I'm so happy for Kevin Kelly. He's been so consistent and professional over the years in different companies over the years. He was great in ROH and NJPW. Knowing he is calling a worldwide wrestling show on TV is awesome. He deserves the best!

[@TheFlamingShark]

He's still doing NJPW, if anything Kevin is a true Forbidden Door signing as he will be the voice of Collision and still the voice of New Japan.

Hate him or love him this energy hasn’t been found on any AEW programming since he left I think he’s gonna be a legit tweener town to town whatever side the crowd is on he’ll act accordingly and is clearly very capable of doing so I’m here for it, I loved the vibe of the show overall as well can’t wait to see what’s next

[@ValhallaRaven]

He didn’t really leave..he was sidelined for 9 months after tricep surgery, as that’s generally how long it takes to recover. Not really his fault he wasn’t around.

[@DarkboyDranzer]

@@raoprateek619 that would’ve been a great name. If they went for “Fear The Revolt”, should be “FTRPunk” since the Punk culture is all about rebelling against authority

Punk is the biggest needle-mover AEW has. They need to protect him and push him to the moon. Hate him or love him, he's that guy.

They did push him to the moon and remember how it turned out? LOL

[@juanmontanez1729]

@jonathancilla3954 I thought FMJ was the needle mover ? 🤔

[@thomasgae88]

He's like a returning Goldberg from 2016. Everyone was so hyped he came back, including myself. Both of them. But when you grew up watching a Prime Goldberg or a Prime CM Punk, they are not the same when they are looking old. Maybe Punk will prove me wrong, but he should be at a point in his life where he's bringing money in to the company, but also pushing young talent up the ladder like for example a Wardlow.

[@MrPantera123456]

Yes he is!

[@cm9166]

Cm Punk is the only reason I rewatch AEW now

[@danielkuehl]

I love the Jim Cornette shirt guy getting on the broadcast all night. Great show, love the matches.

[@Ravi-kc3pr]

AEW feels different again

[@ZachMurtaugh]

So glad Punk is back

[@johnb.2006]

I LOVE The Hart Foundation tribute with their gear.

[@Inthebasementtv]

This felt like the A Show they need to do a brand split keep them totally separate and keep the storylines going no more random matches

[@BigBadWolf_357]

Not necessarily, usually the flagship show would have some type of storyline going for the main event

[@Inthebasementtv]

@@BigBadWolf_357 my only problem with aew is the storylines most of the show seem like just random matches and they have so much talent but not everybody can shine without doing a brand split

[@theJaRRoOnE22]

Well that’s kinda somewhat already the plan. Punk,ftr miro and others will be inclusive while some will be featured on both brands

[@carlosr6462]

great commentary team, they add a lot to the matches, made the guys look great... It was a very good show, production looks better than Dynamite.

[@johnface3474]

Yeah they add some professionalism to the show that’s missing elsewhere.

[@lemotek]

It really is amazing how a solid commentary team changes everything, it makes it seem like actual sport.

The thing is the time waits for no one and this should've happened like 10 years ago...his body was never in good shape and that catches up to him...and he looks not that great in the ring anyway nowadays...i'll give him 3 months max till he his body breaks again and what then? What is the excuse then? He needs a softer ring?

​@@V3LOC1TYFTWRoman had a different country in Puerto Rico shouting his name when he wasn't there.

All the current biggest babyfaces were created from feuding with him, he is part of the best storyline of this century and is on the longest reign in 40 years.

I don't understand the reasoning for canceling Punk because someone didn't like what he says, or says. He is a great performer. Egos need to be set aside for business. You can see why the Young Bucks, Page and Kenny Omega would not make it in WWE. WWE is full of egos and will crush anyone who tries to have bigger egos, and refuse to do business. The Young Bucks, Page and Kenny Omega need to suck it up and do what's right for business.
