On Saturday night’s premiere episode of AEW Collision, CM Punk made his big return to AEW television by opening the show with a hot promo and closing it with a win in a trios bout alongside FTR over Samoa Joe, Juice Robinson, and Jay White.
It’s been speculated whether Punk will appear on this week’s Dynamite.
The Elite (Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks) have done pre-tapes to advance some of their angles, and “there’s a good chance they’re not in the arena” for Dynamite, according to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select. CM Punk’s associates “claimed that he was planned for the June 21 show.”
If Punk is backstage at the show, it makes sense that The Elite will not be there, given their issues.
The current Dynamite card is as follows:
* The Hardys vs. The Gunns
* Jeff Jarrett vs. Mark Briscoe in a Concession Stand Brawl
* AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy and ROH Pure Champion Katsuyori Shibata vs. NJPW World Television Champion Zack Sabre Jr. and Daniel Garcia
* AEW TBS Champion Kris Statlander defends against Taya Valkyrie
* Blind Eliminator Tag Team Tournament to determine new #1 contenders to AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR
* Chris Jericho, Minoru Suzuki and Sammy Guevara vs. AR Fox, Darius Martin and Action Andretti
