If AEW dies soon it will be solely because of the CM Punk experiment that culminated in 2 reigns and 2 days as world champion, derailed the company's momentum and soured it's perception. While off topic, it also showed me, a diehard Punk fan, that he isn't actually worth a damn. He's a hypocrite, he's old and he sucks now.
If anything Cody is helping AEW by being infinitely more boring than Swerve.
