I expect that Tony wrote Punk a very large check for his silence on this.


I don't doubt that WWE will try to reach out to Punk just to see if he wants to stick it tto AEW.

Not sure what industry you're in, but in mine you don't generally get a big cheque when you're terminated with cause.

Tony's legal counsel were unanimous in deciding on termination without cause. I suspect there is clear evidence and/or witness testimony to validate this decision. I'm sure it wasn't made lightly as Punk is a draw and a merchandise machine.

Bryan Danielson is the GOAT and really AEW should be built around him and Omega (IMO)

The AEW talent is unreal. None of these matches tonight had any business being as good as they were, with no real build, but that was a great PPV.

Message sent by the locker room, See you never CM Punk.

I just randomly ordered AEW All Out cause I had nothing else to do tonight, and I was pleasantly surprised. All the matches were super fun! Highly enjoyed this event. "The Final Countdown" is such a damn good theme for the American Dragon.

Fun night, they put on as good as of a buildup as they could and pulled it off. Props to Danielson for stepping up in place of CM Punk. Just one of the GOATS like it’s being said here. His press conference shows what a pro he is. Also shout out to Statlander, Orange Cassidy, Ruby Soho and even Saraya. Nice to see the mix happening.

I wanted to post this after Funks death, but forgot.



So from ECW when Terry calls for a chair, he gets a chair

It happens but it's rare. It seems easier to just pay them to go away so you made it so they can't sue you if they dispute your cause.

I'm not surprised. She looks like a WWE superstar, and probably wants that TKO platform.

I expect that they'll run her through NXT first like they usually do, but she certainly has the look that WWE wants, and it can freshen up the Woman's division. I mean they bought back Nia Jax (Bleah).



I wonder if they re goldberg her in WWE.

I see a lot of ratings on Twitter and is this just the way TV is now or has the popularity tumbled completly for wrestling?

I can't be that bad when WWE just sold for much and got huge TV deals.

Like I remember WWF(E) vs WCW and it was like 4 plus for each going into the 5's and The Rock and Mankind setting records.

Other sports are setting records and I see that WWE is pulling in like 1's and low 2's now and the other company with laughable numbers. Seems like a massive decline or is TV just down like that?

Crazy they can make so much money with a such a small audience.

Late to the party, but it would have been fun to watch an Omega vs Punk heat fest.

Both companies are generally the number one, or at least in the top-5 shows on cable on the nights they air, unless they're going up against the NFL or NBA, so that should tell you how much traditional TV viewership has declined overall.

That's crazy with population growth and how easily accessible TV is now opposed to that era.

And they charged 50 bucks for the pay per view!!!

TV isn't that accessible though. Especially cable packages. You know what is accessible? Internet. You can lay in bed and just watch things on your phone. I stream through my XBox when I want to watch things, not legally either so you aren't tracking my viewer numbers.
