11 Ups & 1 Down From AEW Dynamite (Jun 14 - Review)
10. Return Of The Punker
AEW
CM Punk has scores to settle.
CM Punk doesn’t know what he’s going to say until he’s in the ring with a microphone in his hand.
CM Punk has a lot of things to get off his chest.
The only thing for certain about CM Punk, is that nothing's for certain.
Alls he’s saying right now is that Saturday’s Collision is unmissable stuff. There was quite the sharp contrast between FTR and Bullet Club Gold building the match later on the show, which served as yet another reminder of how much more captivating the facts are than any kind of fiction, but few have walked the line better in the history of the industry than CM Punk.
He’s back, and love him, hate him or no-longer-even-know-what-you-want-from-him, he made it impossible not to want to tune in to watch him.The clobberin’s already been promoted. What else will it be time for on Saturday night?
