Wrestling Observer Live: CM Punk is AEW’s ‘Real World Champion’

Wrestling Observer Live: CM Punk is AEW’s ‘Real World Champion’

Andrew Zarian is back with another Sunday edition of Wrestling Observer Live talking about the latest in another busy weekend of wrestling.

On last night’s AEW Collision, CM Punk finally revealed what was in his bag and, to no one’s surprise, it was his original AEW World Championship before his departure last September. The first match for the “Real World Championship” happens this Saturday with Ricky Starks.

Also, FTR defended their AEW Tag Team titles against MJF & Adam Cole with a very dramatic ending, I talk about the match and about where all this is leading.

I also run through both tonight’s WWE NXT Great American Bash which features several title matches and the in-ring debut of Gable Steveson. I then preview next weekend’s WWE SummerSlam which will see Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso and more.

Plus, a review of Friday’s WWE SmackDown, the news that Vince McMahon had spinal surgery, an interesting AEW trademark, and more.

YouTube subscribers can watch above while website subscribers can listen below.
