CM Punk Announcement Could Happen Today

We could get a CM Punk return announcement today. We haven’t seen Punk since last September. Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men podcast is reporting a return announcement is expected today or in the coming days. This is huge considering Punk hasn't been seen since beating Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship at All Out.

After Punk beat Moxley he went on the now-famous All Out press conference and ranted about professionalism in the locker rom. After the press conference, The Elite (Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks) reportedly stormed CM Punk’s locker room looking for answers on what they just saw. Punches were reportedly thrown and there was something with CM Punk’s dog Larry. I don’t think we’ve ever really gotten a straight answer on that. The incident has been dubbed “The Brawl Out” The incident lead to CM Punk vacating his just won World Championship. As well as The Elite vacating their recently won AEW World Trios Championships. It also lead to a round of suspensions for the parties involved.

The Elite would return and regain the Titles they had stripped. CM Punk on the other hand was injured during his match with Jon Moxley. So no matter what, CM Punk was vacating the Championship and wouldn’t be seen for an extended period. Since that time, Dave Meltzer is reporting that there hasn’t been any headway in the 4 resolving their issues.

This is leading to the rumoured AEW Collision Show. That reportedly will be the home of CM Punk since he hasn’t made amends with The Elite. There’s a rumoured show that should be an announced for The United Center in Chicago called “The Second Coming” which will feature CM Punk. Punk will be returning in front of his home-town crowd and it should be an incredible show.

I’m so happy we’re getting to see CM Punk again. I mean that he’s my favourite wrestler of all time. My favourite athlete, although Josh Allen could pass him if he gets me a Super Bowl and Punk does some crazy stuff.

What do you think about CM Punk coming back? Are you excited?

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair. Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody. If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...

Bobby Lashley Issues Warning to Jon Moxley

Bobby Lashley debuted in All Elite Wrestling on October 30th last year, rejoining his former WWE stablemates MVP and Shelton Benjamin, forming The Hurt Syndicate. Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate are one of the hottest acts in AEW right now with Lashley and Benjamin winning the World Tag Team Titles last month. It’s inevitable that Bobby Lashley will get a World Championship shot at some point. He’s very over right now and a legit main event talent. Lashley gave a warning to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley when speaking to the Sporting Tribune . Lashley said it’s only a matter of time till they face off but he’s focused on his tag team right now. Lashley said that when Jon Moxley sees him in the locker room, he stays clear of him. Despite being cheered like a babyface, Bobby Lashley is a heel and Jon Moxley is also a heel so I don’t see them facing off soon. But I like the idea of a Moxley/Lashley match whether it’s for the Title or not. Saying that, I’d also be a fan of Bo...
