That was the hottest SmackDown since Mania.

[@bcrt2000]

Heyman has mentioned both on social media and in his HOF speech since Punk returned that: - he’s the wiseman to Roman - he was the advocate of Brock - he was best friends with Punk

[@depthsofhell]

Paul Heyman did in fact mention he is CM Punk's best friend in his Hall of Fame speech he said " I stand before you as the best friend of Chicago's very own CM Punk"

[@EmiruTran-jt5qg]

From start to finish this show was emotion. That's what's missing from AEW.

[@Mmgeneral]

Yeah Paul and Phil are actually close friends in real life. Phil’s discussed in interviews before.

[@freddycougar7156]

The AEW ratings fix is clear - Sheldon Cooper vs. Kendrick Lamar - Book it Tony!

[@Carlo.WTF416]

Yoooo, me and the homies used to get RAMBUNCTIOUS at Wide Open hahaha

[@andrewsheehy9938]

Get ready for Rewind-A-RAW to go head to head with a Stanley Cup Celebration on Monday Night. WWE Monday Night RAW is going to get low ratings in Canada on Monday Night. There's a good chance that the ratings for WWE Monday Night RAW this coming Monday could take a hit in the United States as well with Competition from Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final and a Potential 3rd and Deciding Game in the College World Series.

WWE is dominating AEW in every important way

[@andrewsheehy9938]

WWE is dominating Non-WWE Pro Wrestling Promotions right now in which they aren't doing collabs with. WWE would sellout the Tokyo Dome for a PLE in a heartbeat if they wanted to do a PLE aka PPV in Japan.

[@danielgrant3864]

Wooooooooo

[@colinmathie2710]

You can rise from the dead in 4 days, hell Jesus did it in 3 😀

[@PaulC07A]

AEW ratings are fine as long as CM Punk is right and it is not a real business. As long as Tony is happy and the ratings are good enough to remain on network tv then the party continues.

[@Mmgeneral]

Bit of a sad party these days
