Breaking: Tony Khan has just revealed his ‘major’ announcement about AEW Collision and it was certainly a major: the return of CM Punk!
Coming straight from CEO Tony Khan, the announcement was made that AEW Collision beginning on June 17th will feature CM Punk.
Punk was originally set to be included in the original Collision announcement earlier this month, but things hit a snag when he and AEW didn’t agree on the role Ace Steel would have in the company going forward.
He was then pulled from all promotion for the new show at the last minute, but evidently things have now been smoothed over and it’s all systems go.
You can see the video of Khan’s announcement below.
