We are live at the United Center for AEW Collision!

The lines to get into the Arena are Loooooong.  

There is a special "I was there" Second Coming of CM Punk shirt on sale.  The merchandise lines are massive.

There will be a Ring of Honor taping before Collison goes live.

My belief is the CM Punk promo will open the show.

Shad Khan is in attendance.

Chris Hero is backstage.  I have not heard in what capacity.

Jimmy Jacobs and Kevin Matthews, who just started here, are also backstage.

Silas Young is backstage and dressed to wrestle.

There have been rumors of a CM Punk vs. KENTA match for the Toronto PPV over the last few days but we are hearing that is not a done deal and may not even be the plan.  They do want Punk to wrestle on that show.

The makeup of the crowd is very much early 20s to 30s.  Some families but mostly older fans. 

There were CM Punk chants before the show and surprisingly, some boos.

They pushed the AEW Fight Forever video game and ROH Honor Club with videos on the screens.
