AEW Dynasty 2024: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True
2. Loud CM Punk Chants Blight Dynasty
If booming “CM PUNK! CM PUNK! CM PUNK!” chants do fill the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis on Sunday, then Tony Khan only has himself to blame. He was the one who put Punk’s name back on the lips of AEW fans everywhere by airing backstage footage from Wembley on Dynamite. That ridiculous decision can be tarted up as build for FTR vs. The Young Bucks, but no.
It was a dreadful call.
Pro wrestling crowds are known for their rebellious streak, especially in the modern era. People delight in trolling companies and loudly letting them know about it. In other words, Punk’s name could become a problem at Dynasty. Ospreay vs. Danielson? “CM PUNK!“. Swerve winning the World Title? “CM PUNK!“. You get the idea.
There should be a quick meeting before the show to outlaw any GTS-style moves too. That’d only encourage the masses to remind Tony just how stupid it was to use his company’s valuable TV time to focus on wrestlers who work elsewhere. Things could get even more miserable too...
