Lineup for 'AEW Collision' accidentally leaked, CM Punk and 4 former WWE stars' return spoiled - Is it real or fake?

Recently a picture involving CM Punk broke the internet as it seemed to be a leaked lineup of AEW Collision's roster and the match card of the debut episode. Multiple former WWE Superstars were listed as part of the roster too.

Some of the stars listed on the paper were Miro, Andrade El Idolo, and more. Former WWE Superstar Matt Cardona is also tipped to return to the company. So, is the 'leaked' picture real? Well, at first glance it certainly seems to be an official list but upon further examination, it is evident that it's blatantly fake.

The piece of paper has misspelled names of wrestlers like Chris Jericho, Dax Harwood, Jake Hager, and Satnam Singh. If it was an official document, there would not be so many sloppy mistakes. Thus, this isn't a real document.

AEW does have a history of 'leaking' information in the past. CM Punk's initial debut was claimed to be the 'worst kept secret'. It was rumored that the promotion intentionally leaked the news in order to garner more attention from the public.

Tony Khan himself leaked the match card of the 2021 Full Gear pay-per-view when he appeared at a video appearance. He was holding the match card of the event. This was also speculated to have been intentional as a publicity stunt.

Thus, it does make sense why people may have believed this picture to have been real.

Wrestling veteran Konnan believes AEW botched CM Punk's run

During a recent episode of the Keepin' It 100 podcast, Konnan shared his thoughts on CM Punk's first run in AEW.

He claimed that Punk's majority of matches came against those who were not over with fans at that time.

"I hear it was Punk and not Tony that he [Punk] wanted to wrestle with these young talents. But he was wrestling with young talents that, number one, weren't over and, to this day, still aren't over. Lee Moriarty and all these other people that he was wrestling. In my mind it was like, you don't do what Punk wants, you do what the fans want. And that was a big mistake. They mishandled him coming back," Konnan said.

The Second City Saint was recently spotted backstage at WWE RAW a couple of weeks ago. He was reportedly there to settle his differences with The Miz.
