With the anticipated yet-to-be-announced AEW Collision event drawing closer, there have been talks among wrestling enthusiasts about the return of CM Punk to the company and the proposed split roster between Dynamite and the new Saturday show.
According to a recent report from Dave Meltzer’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, plans have changed regarding the split roster. Instead of a “hard roster split,” the latest plan is for Punk to make intermittent appearances on Dynamite when needed, while wrestlers with unresolved issues with Punk would feature on Collision on the week he’s on Dynamite. The aim is to resolve conflicts between the wrestlers, although significant progress has yet to be made.
The split is expected to be more relaxed regarding the women’s division, as there isn’t enough star power to do a hard split. It’s important to note that these details are not final.
Furthermore, news of a new two-hour show is expected to air on TNT on Saturdays from 8-10 PM Eastern, beginning with a late-June United Center event. This event would also mark Punk’s first appearance since last year’s All Out.
As wrestling fans eagerly await the details of the upcoming AEW Collision event, these updates on CM Punk’s return and the proposed split roster plan are sure to keep the excitement levels high.
