>As things stand right now, the return of C.M. Punk is scheduled for a 6/17 show at the United Center in Chicago, which being a Saturday night show, is likely the debut of the new weekly show.
>The rumor of the new show name is AEW Collision, based on a trademark the company took out some time back, when the talks with WBD for the new Saturday show got serious.
>At press time everything was not finalized, but the building is booked and it likely will be announced very shortly, when the Punk deal and the TV deal are finalized. Obviously with the building deal in place, the TV deal has to either be done or they must be almost certain of it.
>The decision on Punk returning was made many weeks ago, although there was a snag two weeks back that has evidently been worked out.
>Obviously being at the United Center, the show will be heavily promoted and have a theme name, which evidently has been decided upon.
