There are some rumors that CM Punk will be appearing on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
According to a report from Fightful Select, Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks are not currently booked for Wednesday night’s episode of AEW Dynamite. The three men were also not in Chicago, IL for Saturday night’s AEW Collision TV tapings. As we’ve been reporting here on eWn, the plan is to keep The Elite and CM Punk away from each other for the time being.
As of this weekend, people close to CM Punk were under the impression that he’d be showing up on Dynamite. Several pre-tapes were reportedly filmed with The Elite to progress their angles.
With CM Punk rumored for AEW Dynamite, it’s highly unlikely that The Elite will also be backstage at the Wintrust Arena. This comes as the company continues to keep all of those involved in the AEW All Out 2022 brawl separated. While CM Punk has reportedly tried to apologize, several members of The Elite have been unwilling to accept such an apology.
In other news, AEW President Tony Khan recently spoke with John Pollock and Brandon Thurston for POST Wrestling to discuss a variety of topics, including whether ROH’s weekly TV show was ever considered for the AEW Collision timeslot. “TK” said,
“Not for TNT. I think the idea of two more hours of AEW is very appealing. What it meant was that AEW Dark and AEW Dark: Elevation would be coming to an end, at least for now, and they were great shows, and they’ve been huge to the development of AEW. So many great wrestlers, from a developmental perspective, got their start in AEW on Dark or Elevation, and it includes a lot of people who have been champions and are a major part of the show now on a weekly basis. I think in the future, Ring of Honor is gonna be really important to the development of AEW, and thankfully we are able to devote thousands of matches across hundreds of episodes of Dark and Elevation to really fostering a young roster, building people up, and now I think we have a great outlet also in a sister company in Ring of Honor and also our partnership with New Japan Pro Wrestling, and other great partnerships, other companies we’ve worked with to create possibly excursions or other great experiences for our wrestlers to get experience overseas or domestically.”
