10 HUGE AEW Revolution 2023 Predictions You Need To Know

1. CM Punk Returns!

With a "defeated" Bryan Danielson in the ring, and MJF holding the BBB high aloft from the grasp of the people in the audience, CM Punk's return on the pay-per-view stage provides an incredible show-closing moment that makes good on a risky finish and creates monster buzz heading into Dynamite.

The former AEW Champion has been sneaking around on various social media accounts of late, dropping random replies to posts and in some cases further teasing out the fantasy booking many have begged for pitting his CMFTR unit against The Elite.

Speaking of Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks, they remain in possession of Championship belts but not much else. What's put a hold on bigger stories for them of late? Could it be the impending return of the 'Straight Edge Superstar' to set up the current biggest match the company has to offer?

And what of champion and challenger?

Danielson may push for a television rematch MJF will try to avoid, but Punk could push to get back in there with both of them having left money on the table with the 'Salt Of The Earth' and never found a proper opportunity to battle old pal Bryan on an AEW stage. To be the biggest story in WrestleMania season must appeal to the industry icon's legendarily large ego too.
