AEW talent might not have been invited to the Warner Bros Discovery upfront presentations, but the company was still a big focus during the event at The Theater at Madison Square Garden. The company’s new television show, Collision, was announced. Now fans have another show to watch every week, and it will block off two live hours of television every Saturday.

PW Insider noted behind their paywall that a lot of AEW talent were shocked that CM Punk wasn’t announced as part of the Collision announcement. After all, he is expected to be a big focus for the show.

There was a lot of surprise among AEW talents today when CM Punk was not announced for Collision.  We are told that as late as last night, Punk was expected by many to be front and center for the Collision reveal.

AEW still has time to announce CM Punk’s return to the company. At this time, he is still very much expected to show up in Chicago for the company’s debut episode of AEW Collision.

This is quite an interesting situation, because CM Punk’s return to the company could also initiate a roster split. Only time will tell how AEW deals with this situation, because there is still a lot to unpack for their upcoming Saturday show.
