So does CM Punk make his AEW debut tonight or nah? It's gonna be really fucked up if he doesn't.
I'll definitely be watching
He'll be there. Something tells me that there's going to be more surprises tonight then just Punk showing up.
Will be interesting to see who's back there when Punk debuts tonight.
Roman is obviously working here. You won't find out the real truth of how he feels about Jon Moxley leaving until after he's either retired or left WWE.
We talked about this before, they just have a lot of green female talent. I believe getting the time to practice your craft would greatly improve for them, but AEW doesn't have a PC like WWE. I have nothing to back this up other than the comparison of WWE women's division to everyone else
This guy is REALLY doing the Vince style of working. You NEVER break character!
If AEW is smart, he should be the only surprise of the night. No point in diluting his debut with another debut or surprise.
I'm just wondering how they are going to do it
They use a training facility managed by QT Marshall and Cody Rhodes called "The Nightmare Factory". QT and Cody also serve as trainers along with Dustin Rhodes. Once they feel the talent is good enough to have actual matches they put them on AEW Dark/ Elevation and have them work with more experienced wrestlers like Shida, Rosa, Deeb, etc. If they impress on Dark/Elevation then they get a chance on Dynamite. Red Velvet is a recent example of someone who came up through the Nightmare Factory and has progressed very well.
However they decide to do it they're gonna have to give him at least 10 minutes to talk. He's been away for awhile so I'm sure there's a lot of things he's gonna want to get off his chest.
What was the reason he left in the first place?
Stories that's been put out there is he left because of creative differences he had with WWE and needed time away to heal his injuries. I honestly don't know if that's the truth but that's the narrative that's out there at the moment.
Gotcha...
Thanks for the info. I've always wondered that but then he tried that ufc stuff so I figured he wasn't trying to heal
The more I've been thinking about it I wonder if AJ Lee comes out with Punk. That could be a nice surprise.
I am good with her and Lana being valets... Aj could wrestle when needed for the brand
Nah likely Adam Cole. Cole said he would never give up his twitch channel. So unless he had keeping his twitch included in his new contract he's gone from WWE.
Vince would often make promises to Punk like main event pushes, storylines that Punk would pitch, and time off - just to get Punk to do stuff he didn't want to do (ex. wrestle Ryback), and then after Punk did what Vince wanted him to do, Vince would often renege on those promises.
There was real tension and resentment between Punk and HHH because HHH buried Punk in their feud in 2011 at Night of Champions. 2011 was when Punk first got over, that was after the pipe bomb promo and the Cena match where he left with the title in the crowd. It killed his momentum. So much so that Punk refused to wrestle HHH at WM 30.
And along with wanting time off to heal his injuries, there was a specific medical issue where Punk had a boil on his back, and he would ask WWE's head doctor to pop it, but they refused, they would just give him antibiotics that had him fucked up. He even shitted himself during a match on Smackdown. They kept letting it grow and grow and he was often sick after his matches. He finally went to an outside doctor and was told that it became a staph infection because they didn't pop it.
Punk talked about it on Colt Cabana's podcast without mentioning the doctor's name and the doctor still sued them for defamation which also eventually led to Punk and Cabana falling out at a later point over lawyers fees and shit.
Then the nail in the coffin was them firing Punk on his and AJ's wedding day.
Thanks for the detailed explanation.
There's also Bray.
But it's probably Cole. His extension ends on Sunday, and besides the Twitch thing, I don't think trying to negotiate a guaranteed main roster push is worth the fight.
If I'm Cole, I would want to get pushed because they see something in me, not pushed so they won't get sued.
Cole should go where he'll be wanted and appreciated.
If CM Punk shows up with a mic tonight......
Anything less than a pipebomb I'll be disappointed.
Or Batista....
Honestly, I was never a fan of Batista. He's more interesting in the Guardians Of The Galaxy movies than he ever was as a wrestler.
Nah, Batista said he done done.
Bray 90 days aren't up. Don't know if they can legally sign a new contract until after the 90 no compete clause. Braun days are nearly up but I would prefer him getting a new WWE contract.
