As PWMania.com previously stated, while CM Punk was not officially announced for a match or segment for this week’s AEW Collision in Hamilton, he was always scheduled to perform in some capacity.
In a tweet, AEW President Tony Khan announced that Punk will be doing commentary for the Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament quarterfinal match between ROH World Television Champion Samoa Joe and Roderick Strong. Punk defeated Satoshi Kojima in the quarterfinals of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door II on Sunday, and will face the winner of Joe vs. Strong in the semifinals of AEW Collision on July 8.
“THIS SATURDAY @CMPunk will be on commentary for @RoderickStrong vs @SamoaJoe Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament Quarterfinal on #AEWCollision! Punk fights the winner of Strong vs Joe in the semifinal NEXT Saturday! Don’t miss Saturday Night Collision @ 8pm ET/7pm CT on TNT!,” Khan wrote.
Punk also played another role during this week’s Collision tapings, which we won’t reveal here. You can read our live spoilers from Thursday night’s AEW Collision tapings at the FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, by clicking here. These spoilers will be broadcast on Saturday, July 1.
It was previously reported that AEW was looking to revive the legendary Punk vs. Joe indies feud for Collision, and we’ve recently seen the seeds for that program planted.
