I just saw that he followed AEW as well.

This would be really foul if Punk is trolling us.

"Were we not meant to do that yet?" :oops

Realistically there is too many signs here for it not to be happening. This would be the biggest troll job ever if not. :lol

So. CM Punk and AEW.

Good. God. Damn!!!! I am so into this. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it. You know why? CM Fucking Punk.

And you know what else (unless I missed something). Bryan Danielson too. Joe missed out. This is THE place to be, right now and probably of all time....yes, above NWO WCW because these dudes are booking for the sake of wrestling rather than a broadcast company... seriously - they debut Danielson and Punk within a couple of weeks of each other and the wrestling internet will turn into a weird, random volcanic explosion of hot lava. There's no other way to describe how hot this company will become....

They'll get more viewers than Raw (not that anybody should care about a 1990s metric in 2021 anyway) and THIS will be the spark that ignites a proper wrestling war.

FYI: I'm a massive Punk mark (dude's my age with about a months difference and hates people - that's me living vicariously through him) and think Daniel Bryan is the best we've seen since Punk (bar AJ Styles)

This absolutely MUST be true for AEW to not loose a boatload of fans.

Realistically, Punk has been mentioned every time AEW have done Chicago. But NEVER like this. I have goosebumps and I'm just sitting at a computer typing. Imagine the response if his music hits in Chicago. Just imagine it....

Punk will be looking for the Sting style deal to go to AEW. He will want a lighter schdule, and a lot of money. Whereas Bryan I can see being happy to go out there week in week out. The drama of this is more interesting than the Bryand rumours. That always seemed a no brainer.
