CM Punk Is Reportedly “Good to Go” For AEW Collision – After months of negotiations, Sean Ross Sapp reports that discussions between CM Punk and AEW have been productive and people close to him believe that he will be at the first Collision show on June 17.
This was also backed up in a post on the F4W Board by Ryan Frederick:
“I can’t speak for Bryan because I don’t know what info he’s been given, and there’s definitely been a lot of different info being passed around with this whole thing. I can only say that, based on what I was told at midnight ET, Punk is good to go for Collision, that he signed an NDA pertaining to Brawl Out (which was described as necessary for him to return but also a difficult negotiation, but he knew he had to do it and there’s a lot of people he doesn’t want to let down), and a couple of other legal documents that were also necessary for him to return that protects AEW in case of another bad situation. There’s one thing I’ll keep quiet on because it’s nothing major, but this whole thing is basically now him playing ball because he says he loves AEW and wants to help the company grow and he knows what will happen if there’s another big issue.”
Bryan Alvarez also tweeted the following: “Appears everything clear for liftoff tonight”
As noted, AEW President Tony Khan is set to appear on tonight’s Double Or Nothing go-home edition of AEW Dynamite to announce the location of the AEW Collision premiere scheduled for Saturday, June 17.
PWInsider notes that tonight’s Dynamite will see AEW announce the United Center in Chicago as the location of the Collision premiere, as expected.
Obviously, with Punk back in the fold, they can move forward with plans to do the show at Chicago’s United Center. Tonight on Dynamite, Tony Khan is expected to announce the location for the first Collision show.
There’s no word yet on if the Collision premiere is still being titled “The Second Coming,” which is related to the premiere episode of AEW Rampage on August 21, 2021, which was billed as “The First Dance” for Punk’s AEW debut. The Rampage premiere also took place at the United Center in Punk’s hometown.
