Earning The Push

It happened. Hell froze over.

On Saturday at Survivor Series: War Games, CM Punk walked out at Survivor Series and back into the company that he had, ten years earlier, described as a cancer.

So this week's episode is about the biggest story in wrestling for years - why he's back, what we want to see him doing, the potential for Wrestlemania opponents, whether AEW will be kicking itself and loads more.

It's a Punktastic episode - because that's what you do when hell freezes over!

He's not signed - as far as we know - to either WWE or AEW. 

But that hasn't stopped CM Punk from being one of the most-talked about things in wrestling this week - as he teases appearances in both companies this month.

We delve into that on the podcast - along with plenty of talk about Survivor Series, a full AEW Full Gear preview (including why we're happy to see a rejuvenated Hangman Page back), where is Jade Cargill and loads, loads more.

The 'war' between NXT and AEW reignited on Tuesday with a loaded set of shows for both companies - with NXT coming out on top.

But really, it was the audience who was the winner - with appearances by The Undertaker, John Cena, Adam Copeland's AEW in-ring debut and loads, loads more.

We get into it all on this week's episode - including why competition is a good thing for everyone, why we're not anti-AEW (!), why Jade Cargill and Charlotte Flair is a money match, LA Knight's crazy twelve months and loads, loads more.

You think you know him?!

Well, maybe not - because WWE Hall of Famer Adam 'Edge' Copeland is now a part of AEW after debuting at Wrestledream and beginning a feud with former long-time partner Christian Cage. 

Meanwhile it looks like CM Punk could be returning to WWE at Survivor Series - something no-one could have seen coming! - and that all gives us plenty to talk about on this week's podcast.

Plus we've got a Wrestledream and NXT No Mercy review, fantasy-booking LA Knight, WWE loading up NXT for its head-to-head with Dynamite and loads, loads more.

Finally - The Rock has come back to WWE.
