Are champions able to cross brands? After they lose the title, I’m wondering what determines what brand they go to.

Good point about Canada. Hopefully Collision is on TV and not TSN+.

This has been my concern. I was able to see the first dozen or so Rampage episodes because they were getting uploaded in full to YouTube but that died off

If they lose on a random episode, then they are trapped on whatever show that happened on. If they lose the belt on a pape, there's a very real chance they get stranded trying to find their way back.

I'm looking forward to seeing wrestlers I like do wrestling on a night that's especially good for me most weeks.

If I have hopes for the show it's a unique stage and ring setup and more women's wrestling. I like how ROH is structuring their shows on Honor Club but I know part of what makes that work is the lack of ad breaks. Would prefer a softer brand split that still presents wrestlers who go between shows in unique contexts - again, ROH is doing great at that.

Either that or swing wholly the other way and give me a show that feels like if everyone on WCW Thunder 2000 had legitimate ring time to go along with Terry Funk dressed as a janitor or Positively Kanyon cuttering everyone. I'm entertained either way.

I hope 2 weeks after the hard brand split is introduced Tony adds a new rule that up to 4 Superstars from each Brand can show up to the other Brand per week. If any Superstars in excess of the 4 show up they will be fined or possibly suspended. I don’t know what you’d call such a rule but “Wildcard Rule” has a nice ring to it. It would also be great if sometimes more than 4 people show up but the fines/suspensions that were mentioned never actually come into play.

CM Punk has always been not affiliated with AEW Collision. Since the beginning of your life, since the beginning of the Promotion, since the beginning of history, always the same war.

I don't think that's necessary. TNT/TBS mostly defended on Rampage/Collision with the other titles floating is just fine, when I say I want a brand split it's more so there can be bigger stories on other shows instead of The Elite/AEW Title/BCC stories bleeding into all three shows and making them all feel the same

Teams like Dark Order/Best Friends/Butcher & Blade and Mogul Affiliates should have a place to flourish if they're only going to be guest stars in other people's stories on Dynamite

That's exactly what it is, but it's weird that WBD wouldn't have wanted Punk showcased on the Collision announcement since they thought his involvement was so important thus I'm going to assume talks collapsed and they had to change the presentation at the last second and one thing referencing Punk slipped through.

I guess if they're not going to have any talent at the upfront because of the writer's strike (I'm sure the strike doesn't affect AEW, but it sounded like a blanket thing) and they had intended for Punk to be there, then maybe it matters less when he's announced. Press release is anti-climactic; at least cryptic messages on TV or something will build interest in the fanbase, if they go that route and don't just outright announce him. Feels very much like his debut where the fans assume he's going to be there and will tune in either way to find out, so maybe they don't want to mess with the formula.
