SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, September 5th 2025: CM Punk returns to Chicago

[Tremendez]

That white strap around her shoulder as she skips in the ring is just a match made in heaven.

 

[Tremendez]

I love that punk is just watching his wife on the outside letting her have the full spotlight and just admiring seeing his wife get her time again as a proud husband.

 

[Tremendez]

AJ tells punk she wants to do an encore in the ring again so she skips right back into the ring with the Intercontinental championship and the crowd is just eating it up giving her another huge pop. I love this for her.

 

[Tremendez]

So happy WWE gave them all the time they wanted and recorded this entire thing and uploaded it to YouTube.

 

[Tremendez]

The Chicago crowds are so blessed.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Will watch this later today but I take from someone's avatar that she's back. Can't wait

 

[Y2Jayne]

I know he will be done soon and needs to end as a babyface but that Cena heel turn was way too short.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Brock !

 

[Y2Jayne]

F5 to Zayn

 

[Y2Jayne]

Hard to think that Priest was a world champion 13 months ago.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Aleister and Priest in a stable would actually work, now that Judgement Day changed gimmicks.

 

[Y2Jayne]

And to think this all happened because Jake Perry said "real glass"

AJ looks like she never left, good stuff.

 

[Dom's cellmate]

I love that punk is just watching his wife on the outside letting her have the full spotlight and just admiring seeing his wife get her time again as a proud husband.

I'd be the same way if it was my Wife.

Goated moment with AJ Lee returning. I couldn’t stop smiling after her music hit.

Cena and Sami was a good match until it was ruined by Brock, which I knew was coming. I liked all the homages Cena had for past rivals, and that spear was for Edge not Roman idk what Michael Cole was on about.

Wish there could’ve been more matches but it was a good show except for Brock.
