"It just doesn’t work" - Ex-WWE personality scorns AEW's 'experiment with CM Punk'

AEW's 'experiment with CM Punk' on Saturdays is bound to be unsuccessful, says former WWE personality Jonathan Coachman.

The wrestling world has been buzzing with speculation about CM Punk's potential return to AEW Collision. Initially, it was rumored that Punk would return on the show's debut on June 17. However, recent developments have cast doubt on this possibility. In a revised press release, Warner Bros. Discovery stated that Punk "is not affiliated with TNT's AEW Collision."

In a recent Twitter exchange between Raj Giri of Wrestling Inc. and Jonathan Coachman, Giri said it's risky. Still, AEW must make it work despite Punk's troubled relationship with them to avoid another rampage.

Coachman replied to his tweet saying he doubts the new Saturday Night Show's success, regardless of Punk's involvement. He believed that Saturdays are historically challenging for viewership.

"We tried for years to run a live show on Saturdays. It just doesn’t work. It doesn’t matter if the Rock was the backbone of the show it wouldn’t work. People just don’t watch tv on Saturdays. The CM Punk experiment should be about over," Coach tweeted.

As AEW Collision's fate hangs in the balance, wrestling fans eagerly await further developments regarding the potential involvement of the former AEW Champion.

While it remains to be seen how the promotion's decision to air their new show on Saturdays will pan out or if Coachman's concerns will prove to be justified.
