AEW: Skye Blue on Hometown Win at Collision, Tony Khan on CM Punk’s Return, New Mobile Game

Skye Blue Comments on Her Hometown Victory at AEW’s Debut Collision Show

This past Saturday’s AEW Collision debut show in Chicago, Illinois featured a Women’s tag team match of Skye Blue & Willow Nightingale vs. The Outcasts, which was won by Blue & Nightingale.

Blue recently reflected on Instagram about her tag team victory in front of her hometown crowd at AEW’s debut Collision show.

“If you would have told 17 year old trainee Skye that at the age of 23 she would pin Ruby Soho on the debut of AEW Collision in a SOLD OUT United Center, in my hometown of Chicago, AND my ass (quite literally) broke the internet….. I would have never believed you.

I still can’t wrap my head around all the feelings and emotions that went through me from the moments leading up to walking out onto that stage to me just typing this caption. I am so grateful for the opportunity to show the world who Skye Blue really is, and I can’t wait to keep making you all proud. I love pro wrestling so effin much, it’s my life, it’s all I know, and I can’t wait to wrestle til I’m 85 years old still trying to bump and wrestle to put smiles on everyone’s faces. Let’s fucking go.”

Tony Khan Comments on CM Punk’s Return Performance at AEW Collision’s Debut Show

A recent episode of the Busted Open Radio podcast featured AEW CEO Tony Khan as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Khan’s thoughts on CM Punk’s AEW return performance at this past Saturday’s AEW Collision show.

“I thought that it was a great show. CM Punk spoke his mind in the opening segment, and it set up for a very compelling main event. We saw CM Punk prove in the ring that he’s still got it. He went out there with FTR and they went nearly 30 minutes with Samoa Joe, Juice Robinson, and Jay White, three of the best. I believe the fans were so happy to see CM Punk back in wrestling, so happy to hear that he still has that sharp wit, and I believe the match itself delivered. It was a great main event. The fans are so happy to have CM Punk back in pro wrestling and in AEW.”
