So apparently we will have CM Punk vs. Darby Allin at All Out?
That´s great. Darby is the perfect first feud for Punk.
Mox will face Tanahashi at some point and maybe at All Out and that´s f**king crazy. Imagine Tana´s entrance in Chicago!!!!
And I´m so happy they take the hard road with the Hangman´s story and have him lose his title shot.
It´s too soon to beat Kenny. Let him face Danielson in a main event for the AEW title.
Let him face a big star from NJPW.
There´s a cool story to write with Hangman during this time. You should tell the story that when Hangman was at his worse, the elite didn´t help him but now the Dark Order will.

Title shots are earned by the rankings so BD can't come in and jump straight to the top. The Hangman story may not be dead for All Out just yet either, but they could ice it until a later PPV.

Pretty much a lock that CM Punk debuts on August 20 at the United Center in Chicago. They wouldn't have moved it to that big arena or made all the Punk hints (Darby saying best in the world, MJF saying the first few sentences of the pipebomb promo) if it wasn't already set.

It is a lock, no if ands or buts left in my mind. They didn't book that arena for a week before when they already have 3 shows already on sale for the same city AND call it The First Dance if you were not debuting Punk.

Last night was one giant just wink and nod to fans.

At this point, the only thing stopping this from happening is covid regulations

YEP, I think it's as close to 100% as you can get, first Chicago IL Rampage, fans chant CM Punk, then Darby says even if your The Best In The World, and then MJF's promo. Next up we need a tease of Bryan Danielson.

So is AEW...ECW now?
It's WWF/WCW best era

For me, as a fan of the OG ECW, it is, but not style wise, for me ECW was that product that I loved with guys WWE & WCW would never sign & push, l& the rapid fan base, so to be, AEW is my new ECW, it's been a long time since I've enjoyed wrestling this much, when both WCWC & ECW died wrestling went downhill, competition creates for better products, until now, WWE had no real competition despite, IMO anyway, NJPW has been 10 times better than WWE has been for years. WWE got my hopes up after 05 one night stand & then 06 with ECW revival, I was dumb enough to believe Vince would make WWE's ECW like the OG ECW, to have Big Show/Batista main event a ECW on SYFY in the Hammerstein ball room was a slap in the face to the fans there who were true, OG ECW fans.

I will always remember that "change the channel" chant the ECW fans were brutal that night

I don't know what thought when he put that in the main event in front of OG ECW fans, another week there they had Big Show vs Sabu there, for ECW title I think just god awful.

Vince thought it was like a WWE crowd it's like Paul heyman said it was dead from the very start because he knew it would be impossible to recapture that ECW feel without Vince's influence especially. Tommy dreamer, Joey styles and Paul all felt it was doomed to fail from the beginning

AEW is white hot right now. I imagine Phil Brooks is feeling pretty pretty good about his choice to come back right about now.
