Wrestling Observer Live: The latest on CM Punk returning to AEW

Andrew Zarian also talks about building new stars.

I am back with another Sunday episode of Wrestling Observer Live, discussing all the latest from the week in professional wrestling.

More details came out this week regarding CM Punk’s return to AEW and the pending third television show he would star in. We now know that it is likely taking place at a soon-to-be announced United Center event on June 17th.

I also answer my producer’s question about why AEW needs Punk back and why it is so hard to make new stars.

I also run through Friday’s WWE SmackDown and discuss why Solo Sikoa might just be the next big star they need in WWE. Also, let’s preview WWE Backlash and the random addition of Seth Rollins vs. Omos.

Plus, I talk Stardom All-Star Grand Queendom results, Mercedes Mone` sticking around NJPW/Stardom for a while, thoughts on Friday’s AEW Rampage and more.
