So today we’ll be taking a look at the latest CM Punk and AEW news, Nikki Bella, and some
new Big E fan theories
For today’s question of the day: would you like to see CM Punk in AEW and would that
be a great addition for AEW?
More on that big story later on
Let’s start things off the Nikki Bella’s lost clothing and ring gear situation
Worn gear and other memorabilia from athletes and celebrities obviously have a lot of value
You see the stories in the headlines all the time how a sports player had a jersey stolen
from their locker and other situations like that
Well Nikki Bella was a victim to this same sort of situation
What had happened was that Nikki Bella sent WWE some of her gear for it to be publicly
displayed at Wrestlemania Access, which it was
But when it came down to wrapping Wrestlemania access up and taking everything down, Nikki
Bella’s gear obviously ended up in the wrong hands and was stolen, never returned to WWE,
and obviously never returned to Nikki Bella herself
It was Bella Twins superfan, Jake, that found an eBay listing of the wrestlemania access
gear and wondered if it was authentic or not
He got in contact with The Bella twins’ camp, it turned out to be stolen gear from
Wrestlemania, so he purchased it and shipped it back to Nikki Bella
What he wasn’t expecting was for Nikki Bella to sign the gear, throw in a few extra goodies,
and ship everything back to him to keep at no extra cost or anything else
So just another heartwarming story from both sides.
The fan buys the listing so Nikki’s stolen gear doesn’t continue to get in the wrong
hands and returns it to her, but Nikki thanks him by signing the gear and letting him keep
everything from that eBay listing
The fan has since put all of the gear up on a wall.
So a scary situation at first turned out to have a great ending for everyone involved

Let’s get into Big E and his cash in
Obviously, the women’s money in the bank briefcase did not last that long and was cashed
in within 24 hours
But when it comes to the men’s content with Big E, it doesn’t look like a sudden cash-in
is happening with him at all
WWE has made it clear that the contract is not limited to just your brand’s champion,
it can be cashed in on any world champion
as WWE sort of implied this week with Charlotte’s promo, NXT championships are not looked at
as world titles, so Big E can cash in on the WWE title or the Universal Title
There are a few good theories going on right now for Big E cashing in on the WWE championship
that a lot you were discussing in the comments, so let’s take a look at those ideas from
you
One idea was Big E cashing in on a weaken Bobby Lashley to avenge Kofi Kingston for
the beating that Lashley put on Kofi
That’s a great theory.
The new day never really broke up, Big E and Kofi are very much still close with one another,
so it makes sense for E to focus on cashing in on Lashley to make him pay for what happened
to Kofi
Another theory was a successful cash in for Big E at the big stage of this year’s Summerslam
Goldberg does the unthinkable and actually defeats Bobby Lashley for the WWE championship.
Maybe the crowd hates it, maybe they love it, who knows?
But obviously Goldberg can’t have a reign a WWE champion because his contract is only
for 2 matches a year
So maybe a frustrated Lashley gets up and completely lays Goldberg out in the middle
of the ring, that’s when Big E can come running down the ramp to cash in on Goldberg
Big E would then shift over to Raw and most likely instantly start a feud with Lashley,
who basically takes credit for E winning the title since he was the one that took out Goldberg
Then that takes us right into the Bobby Lashley vs Big E feud for late 2021
Obviously E cashing in on Roman is still in play, but at the same time, it’s sort of
out of the question
Roman’s title reign has become too historic to end to a money in the bank cash in.
Especially with all the layers of protection the character has around him with his stable,
there’s no way you can have a successful cash in on Roman unless you legitimately take
everyone in his stable out
So that’s why a cash on the WWE title just seems to be a bit more realistic for Big E
But how would you like to see Big E cash in his money in the bank?

Let’s get into the biggest story of the week and that’s the fact that talks between
CM Punk and AEW about a wrestling return seem to be back on
Reports claim that the talks between AEW and CM Punk have picked back up again recently
The two sides have negotiated in the past, but Punk has even stated himself that he didn’t
feel like it was taken too serious and he was turned off during that first conversation
and talks with them
But things seem to be back on and that CM Punk is allegedly closing in on a deal with
AEW
Bleacher Report and other massive reliable outlets have all been reporting the story
If it’s true, it’ll probably be up there as one of AEW’s biggest signings of all
time
WWE, from a star power point of view, is pretty hard to go against right now.
You have John Cena back full time for the summer, Goldberg is back, Roman Reigns is
doing his thing, Sasha, Becky Lynch, Bray Wyatt and more are all expected back soon
It’s really hard to compete with that much overall star power, but if AEW does land CM
Punk, you’ll do doubt bring a lot of eyes and attention back over to AEW
Even if someone has never seen or cared for AEW in the past, if CM Punk comes out of this
7 year retirement on AEW, people will watch, they will tune in
And if they get the rights to the ‘Cult Of Personality’ song and just give his wrestling
return this amazing presentation and added details, it could just as big as any WWE return
that’s happening right now
CM Punk always said that story and creative direction would play a big role in his return
to wrestling
Control of Creative direction in WWE is hard to get for majority of superstars, but AEW
has been said to turn creative control over to their bigger signings and let them have
a say in their own usage and storyline direction
So if you turn all that over to CM Punk along with a convincing deal, you may have just
enough to actually make him seriously consider it
It’ll be huge for AEW, no doubt about it.
You have CM Punk close out a show one week and then spend the next week building up to
him opening up the next episode of dynamite and the ratings will just sky rocket
Everyone will be there to witness CM Punk back in the wrestling ring and wanting to
hear what he has to say, why he’s here, and what’s next for him
A CM Punk AEW debut will be huge and will be right up there neck and neck with some
of the huge WWE returns we’ll see this summer
Money is never really an issue for AEW, everyone knows they got the funds, but will they be
able to close out this deal and actually secure CM Punk?
That’s what has everyone on the edge of their seats right now, but allegedly it’s
really close to happening
We’ll have to see what the future holds for a possible CM Punk wrestling return in
AEW?
What are your thoughts on today’s stories with Nikki Bella’s situation, Big E’s
cash in, and CM Punk possibly signing with AEW?
