“Replacing The G.O.A.T. With This Random Jobber”: 30-Year-Old Officially Replaces CM Punk as AEW Collision’s Poster Boy, Fans Extremely Disappointed

It’s only been a day but fans are still shocked with the bombshell news of superstar CM Punk getting fired from AEW. Just like WWE’s Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar, Punk was AEW’s star performer and fans were left dumbstruck by his sudden dismissal. And to make matters worse, Punk is being wiped out from the AEW as we speak.

Ever since Punk’s erasure from AEW, fans have been vocal about Tony Khan’s treatment of the AEW World Champion. They believe that Punk helped build AEW and deserves a much better send-off.

AEW replaced CM Punk’s previous position as the face of  ‘Collision’

CM just made his return to AEW Collision three months ago. His return caused ratings to skyrocket, cementing him as the main attraction of the weekly show. After his backstage altercation with Jack Perry at All In, and subsequent investigation by AEW, Punk was terminated from his contract with the promotion.

On Saturday, AEW put out a statement about terminating all agreements with CM Punk after a week-long investigation into the altercation. CEO Tony Khan was even booed by Punk’s hometown crowd of Chicago right before the start of Collision.

Quick to move on, AEW has already replaced Punk’s face with another, relatively unknown, performer. He has been replaced by Jay White, who is currently the leader of the Bullet Club Gold. With Punk having headlined the show for the last few months, this has fans understandably upset.

Equally quick to respond, fans took to social media to voice their opinions on the perceived disrespect against Punk.

Fans think AEW’s Collision will tank soon after CM Punk’s exit

With Punk headlining for Collision, he was the reason fans thronged to the arena for the weekly show. After his termination and replacement, many took to social media to voice their disapproval, with some even saying that Collision may tank.

A fan pointed out that CM Punk doesn’t need AEW anymore.

One fan was still in disbelief that CM Punk was actually fired from AEW.

Some were interested in how Collision would go with the Bullet Club Gold running things now, after Punk’s termination.

How do you think AEW handled Punk’s termination? Will Jay White be able to live up to Punk’s hype?
