CM Punk Speculation Running Rampant on Social Media

Speculation is running rampant about “The Best in the World” CM Punk tonight. Supposedly there’s something about him that hasn’t been reported yet. I’ve seen people talking about Punk leaving WWE to join AEW , having pitched something that the upper brass didn’t like at WrestleMania to him being injured as a reason. What’s real and what’s fictitious? The rumours have been talked about by JCup2013 and Sean Ross Sapp on X. Sapp especially and JCup as well are known for their scoops.  I don’t have any insider knowledge like they may have, but I do have Google. Which tells me that Monday Night Raw takes place on July 6th from guess where? CM Punk’s hometown of Chicago, Illinois. If I’m a betting man, which I am, I’m putting a bet on Punk returning there. This wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen him take a post-WrestleMania break. Look at 2013 after he wrestled the Undertaker, and look where he returned. At Payback against Chris Jericho from Chicago. Now saying this, Punk left the c...

When Will Brock Lesnar Actually Retire?

Brock Lesnar appeared to retire at WrestleMania this past April. He took off the boots after he lost to Oba Femi and it appeared to fans that he retired. Brock however returned on last week’s Raw and attacked Oba Femi. Shocking the wrestling community. Brock and Femi’s rematch has been confirmed for this weekend at Clash in Italy. When will Brock Lesnar actually retire?  The most obvious place and time is SummerSlam on the first weekend in August from U.S Bank Stadium in Brock’s (billed from) hometown Minneapolis, Minnesota. The stadium can sit almost 73,000 people. In order to fill a venue this big you have to have marquee matches. Brock Lesnar’s retirement would put butts in seats. He’s one of the biggest draws in combat sports history, and one of the most polarizing figures in wrestling. Brock’s star-making moment happened at SummerSlam 2002 when he beat The Rock to become the youngest WWE Champion in history.  The next choice is this Sunday in Turin, Italy. Maybe Brock bea...

Will AEW Ever Run Madison Square Garden?

Will All Elite Wrestling ever air a show from the legendary Madison Square Garden Arena? Never say never but I wouldn’t count on it anytime soon.   During the Double or Nothing media scrum from last night Tony was asked by Justin Dorazio if he has ever tried to run MSG and if it’s a possibility in the future. TK responded by saying representatives from MSG reached out about running the first Dynamite from 2019 at the hollowed venue. Khan said he was interested but they quickly called back and rescinded the offer.    Tony Khan explains that AEW attempted to run MSG in the past and have not been in contact with them since 2019. pic.twitter.com/rDzUEHDYG8 — justin dorazio (@justin32800) May 25, 2026 Khan has told this story before but this may put the MSG questions to rest now.   It doesn’t sound like there’s any ill will from Tony but said that was the last time they talked about running the Garden. MSG is WWE grounds so it’s not surprising they don’t want the competit...

Beth Copeland Should Be Used As More Than Edge’s Wife

Beth (Phoenix) Copeland helped her husband Adam win the AEW World Tag Team Championships from FTR at tonight’s Double or Nothing. She should be used as more than an accessory to her husband. While it is cool to see her help out Cope (Edge) occasionally, she’s a wrestling legend in her own right. She was a pioneer in the earlier 2010s and helped pave the way for the women’s revolution of the mid to late 2010s.  It’s not just in AEW, since 2022 in WWE every time Beth Phoenix has appeared it’s been to help her husband. Cope is a legend and it’s fun to see her as his secret weapon but I think m she should be used to help the women’s division in AEW.  Beth is a three time Women’s Champion, one time Divas Champion and Hall of Famer in WWE. She stood out as a woman who could actually wrestle in the era of divas in WWE. She inspired women’s wrestlers that didn’t fit the conventional look.  AEW’s women division could use someone like Beth getting involved. Helping to make one of t...

Will MJF Lose His Hair at Double Or Nothing?

Will MJF lose his hair tonight at Double or Nothing? The sentiment from fans online that I’m seeing is that MJF will win back the Triple B from Darby Allin in his own “backyard” in Queens. MJF’s hair is on the line but if he wins he becomes a three-time AEW World Champion. Joining Jon Moxley as the only wrestlers to win the Championship at least three times. Darby Allin’s looking to avoid having the shortest first reign as World Champion in AEW history.   I think Darby Allin’s going to retain the Championship and continue his run as a fighting Champion. If it ends here, it does nothing for Darby long term. I could see Mick Foley interfering on Darby’s behalf and helping him shave MJF’s head.  There’s more upside in MJF going bald than there is with him winning the World Championship for the third time. MJF could rock a bandanna or a mask like CM Punk in 2010 when he had his head shaved. The only obstacle that I’ve seen online is if MJF would shave his head following an alleged...
