That "something else" being AEW's plans to move on from CM Punk.

Look, Punk is a big star and creates a ton of chatter, but a lot of that talk is negative. His backstage fighting record is getting so out of hand that Shane McMahon might be giving the dude a call to be on 'Raw Underground'. Punk is the common denominator in all of that behind-the-scenes tension too, and it needs to stop.

Sunday is a big night for The Elite. It's a chance for someone like Kenny Omega to turn in a world-class performance, then pin down Tony Khan backstage and suggest ol' CM ain't the future of AEW. Yes, yes All Elite Wrestling should endeavour to move on from Punk again.

Whether or not it works this time is anyone's guess, but things cannot go on like this. All that negativity has a stranglehold on the company, and it's making a laughing stock of Khan's ability to lead. All Out must bring about change.
