win over Punk, in addition to being a great match, would solidify him as the Ace of AEW. On the other hand, Punk is still arguably the most over guy in the company and him winning the title would immediately put it on another level of legitimacy. It's win/win, though if I had to choose...Punk, I guess.

Team Hangman, I love Punk but Hangman is the Charlie Brown of Pro Wrestling you want him to that football.

Hangman's my guy, and I still don't think Punk needs a run (though won't complain if he does either).

[Jindrak Mark]

I think it's one of those matches with really no "wrong" winner. Either way is completely fine but I think I'd go with Punk.

6 months is a decent run for Hangman's first title reign and Punk is their biggest star so he probably should win the title at some point so why not now.

Punk is a top 5 of all time for me, but if Hangman keeps up fiery promos like he had last week- I can get behind him on this one.

DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE!!!!!

Punk is in another stratosphere and a run with the title may be able to get the company another step up in exposure and credibility. Strap him up and let Hangman get the win back in a year or two.

I think it would be the 5th.

Hangman as I personally dislike Punk a lot.

But from a business standpoint? They should absolutely put the belt on Punk and then have him face Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson, or Kenny Omega at All Out. It would be by far their biggest buy rate in company history any of those three.

Honestly I'm fine with whoever but I got a feeling Punk is gonna win the belt to set up Punk VS Okada at Forbidden Door in Chicago, and it can be advertised as champion vs champion.

I will say I hope they don't try to make Punk a heel because there's not one person in a AEW arena that's going to boo the man. Maybe have Punk have a another "Summer of Punk" title run then he drops it to maybe a returning Omega at All Out? I would not have a super long reign but a "one more run" with Punk on top would be nice.

[Blade]

Punk's gotten boos a few times, including against Kingston. I don't think he'll have any trouble getting the crowd reaction he wants when/if he does turn.

[Venti]

Hangman all the way.

As much as I loved Punk back in the day, I'm team Page all the way

Leaning to Punk. Though I like both of them.

The intersting thing is I don't think it's a foregone conclusion who wins. AEW tends to telegraph results for their championship matches, but I think it's 50/50 on who could win.

[eJm]

I’m on two minds like others; a Hangman win would really make him as champion and I’ve been happier with his reign than others have been. A Punk win would lead to my own booking plan of having Kingston win from him and MJF win from him in a nefarious way.

For now, I’m on Team “It’ll be a total banger”.
