Yeah he will pin some guys like Darby or Sting on Dynamite.

I hope they hold off Sting vs Punk for a nice solo program. Maybe when Punk eventually goes heel.

The difference is Tony Khan is legitimately richer than all those other people, possibly combined. Khan's net worth is 7B, WWE's market cap is 3.6B (some analysts say the company is worth close to 5B). In any case, unlike those other guys, Khan can afford to run this vanity project for decades.

Turner is the real 1st who kept a vanity project running and likely would still have it running had he not lost control through mergers etc. WCW was losing $6 million a year in early 90's. Its said a Turner Executive brought up closing WCW. Ted its said told him to never bring that up again. lol

Considering CM Punk returning and just talking was a massive, era-defining moment, I see no reason to combine him with the champion storyline until later, so you get at least two “hills” to his debut with the company.

I literally don’t see any way that putting him in the championship picture adds to him right now; he can’t really get any bigger right now because of how special his return by itself is. Milk that moment for its own, once-in-a-lifetime value, than milk his return to the championship picture for its own power once he’s re-established, and use him to make sure people pay attention to the younger stars and other storylines as well, so that he and the other talent can be slotted into a stronger, more fertile ground throughout the years.

Exactly this.

There's no reason to rush anything.

Let AEW maximise Punk's return to strengthen the roster.

So, saw a clip where Roman tells Cena if he looses at Sumerslam, he'll leave the company. At first, I figured they just gave away the end of the match- no way Roman is leaving, so he'll go over. But with the Delta variant surging, and Reign's history of health problems, I just started wondering if this is a way to write him off the show for the time being? Maybe he doesn't want to risk touring and being around live crowds (and I wouldn't blame him for that. His health has to come first).

That would be a wiser decision than not, really.

This might be one of the worst Summer Slams ever so far.

I thought they kinda ruined Becky's return and shit on Bianca's otherwise dominant reign.

[Jcogginsa]

They brought Becky back to counter CM Punk's return, and in doing so demonstrated why he left

[Immortal Weapon]

Why did had to crap on my girl Bianca like that? This is why this dumb company can't make stars.

[chachi]

Forgot Summerslam was tonight. Just read some results. 4 Title changes so far, not happy they crapped on Bianca, and yawn put the belt back on Flair, but happy to see RKBro and Priest win.

Brock Lesnar returned for that Saudi paycheck.

There was a time when Raw was the apple of Vince's eye and Smackdown was the red headed stepchild. Now Smackdown gets Edge, Cena, Becky and Brock. While Lashley gets saddled with a broken down Goldberg despite lobbying for Brock. Even though Raw needs storylines and quality wrestlers especially since it has 3 hours to fill but now everything is tilting towards Smackdown. What did USA do to Vince, first he starts to kneecap NXT and now this. Smackdown is now the hot mistress.

FOX is paying more for Smackdown than USA is for RAW. Thus they get the Stars.
