Apparently Punk signed with AEW this morning. I wish that he and DB would have been kept under wraps but either way, super exciting news. Now AEW is officially the number one company in the world, blowing WWE and Roman Reigns out of the water.

They’ve got a very similar problem to the WWE, where they cap themselves with bad content that makes whatever good you drop in irrelevant. You’re not replacing anyone with Punk and Bryan. You’re basically just wasting whatever time they might have left on their careers.

I'm excited for Bryan and Punk in AEW but they're not on Roman's level, in terms of star power.

Of course they are. They were top faces naturally chosen by the fans in an era that had more people watching. Reigns couldn’t even get over as a face despite massive and sustained company backing.

They were cheering Braun Strowman over Roman. Not very hard, but is Braun a bigger wrestler than Roman? Is he a bigger star? Roman’s push to general audiences and his appearances in film(s) make him a bigger star. Not necessarily someone who gets the best reactions or even has the best matches (although he is one of the best going today), but definitely the biggest star next to John Cena and Goldberg in terms of guys actually doing stuff right now. |

The company backing is literally what kept him from getting over. As soon as they stopped doing that and turned him heel, everyone did a 180 and raved about how he's the best thing in wrestling right now.
