Man, they really stretched these matches out.

 

Honestly, I'd bet a bunch of people bought tickets thinking they'd get Kenny/Will or Kenny/Okada...and most of the rest just wanted to be at a huge AEW show.

Sorta like nobody is buying WM40 tickets to see the big Roman Reigns bloodline payoff...they're going because its usually got some spectacle worth seeing.

 

two things can be true

losing him is the best thing that can happen for the company internally


it will probably negatively impact the business short term

 

I’d have to research the timeline between tickets sold and when collision/punk was announced

 

Y’all Bryan is back from a broken arm in record time. Punk brought me back to wrestling and his initial return was fucking magic but that dude sucks shit and Bryan kept me a fan after he left in 14 and he’s about to do it again.

YGGYFHKI

 

Wembley definitely sells out without punk. AEW gets better ratings in the UK than WWE right now, and when was the last time the UK got an event as massive as All In? It certainly wasn't MITB or clash at the castle.

 

They sold 90% of the tickets before pretty much all matches were announced

 

This is probably the best Nak has worked in his main roster matches, and its still sorta meh

 

Also, I can deal with all the tweets posted here, but a cornette tweet is crossing the line

 

No we won’t, tickets sold next year won’t have any correlation to punk not being there lmao

people bought tickets because it was becoming one of the biggest wrestling events ever. You’re going to have diminishing returns the second time no matter what unless the card is announced in advance next time and stacked.

to pretend that Punk is why they damn near sold out Wembley is absolutely insane fanboy opinion.

 

Is wwe still pumping in some fake crowd noise? Feel like no matter what’s happening there’s always more noise than there should be, idk

 

I canceled peacock last month did nakamura win

 

I don’t even like Punk that much

 

Not yet

 

Somehow this match is still going. Gonna guess Seth barely survives then gets cashed in on

 

Manifesting a main roster Shinsuke match that I’ll actually pay attention to.

 

I think AEW was more interesting as a promotion with Punk involved but they are better off long term without him but the next few weeks of booking are crucial

Put on a killer Grand Slam event and most people will forget all about this

 

Every match tonight has been like 10-15 minutes too long

 

Oh shit I still have peacock until the 8th lol

 

Right so he created a lot of momentum and then derailed it all, every single time lol.

 

Booooooo

 

Crazy to think that Shinsuke has been in wwe all this time doing nothing and is just totally cool with it

 

What a wet fart of an ending

 

Rollins wins @shea

 

Got to see 30 seconds of the match hell yeah lol
