You could actually see him Wincing a little as he came to the ring.
How long till he fucks up again?

First meh episode of Dynamite in a while, but I'm still looking forward to the next episode even though I'm worried they're going to waste Jay White.
Hardy shouldn't be back, but he's still the most loved babyface in wrestling. I give him 3 months.

Aye, bit of a dip in Dynamite after a good few weeks but still not bad.
All signs seem to be pointing to Punk returning over the next few months. Can't lie - I'm really looking forward to it.
The feuds with Omega, Hangman, The Elite and Jericho could be red hot. Really hope he's at Wembley.

I hope the continued coverage of Punk still being poison is a work as it's not worth bringing him back if it pushes other wrestlers out.
And the rumoured live AEW Saturday show being a soft split for the company makes sense, gives room for wrestlers like Jay White and Swerve to be compelling heels rather than jobbers. Hopefully it also means the women get more than one storyline.
But I don't think I would be in the mood to watch more than Dynamite most weeks.

I don’t think folk saying he’s poison is a work but when has that ever stopped anyone doing business in wrestling?
If they could put him in Wembley Stadium the response would be huge

They could definitely use him for the ratings and attendance boost.

Both ratings and to a certain extent attendance have zero bearing on my enjoyment of the product but having a kick ass roster does, as does the intrigue of seeing Punk go up against the Elite.

Fans watching no but Tony and TV executives yes. Remember they put it after Big Bang Theory to try and get a high carry over.
Tony's "important announcements" trick has worn off now as well.
They need something to give it a boost
If Punk does come back I expect it to go sour again within a year. But it will be funny hearing all the chants for him again.
Him vs Kenny will no doubt be booked.
Anyways, she really needs to quit the steroids.

She genuinely looks like a completely different person to even a year ago. Like, she barely looks like she’s even related to herself.
I don’t understand that whole bodybuilding competition scene or physique but the transformation is absolutely unbelievable.
Surely wrestling with that sort of build is just begging to get yourself all kinds if muscle tears and injuries.

She'll piss hotter than all the other Impact wrestlers combined.
Shame as I thought she had a great look about a year ago. Reminded me a lot of Beth.

Would love to know who Knight has pissed off.
Guys won like 2 matches this year.

I kind of wonder whether if Punk had an attitude like Cena if it would have helped him at all. At this point of the game his edge is all he has left.

Knight is 2-21 this year which gives him the worst record in all companies this year.
Reports of a 2hr Saturday show coming for AEW.
Reports also say a brand split is coming and Punk plus those that don't have issues with him will be on the new show to avoid issues with the likes of Kenny, the Bucks and Jericho.

I am still surprised nobody has been badly hurt by this shitty celeb boxing craze.

Looks like Impact had a good night at Rebellion
Matches delivered, big returning star, positive buzz across wrestling media.
Feels like its been this way for awhile, all they need is an audience to give the shows a bit more atmosphere

He's only 29 as well
I selfishly hope he goes to AEW and puts on many more classic matches before his body breaks down

Making a second live weekly show to satiate one giant man-baby's ego is absolutely mental

It's pathetic. And if true that's going to be AEWs true competition. One show vs the other. How are PPVs going to work?
But again..its not just 1 man's ego causing this. The boss needs to actually act like the boss and deal with this. If they can't agree to work together then cut your loss and release Punk. Guy seems happy doing MMA commentary anyways.

Even WCW didn’t manage to get themselves into that position and they had Hogan in the building with full creative control.
AEW has done so much good in the business but Khan really needs to be a boss sometimes

I imagine Warner are leaning hard on TK to get Punk back and I when that happens the studio is the only winner.

I can fully imagine them doing all this and then Punk have another hissy fit and taking his ball home with him again by the end of the year.

It's never going to end well.
But why wouldn't you just use Punk as leverage to make ROH the Saturday show rather than it being on a streaming service?

Punk's a prick but from what I've read Kenny isn't completely against working with Punk, it's more the Bucks who are refusing to work with him.
