Everyone tuned into AEW Dynamite to catch what CM Punk had to say in his second All Elite Wrestling appearance. Nobody in pro wrestling today can work the crowd like him, possibly with the exception of one John Cena.

It was interesting to see how he pretty much gave away Daniel Bryan's arrival during his segment. Also, is the fact that he mentioned AJ Lee during AEW Dynamite this week an indication of her arrival to the company?

So Paul Wight takes on QT Marshall at AEW All Out. Going into this match, there's not a soul in the world that expects Marshall to pick up the win. So why would he take the loss on AEW Dynamite which further diminishes his position in the roster?

Marshall is clearly a seasoned performer and wants to give the younger talent the rub. That said, AEW Dynamite leading into All Out wasn't the right stage for it.

Are you excited for the upcoming bout between Paul Wight and QT Marshall?
