Well the rumors are true. CM Punk is in AEW. The crowd in Chicago was crazy about his return.

Yeah, and it was nice to see him being genuinely happy about his return. Hopefully, he can enjoy this run, obviously make a lot of money, and enjoy wrestling again. It was clear that like many others, working in WWE made him miserable.

I thought the Punk segment ran too long. It took up about a third of the show.
Doesn't matter if it took up the entire hour. The best thing to happen to pro wrestling since he left 7 years ago happened tonight.

Any word on whether the Sasha-Bianca match is going to take place?

Totally marked out for Punk last night but turned it off after his promo. Looking forward to see him work and maybe through that I'll start watching more of AEW as a whole.

No. Matches* Stipulations
1 Nikki A.S.H. (c) vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley Triple Threat match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship
2 Roman Reigns (c) (with Paul Heyman) vs. John Cena Singles match for the WWE Universal Championship.
3 Bobby Lashley (c) (with MVP) vs. Goldberg Singles match for the WWE Championship
4 The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso) (c) vs. Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio Tag Team match for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship
5 Bianca Belair (c) vs. Sasha Banks Singles match for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship
6 Edge vs. Seth Rollins Singles match
7 Sheamus (c) vs. Damian Priest Singles match for the WWE United States Championship
8 Drew McIntyre vs. Jinder Mahal Singles match
9 Alexa Bliss vs. Eva Marie (with Doudrop) Singles match
10 AJ Styles and Omos (c) vs. RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Riddle) Tag Team match for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship

My guesses:
1. Nikki
2. Roman
3. Lashley
4. Usos
5. Belair
6. Edge
7. Priest
8. McIntyre
9. Bliss
10. RK-Bro

I hope I'm wrong on a couple of those. Maybe I'm being too conservative also.

Here's another name you maybe can add to AEW in the next 30 days. Bray Wyatt.

www.ringsidenews.com is reporting that Bray Wyatt is "most likely" headed to AEW.

Also, there is a pic on the Internet of him in Chicago last Friday night in the crowd watching the return of CM Punk.

Hopefully they use him better than the WWE did.

That roster is starting to get too big, how can they work that many into angles?

Any thoughts on last night's SummerSlam?
Personally I was disappointed. Most of the night was predictable.

Roman Reigns (c) (with Paul Heyman) vs. John Cena
Bobby Lashley (c) (with MVP) vs. Goldberg
The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso) (c) vs. Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio
Edge vs. Seth Rollins
Sheamus (c) vs. Damian Priest
Drew McIntyre vs. Jinder Mahal
Alexa Bliss vs. Eva Marie (with Doudrop)
AJ Styles and Omos (c) vs. RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Riddle)

That is 8 of 10 matches the winner was known before the damn PPV even began.

Another match melted down because Banks couldn't go, so in walks The Man - asks for a championship match - 2 minutes later she's the champ again. What the heck??????

In the other match, having Flair beat Nikki was also predictable. I really didn't care who won but all WWE did last night was devalue the MITB. Everyone knew it was joke that Nikki won MITB and a bigger joke when she pinned Flair. But to let Nikki have the belt only 4 weeks?

Please, just please, do not try to make a storyline about Lashley/Goldberg/Goldbergs injury/Gage.

I will give Vince a little credit. He sees what we all have been seeing for a long time. And knowing Punk was making a big splash return to AEW, he actually went out and did something about it getting Becky and Brock to return to WWE just 24 hours later. If he can capitalize on the little momentum bump from last night we'll have to see.
