Is Punk still under whatever WWE/Fox deal he had?

It was only with FOX IIRC. Would that prevent him from doing anything with AEW?

I'm gonna guess the ladder match surprise is Mike Bailey and the teased surprise is Batista.

As much as I didn't like Brock in WWE, it was mainly because he was always feuding with Undertaker, Reigns, Seth, or Strowman. Like you get the dude on a limited match contract and just have him fight the same people over and over again.

I don't really keep up with rumor mill It’s as possible as anyone else not under contract with WWE right now I guess. I don’t want to see Lesnar in AEW, personally. To be honest I don’t think there are any “big” names I want to see them sign until they have their second show up and running and there’s time for the current roster. Feels like they’re going to end up moving away from building their own stars and buying existing guys which is TNA as gently caress. I get that they want to get eyes on the product and big names will do it but it’s still kind of lovely.

I don't really keep up with rumor mill Lesnar isn't currently under contract and anything is possible where the Khan family bank account is involved. I'd be interested in Lesnar, he's an incredible presence and athlete and he can have good matches when he's not locked into the "suplex city" template that they stuck him in after he squashed Cena. I think AEW could do some cool poo poo with him. But I doubt he's the guy.

The man’s big but he’s a psychopath who uses slurs on the record. Can’t imagine there are folks seriously giving props to AEW for progressive values in 2021, but still, it wouldn’t be a good look.

Can’t imagine there are folks seriously giving props to AEW for progressive values in 2021, but still, it wouldn’t be a good look. I mean, after Darby and Roberts got their passes, Jericho continues to be a vocally anti-mask Covid Truther Chud with zero consequences, and Hager continues to have a job, what's the harm at this point? At least as far as I know Brock has the brains to keep his bigotry to himself these days. Last time I heard about him using a slur in a public statement was less recent than Ronda. Low bars, granted, but Wrestling is the lowest bar industry, and AEW would still be head and shoulders above basically every other major company EVER in terms of doing non-lovely things even if they did hire someone like Brock.

Brock as one of AEW's elder managers. Guy doesn't even have to talk like Taz just come out with slightly smaller Brocks and beat up whoever.

Just wild to think about who it could be. If i had to name one person for the signing, i am going Christian. He doesn’t have that brand loyalty stuff and it’s not like WWE respects the guy.

I'd be mildly disappointed if it was Christian, but it would make sense given what Paul said about it.

I get that they want to get eyes on the product and big names will do it but it’s still kind of lovely. MJF and Darby are being pushed to the loving moon currently, with major stars (Jericho, Sting, Taz) basically existing to give them heat and a push. If it's someone like Cena or Lesnar (lmao), they'd be there to beat a Omega or whatever, than job to one of them. EDIT: I think AEW is the only currently ongoing promotion that knows how to use Legend level talent.

If it was Cena or Lesnar someone in WWE would spoil it out of spite. Cena is too unrealistic anyway.

I guess on the podcast when TK is talking about the reveal, he said the words “it’s true” so now people wonder if it’s Kurt Angle. Hell, maybe it’s somebody who isn’t at that level and could be at that level sometime and they want to make it a big deal and start a push. I don’t even know. So many pastabilities!

If it was someone on the level of Cena/Lesnar the bidding war would've leaked, because they'd be dumb not to get Vince and TK bidding against each other. Angle, Christian, someone on that level that WWE's done with beyond outside-the-ring projects & occasional nostalgia pops is far more likely. that said this is a lot of hype for like, Carlito. so who knows.

Glad that's still working out for him he makes money doing one of the easiest talk show spots in the world, isnt technically employed by the wwe so has a ton of freedom to do other projects, and doesn't have to wrestle, a thing he doesn't want to do seems to work out for him ok i have no interest in aew ever working with punk unless punk wants to wrestle, and if punk wanted to wrestle, he would have found a way to by now

Tony K on AEW unrestricted saying the rivalry between Mox and Kenny ends this sunday is kind of a silly because it basically all but confirms Kenny will win, which I know most people think but it's nice to not be able to know the finish either way. My brain is severely bad so i'll probably forget he said that by Sunday

Why would Moxley win when Kenny hasn’t done poo poo with his belt collector gimmick yet, it seems obvious.

My brain is severely bad so i'll probably forget he said that by Sunday i thought it was pretty obvious kenny is winning just from rational booking but you could take his comment to mean it either way, theyve fought a ton and kenny only won with cheap shot bullshit so if moxley wins this it's not like kenny deserves to still fight for the big belt. its my 2 cents
