Will AEW Backstage Drama Between CM Punk & The Elite Spill Into TV Storylines?

It seems, for the time being, Punk and The Elite are set to occupy different shows, with Punk primarily appearing on “AEW Collision” while Kenny Omega, the Young Bucks, and Page mostly stick to “AEW Dynamite.” However, it’s possible that WBD officials believe Punk will still appear on “Dynamite” from time to time, with the two factions switching shows on the weeks in question.

Joining Punk on “Collision” will be AEW stars like Miro, Thunder Rosa, Andrade El Idolo, and Scorpio Sky — all talent who haven’t occupied a prominent place on “Dynamite” in quite some time. Additionally, the company’s champions are expected to appear on both shows, and reports of a potential roster split seem to have been largely overblown. Speaking about the prospect of the new Saturday night show, Punk seemed optimistic.

“With more TV time, you’re only going to see guys like Hobbs and Starks, people who I think have the potential to do what an MJF has done with his television time but they haven’t been able to be positioned because a guy like MJF gets a big lion share of television time, because he earned it,” the AEW star said. “We just need to do a better job of spotlighting so many different guys, and this is, for a lot of guys, sink or swim. Now it’s just like — well, now’s the time. You’re going to have to really bust your ass and prove why we’re giving you this spotlight and this TV time.”
