MORE ON AEW FAREWELL, KHAN TALKS RETURN OF CM PUNK & MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2023-06-07 20:38:00

In regard to Sandra Gray's retirement tonight from AEW, we are told that while she is no longer going on the road, she will be working on talent gear from home, so she's not making a complete break from professional wrestling costuming work.

AEW President Tony Khan discussed the return of CM Punk with Sports Ilustrated's Justin Barrasso, noting, "We haven’t seen CM Punk in a long time, since All Out last September.  He looked great in his last match. To the fans, he’s very important. He’s very important to the company, too. He’s been a big draw for us and historically throughout his career, and the launch of the new show happens to line up with the schedule on his rehab of his triceps injury.  We have an amazing opportunity with AEW on Saturday nights on TNT, starting June 17, and it was truly the brainchild of David Zaslav. He asked about more AEW, specifically Saturday nights, on TNT. When it was pitched to us by TNT, I was so excited. It’s so exciting the timing [his return] coincides with the launch of Collision.”

The Blackpool Combat Club vs. The Young Bucks & Hangman Page has been announced for next week's Dynamite in Washington, DC.

House of Glory issued the following:

Charles Mason defends against El Hijo Del Vikingo Friday June 16th

House of Glory returns to the NYC Arena on Friday June 16th.

The Crown Jewel Champion Charles Mason will defend against AAA Mega Champion El Hijo Del Vikingo in the Mexican superstar's NYC debut. 

Charles Mason has defeated Jake Something, Joey Janela, Low-Ki, Bryan Keith, Ken Broadway, and many more during his sadistic title run. He wants to add Vikingo to the list of his victims. 

One of the hottest stars in professional wrestling, El Hijo Del Vikingo comes to House Of Glory looking to capture some gold. Can he show the NYC faithful why he is one of the most popular wrestlers in the world and capture the title?

Find out June 16th!

The show will stream live on Premier!
