At this point we're either getting the planned announcement next week or we're getting a "AEW has come to terms with the release of CM Punk" tweet tbh they can't do anymore back and forth this soon to the debut show
A decision one way or the other will be made for sure.

I’ll be surprised if someone doesn’t backdown before it comes to that tweet, but wrestlers are stupid as shit.

This is going to be a narrative pushed whether true or not so I'm not saying I believe it but yeah if Punk is straight up holding the show hostage for Ace being allowed backstage again, and doesn't back down from that, I wouldn't want to try and do business again in the future with him once his return has officially fallen through

I’m fine with a little hold out, but if Tony holds firm on working from home, Punk needs to take it. It’s a great deal and if Punk says no deal, that’s it for him.

No point trying again if you ruin the show specifically designed to be your coming back party.

Absolutely horrible look that WBD had to be told to remove him from all material literally the day before too, this was like the biggest announcement in company history outside of the original Dynamite on TNT deal IMO

I’m hoping though Punk’s IG stories are because the narratives coming out aren’t true or at least not the full truth.

It’s so stupid. I was wondering why he wasn’t on the poster. I get trying Rampage again, but being on the promotions is better this time.

Most people are saying they've literally heard exact opposite things regarding Ace too which really doesn't happen that often. Even brawl out stuff when it was obviously from one side weren't completely contradictory

I imagine WBD is furious at both sides as they probably thought it was a done deal when they started putting this show together months ago.

They’re probably used to divas, though, so their main concern is still getting their star for Saturday viewers.

If ace is allowed backstage u lose the lockeroom, i just domt see how Punk doesnt have tgat foresight unless he just doesnt care. At soms point he needs to be a team player n if its gonna b a hold out everytime he wants something more u cant do business long term w a guy like that. Aew will survive without him n both Punk n Tony need to accept this and either play ball or move on. This is just embarassing and tiresome, we should be talkin about 2 back to back near perfect Dynamites n DoN. Not ace the clown

Yeah I'd be more worried if WBD themselves didn't seem so casual about all of this? At least from what's been reported so far, that's another odd piece of this whole saga

Good point. I mean only a month ago Punk was visiting all the backstage venues of various other promotions. It feels like this is coming out of nowhere so hopefully it isn’t.

Yeah, you’d think they’d be more vocal if something weird was happening.
