i love how the entrance graphic plays a role in teasing out the return. from CoP's openng riff, you get cityscape shots of Chicago, then the Chicago flag, you get the crossed fists, you get the Best In The World graphic... all edging you toward the return without telling you that the return is actually happening until "LOOK IN MY EYES" with the graphic CM PUNK, and then Punk walks out right on the mark. It's an incredible double pop from the opening riff to Punk walking out. Masterpiece. Art. 10/10.
Yeah, watching it again from this angle you can't help noticing how the already monolithic pop just keeps building with every element they add: theme, stars, logo, catchphrase, name, man.
so glad he is finaly where it belongs the feud with drew mcintyre and seth rollins are revolutinizing the wrestling right now aew fumbled big and they didnt even used him like they should ve look at what wwe is doing this is the best version of cm punk since 2014
The crowds at wrestling events,the chants etc ,wow amazing next to none.. I Been to a couple of pay per views that I didn't like half the matches but the crowd made up for it.
@ “pretty good” ? The ratings attendance and interest level are all at all time lows They literally resorted to 1-2k capacity arenas while making under 600k the new norm for there ratings NXT the brand of rookies with no name value (YET) has more hype then them somehow . There ratings have been better then AEW collision rampage and dynamite for months. U cant say anything is good when every metric imaginable is down the drain. If AEW’s good or if it’s “where the best wrestle” why doesn’t anyone go to there shows , watch there shows or talk about it ?
Lol yea ok.. if you think that stupid fight is gonna take the pop away when punk comes back you really don't know nothing about him lmao the fight fits so well with his heel persona it's crazy.. he's gonna come back as a heel if he comes back and it's gonna be awesome and VERY loud if it happens
@@teh_justin2860 Speak for yourself, not the rest of us.. nothing is tainted in my eyes.. I'm a 38 year old wrestling fan and shit like this used to happen weekly in wrestling.. I couldn't care less about it tbh.. people fight, people argue, it is what it is
Everytime this company runs the United Center, i think how much better Mania 22 would have been instead of being in small allstate building...😉 #ClobberingTime 😎
Regardless of what you think of him, this return was one of the coolest moments in wrestling in a VERY LONG TIME
It all went downhill
Glad me and my son were there to witness this
And the loudest reactionaries ever too
Not as loud as the Survivor Series pop
@@ryanrantovich8308this rampage one was the 2nd loudest pop ever, after the survivor series one

Wow they spoiled it and ruined it.. that's probably why the Survivor Series pop was louder
Also Kahn came out right before the show started and basically spoiled it too. I just remembered that. I remember i was mad about that too
One more week till he returns to the United Center and comes home to WWE
Perfect camera usage :) thank you. Must have been an incredible moment
Very few people who could polarize a crowd like this...wwe dont have anyone who can draw this kind of raw emotion
um... cody? sami? and now the usos?
@@sakshamsharma3527 not even close lmao
Cena rock 😂
@@Sanjeev749 nope. Not even close
Roman, Cody and Sami are way better than this guy at this, and everything else.
Can’t wait for him to come back
Me too
Oh it's happening! AEW Collision! LFG!!!
@@shoWbitz Let's gooo!!
He’s back!!
Back at Collision 💥
Even after the last year of drama. This will always be one of the greatest moments in the history of the sport of kings
Even before his music hit, the stage lights were already foreshadowing he was there!
Wow can't believe I still got goosebumps😮
I've been watching wrestling on and off since I was in the 3rd grade in 2009. This is the best crowd reaction and the coolest moment I've ever seen.
That pop at 1:39 ... my goodness that was something...
Once I saw the red and white lights I knew it had to be Punk lol
I love this angle the most out of anyone i’ve seen. The build up of the graphics followed by him appearing out of the smoke
imagine if this is like someone's first time going to a show
For me it was my first ever wrestling show I been too
The Second Coming! AEW Collision! LFG!!! 👊
yeahhhhhh
How badly it went but how cool this was 😂
CM PUNK DID NOTHING WRONG!!!
collision time baby
LFGGGG 🔥🔥🔥
so glad he is finaly where it belongs the feud with drew mcintyre and seth rollins are revolutinizing the wrestling right now aew fumbled big and they didnt even used him like they should ve look at what wwe is doing this is the best version of cm punk since 2014
Seeing someone this over must drive The “Elite” INSANE! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I Believe It Does
One day Larry the Dog will Main Event WrestleMania
Larry the Dog will finish his story
He deserves it
Larry vs ace steel
Who has the stronger bite

The elite will never be on his level 😅
The best in the world ❤
Any member of the Elite wishes they could get a reaction like this.
They already did at Full Gear 2022. Why the petty shot?
And then punk ruined everything for himself. Elite are atleast consistent in wrestling.
Fun times being live there
1:37 I remember when he made his debut To AEW i was like Omg Omg Omg omg omg omg omg it's cm punk he's back
When CM PUNK finally came to AEW, imagine he said on the mic, “DID U MISS ME” then his theme hits, that would be waaaaaaaaaaaay better
2:59 Perfect Timing For Him To Stand Up
Definitely planned that but it was an amazing spot in the song to stand up.
CM GOAT🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
some say on quiet nights you can still here United center popping
cant wait ill be there for Collision when THE BEST IN THE WORLD RETURNS HOME!
Back when rampage was relevant and the company could fill seats smh , Good Times smh
there still doing pretty good nowadays but not as amazing as that 2019-21 era

What a pop!
Happy riot time
Really good camera footage for sure
It will never be that way again

bro cm punk is that big he will get a pop any day anywhere
The show is fucking terrible without him. The ratings are getting worse.
Think again pal
It was electric
goosebumps
Cm Punk > than the elite
How things change
Things change? If he comes back he will get this exact reaction if not louder lol
@Michael Sweeney it still leaves still a huge stain on him as a person

Where is the music lol
❤
BRO I M AO ANGRY HE IS STILL IN AEW I REALLY WAITED FOR HIS WWE RETURN
I am also waiting but ont day he comes wwe
He's most likely to never go back to wwe
Me too
He hates wwe. If you want to watch him all you have to do is turn your tv on and watch AEW
@@Aussieduderivs1 yes o know and i do

Punk and Cody. Legends.
The Elite.. a total joke. 😊
Selling out arenas. Tell me when hes telling lies
What section is this?
The only time when AEW sold out tickets
Bro watching this in 2024, it doesn’t even feel like this happened in aew with the way they’ve been going since last year. Crazy difference
Great return..but a premadonna. He could have made AEW something special. But, his ego got in the way....sad but true.
