More on CM Punk's AEW debut
Added 2021-08-25 15:57:29 +0000 UTCCM Punk returned to pro wrestling last week, and Fightful has gained some more details about the spot.
AEW talent had obviously been discussing the return for weeks, but all that we spoke to claim they were never told outright by Tony Khan or AEW that Punk would be there until he showed up at the venue. Instead, he was listed and referred to as a "guest."
We're told that CM Punk was smiling, happy, and easy to talk to and get along with backstage, as one would expect based on that promo. He wasn't hidden backstage, and socialized and took pictures with the roster, even before the debut happened. Much of the roster was at the curtain or by the monitors backstage to watch what happened.
While he was there, he also did promo photos and the like, and went out with some of the roster and friends after.
The entire roster was not present at Rampage, so there will be some that actually meet CM Punk for the first time tonight at Dynamite.
Comments
Tony and Phil had been talking for over a year before he signed. I can't imagine this wasn't discussed at length, in respect to Tony wanting to keep a good locker room. I'll be curious to hear where it's at though like the rest of us

2021-08-25 16:50:27 +0000 UTCSpoilers cost jobs (or whatever that post it said). They run a really tight ship over there it seems and it has made for actually interesting developments where I didn't know what was coming, and as someone who gobbles this stuff up every day, that's awesome.

2021-08-25 16:48:41 +0000 UTCSo crazy that not one photo or tweet came out he was there.
2021-08-25 16:41:25 +0000 UTCBesides Colt, do Jericho and Punk have heat?

2021-08-25 16:10:31 +0000 UTCThanks for the heads up here on the Colt stuff. Dream scenario is a reconciled Second City Saints against the Young Bucks down the line

2021-08-25 16:03:58 +0000 UTCI, too, will ask a question about Colt and CM Punk's relationship status.

2021-08-25 16:03:54 +0000 UTCI really know it’s not Fightfuls territory to get in personal relationships and I respect that but I do wanna know where him and Colt are at
2021-08-25 16:03:16 +0000 UTCHe wasn't there apparently, he was at the Gathering of the Juggalos' wrestling show.
Erik Ganzerli
2021-08-25 16:02:19 +0000 UTCYeah how is his relationship with Colt Cabana currently?

2021-08-25 16:00:18 +0000 UTCWould be very interested to know if he and Colt buried the hatchet - I hope so anyway.
Adam Frazier
2021-08-25 15:59:51 +0000 UTCReally want to know if he and Colt Cabana squashed things and if that is creating any tension for others.
