During today’s Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez and Mike Sempervive talked about what Tony Khan might announce this Wednesday on Dynamite.
Alvarez made it clear that nothing was confirmed to him but he believes that they will announce that they are headed to the United Center for the debut episode of Collision on June 17.
Alvarez also stated that he was told that the debut Collision show will have a special “CM Punk” tagline. Ahed of Punk’s debut in AEW in 2021, they used the “Last Dance Dance” for that episode of Rampage.
“What I know is that they have a tagline for this show,” Alvarez said. “I’m not talking about a tagline for Collision. I’m talking about a tagline for that specific show at the United Center. Whatever it is, I believe it’s CM Punk related. I think this time they’re going to announce that that is going to be where he is going to be returning and it’s not gonna be like the first time where it was a big surprise. I don’t know that for sure but the fact that they have a Punk related tagline tells me…I think at some point we are going to be told in advance for the debut of this big show.”
It has been reported by multiple outlets that the plan is for some sort of brand split with Punk as the star of the show on Saturday night and The Elite remaining on Dynamite.
