Phil Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 I believe the next three shows are all from United Center. I know everyone thinks CM Punk is coming this Friday, but I get the sense they're not going to waste his debut on a 10pm Friday night slot and will wait for next Tuesday's Dynamite for the biggest crowd possible. Maybe they do a major tease for him tomorrow night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-ERIK- Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Punk debuting before Summerslam would be pretty cool but yea a 10pm slot is kinda late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Punk debuting before Summerslam would be pretty cool but yea a 10pm slot is kinda late. When is SummerSlam? I don't know that they really care about that, to be honest. Their viewership/audience is pretty consistent, and there seems to be genuine interest in what will happen on the Danielson/Punk fronts that I doubt changes based on if they have them debut before or after SS. I do think he makes a ton more sense to debut on Dynamite, though. I haven't seen the Rampage ratings/viewership numbers yet, but I'd imagine they're smaller than Dynamite, which is going on three years now in the same slot.

-ERIK- Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Summerslam is Satuday night They probably don't care but him stealing some thunder from SS would be pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 It would. I don't know if they'd actually do that, though. They may want to wait until more eyes are on them to do it, so not opposite a WWE PPV. Then again, no one is really watching WWE that much anymore anyway. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Link: The full quote: “It’s great to be able to have those possibilities and not to have everything spoiled for you. But on the other hand, I think everybody has a pretty good idea what to expect tonight. I don’t like to let people down, and I have no plans to disappoint anybody tonight. I think people are going to be very happy with what they see. They’ve been waiting to see this for a long time. And finally at The First Dance, I think we’re going to satisfy a lot of people and make a lot of wrestling fans really happy. And we’re going to make some new fans. There are going to be people that read about what happen tonight and they’re going to want to come check out AEW. And that’s exactly the reaction we’re looking for.” -- Holy shit, it's totally happening tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
