The CM Punk legal action stuff is so interesting, because what it implies is that CM Punk is really important to the company moving forward. If it were a case of him simply being a headache and them being better off without him — why not do better off without him?
I wonder if the performance of Collision is somehow vital to AEW’s future? For example: What if TK needs a major, major rights fee increase in order to justify his expenses and keep TV partners interested in them as a growing commodity? Collision could have been a gambit to encourage WBD to pay them the money they need by generating more profitable content for WBD. If Collision is DOA, then it’s possible that AEW doesn’t command the leverage needed to secure a long-term TV deal that allows TK to continue throwing the money around to keep AEW situated.
I’m very curious to see how this plays out and what TV deal ends up being announced (if any).
