CM Punk set the wrestling world on fire this past Friday when he made his AEW debut on Rampage. He followed up that appearance with his AEW Dynamite debut this week in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. At the top of the second hour, Tony Schiavone would interview CM Punk and ask what was the one thing that brought Punk back to professional wrestling.
Throughout the course of the interview, the crowd would start a Daniel Bryan "YES" chant; which led to a smirk by CM Punk, and the following bombshell of a quote:
"That's somebody else's shtick, and you might just need to be a little bit more patient, okay?" said Punk.
CM Punk seemingly just dropped another pipebomb as he literally just confirmed that Daniel Bryan aka Bryan Danielson is going to be All Elite. Both the crowd and the internet went wild after that line.
