There is believed to be a roster split coming to AEW with the idea of building their reported Saturday show, AEW Collison, around CM Punk as a way to separate him from those who don’t like him.
Thus, AEW will have to have some sort of roster split for Punk to have people to work with.
Punk is slated to return on June 17, 2023, at the United Center in Chicago, IL for the debut of the show.
In the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer wrote the following,
“Punk will be the star of Collision most weeks, but he will be on Dynamite at times when needed. Those with unresolved issues with Punk would be on Collision the week he’s on Dynamite,” Meltzer wrote.
Additionally, there will be less of a split with the women’s roster due to a lack of depth. Plans are said to be “up in the air” and nothing is final. The idea is still to get people to resolve their issues.
