Still wondering if they open the show with him to avoid the chants or save it until the end

I’m not watching tonight (will be at the bottle and sadbird could care less about wrasslin) but rumors are they’re leading off with him to get it out of the way.
Where it goes from there, who knows, who cares. I assume his first match will be at All Out

The ice cream bars are a nice touch.

Hard to complain after a show like that, but it would’ve been wild if Jay White would’ve showed up (he’s wrestling in Chicago Heights tomorrow)

Summary of the presser last night via reddit:
CM Punk says he's been talking to Tony Khan for about a year and a half about coming to AEW
CM Punk says he couldn't debut without fans in the building
CM Punk says the ice cream bars were his idea. Said Jon Lester opening a tab at Chicago bars when he left the city to thank fans was an inspiration
CM Punk hasn't seen Dark or Elevation and doesn't really use Youtube. He says he watches DVDs and feels like Terry Funk now. He will watch everything moving forward
CM Punk puts over Britt Baker big, and says she's a great example of how to get a talent over.
CM Punk says Tony Khan had the idea to do a program with Darby Allin. Punk says if he were a teenager, Darby would be his favorite wrestler. He doesn't want to take Darby's suicide dive
CM Punk says a lot of time in talks with AEW, they said the same things at the same times. Said wrestling doesn't need to be as hard as people pretend it needs to be. You don't need 16 cooks in the kitchen
CM Punk says AEW lets people learn from their mistakes, and a generation of wrestlers had been told prior that if they messed up, they were fired
Tony Khan indicates there wasn't really a consideration to bring back Punk without fans. This gave them a lot of time to talk
CM Punk and Tony Khan laughed and said this was the worst kept secret of all time. Punk told his wife, and just told other people he couldn't talk about it
CM Punk said that the roster, and people around AEW not saying anything about Brodie Lee's illness before his passing made a big impression on him
CM Punk was not hidden backstage tonight at AEW Rampage. He was backstage socializing with the roster before the show
CM Punk says it was the worst kept secret by design, and surprises and anticipation in wrestling can still happen even in that case. He's happy they didn't advertise it
CM Punk says Bix is working on a Tandy (*this said after Bix was having trouble connecting to the call)
Tony Khan said they collaborated on the idea to do a short promoted show, and it came together exactly how they wanted. They wanted a surprise, but everyone to anticipate it
CM Punk says he hasn't had a problem with anyone today, when asked if he smoothed anything over with AEW wrestlers he's had issues with.
CM Punk is eating a melting ice cream bar. Says the internet will let him know if he's fat on September 5th
CM Punk mentions Jungle Boy, Kenny Omega, Young Bucks as people he wants to work with. "Who knows who else is coming? Well (Tony) probably knows."
Sting told CM Punk he was excited to work with him, and wished he could have in his prime
Tony Khan says Daniel Garcia working in top situations with AEW has been great. He's under an agreement with AEW, and they hope he's around there for a long time. Khan talks up how hard Garcia worked since his car accident
When asked about appearing in promotions, CM Punk says "I'm an AEW guy." He has freedom to continue MMA commentary, and doing other things.
CM Punk: "If (Tony Khan) tells me he wants me to go do the G1, we'll talk about it." Says he wants to swim in the AEW pool for a while

I don't know if I even want to hate watch WWE anymore after last night's Summer Shi* joke: 26 seconds is about how long I too would last with Becky Not joke: between last night and this nick khan interview I don’t even know who they’re trying to appeal to anymore. |

OK... so I watched the last Takeover before WWE turn NXT into a finishing school for jabroni robots.
I liked, but didn't love the card, although I will always mark for Samoa Joe, especially when he brings out the Muscle Buster. And Adam Cole, happy trails amigo, whether it's the main roster or "elsewhere"

It's an incredible look that they closed the show debuting two guys WWE couldn't resign so they both walked.

The 3 hours of AEW (on TNT) is sooo much easier and more entertaining than the 7 that WWE put on TV.
