Paul Wight On The Impact CM Punk’s AEW Debut Will Have On The Wrestling Industry

Tonight’s episode of AEW Rampage is set to take place from the United Center in Chicago, and it’s been heavily rumored for weeks now that CM Punk will be making his AEW debut tonight.

CM Punk’s potential debut with All Elite Wrestling has been a very hot topic as of late, and during a recent appearance on ESPN’s Sportsnation Paul Wight noted that tonight’s episode of Rampage is one of the most anticipated events he can remember in a long time.

“Tonight is a night on Rampage where in the future, people are going to say ‘Hey do you remember when?’ Wight mentioned. “We’re in Chicago, United Centre, sold out. There’s a lot of rumors going around, a lot of scuttlebutt. There’s an opportunity tonight for someone to make an appearance on Rampage here in AEW that will literally knock the wrestling world on its keister. This is one of the biggest, anticipated events that I can remember in a long time.

“I was trying to think about it today, what is it compared to? Is it compared to Hulk Hogan going to WCW? Does it compare to the nWo? Stone Cold Steve Austin glass breaking Austin 3:16? What kind of an impact, if the rumors are true, will this have on the wrestling business. I can neither confirm nor deny what kind of an impact tonight’s Rampage will have on the wrestling industry for the future.”
