CM Punk made an explosive return to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) on the premiere of their new Saturday night show, Collision, and didn't pull any punches. The WWE legend had his boots hanging around his neck and addressed the hometown crowd in Chicago with admiration.
Punk spoke directly to his critics and pointed out that some people hate him just because of who he is. He declared that he is "the truth" and that the truth can be scary. He also took a jab at the Young Bucks, calling them "counterfeit bucks" and saying that the Warner Bros CEO calls him "One Bill Phil" because he's the genuine article.
Punk also had some words for those who wanted an apology from him. Instead of an apology, he said sorry that they were softer than their favourite wrestlers.
The main event of the night saw Punk team up with FTR and Dax Harwood to take on Samoa Joe and the Bullet Club duo Juice Robinson and Jay White. Punk and his team delivered a fantastic main event and the Shatter Machine and GTS on Robinson helped them to victory. Earlier in the night, Christian helped Luchasaurus to victory over Wardlow, becoming TNT Champion in the process.
The night also saw Andrade El Idolo make a comeback and use wife Charlotte Flair's Figure Eight leg lock to pick up the win against Buddy Matthews. Miro also made a comeback to score a dominant victory over Tony Nese, while Skye Blue and Willow Nightingale overcame The Outcasts' Toni Storm and Ruby Soho in an entertaining clash.
AEW Collision airs Saturday nights at 1am on Fite TV. If you're a fan of wrestling, don't miss your chance to watch CM Punk's return to AEW and the other great matches taking place on the show.
