AEW Collision/WBD upfronts MegaThread

[Smart Marx]

Happy to hear Jay’s been cooperative with creative. I’m also more so pumped for Punk liking Jay and wanting to work with him imminently. If that’s the main, I’m here.

That being said, please do not add Samoa Joe to BC.

• CM Punk was pitched to be involved in a feud with Bullet Club Gold upon the start of Collision.
• Spoiler

  A possibility for the initial main event Collision was FTR & CM Punk vs. Jay White, Juice Robinson and Samoa Joe. Fightful has also heard that Bullet Club Gold will be getting new members “imminently,” but they haven’t learned that Samoa Joe is among them.
• Sources familiar with the situation have said that Switchblade Jay White has been "very laid back" about his early creative, and that CM Punk had taken a liking to him and wanted to work with him.

Holy fucking shit that spoiler

Didn’t I say immediately that FRR randomly getting involved with Starks was leading to a CMFTR match?

I still think Starla swerving makes the most sense, though.

I would dig it, not sure if it fits the story though.

as much as I would rather Ricky stay face and keep trying this run, I would be lying if I said those 3 dudes would be a crazy stable, especially on the microphone

 

[Comrade Khan]

the real swerve is when Punk is the real leader of BC Gold

I’m just thinking from the storyline perspective it makes the most sense. Because otherwise, Starks would also be involved on the punk and FTR side and bullet club gold will that need two more members. Starks turns on FTR and they need backup so they recruit their good buddy CM Punk.

I can’t say I’m pulling for it because I love Switch, too, but I can’t say I’ve ever hated Punk leading anything.

 

[Smart Marx]

Punk is already partial to the color scheme.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

That would be fucking fire as hell. Holy shit.

I would have hoped so. That’s how I watch.
