Game Changer? Tony Khan Makes Big Announcement On AEW Dynamite, Possible Ramifications

We have a new one. There have been very few people in the last couple of decades who have shaken up the wrestling industry like Tony Khan. By starting All Elite Wrestling, Khan has instantly become one of the most powerful names in the sport and that continues to this day. Khan making an announcement or a decision can be a game changer, and now he has done it again.

Last week on AEW Dynamite, Khan officially announced that Collision would be debuting on June 17, along with upcoming dates for several episodes. However, he did not announce the location for the debut episode, which he promised for this week. This week, Khan announced that the show will debut at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. This comes after speculation that should the show be anywhere else, CM Punk may not be making his rumored debut.

AEW has been there before. Check out their time in Chicago over the years:

Opinion: In case there was any doubt that Punk was going to be there in the first place, this should probably seal it. If nothing else, it’s hard to imagine that AEW is stupid enough to go to Chicago with this many rumors swirling without having Punk in their back pocket. That was the case a year and a half ago with the First Dance and it should be the case again here.
