In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
There is a huge difference in Cornette's opinion, too.
I'm just gonna download it tomorrow and watch it.
Doesn’t it start at 3?
I’m really excited. Watching it in the morning though rather than staying up or getting up. It better not let me down 
Sounds like the Sasha Banks match is gonna be pulled from Summerslam.
They both have not done any shows this week and Sasha is missing from Smackdown tonight.
It's possible they may bring back Becky to fill the spot although she wasn't due back until September / Fall

Yeah, me too. Feels a bit like Christmas Eve. I’m sure we only get a couple of minutes of Punk at best, but can’t wait to see that crowd lose it.I’m really excited. Watching it in the morning though rather than staying up or getting up. It better not let me down
I was genuinely confused, not trying to be a dick
. Was worried about missing it.Although it’s doubtful I’ll be awake anyway tbh.
CM Punk to come out as the ring bell guy haha
Part of me wants to see Tony Khan Troll everybody and bring out like Eugene or something
CM Punk comes out with a mic, Daniel Bryan attacks him before he can talk. Then Tanahashi attacks Bryan
The though of cm Punk bringing back interest to this thread. Who knew eh?
Strowman’s non compete clause ends on the 31st.
Cody spoke very highly of Bray Wyatt in an interview the other week so wouldn’t be surprised to see him rock up in AEW
Wrestlings been pretty bland this year, other than a few segments here or there in all honesty. AEW has come leaps and bounds though, I give it that.
Almost don't want it to be punk just for the hilarious fallout.
Big night in AEW.
I haven't watched much wrestling lately but i'll be watching later.

Bray would be better than Strowman if they let him be creative and let it run.
I bet Colt is really p*ssed haha
Guys im sorry to ruin the hype for Rampage tonight. But I'm not debuting
If it was WWE you know there would at least be a troll on it, like MJF coming out first...
and saying hes the best in the world...
and saying hes the best in the world...
So... whos up?
Holy shit. Starting with it.
Damn he’s back
This is just an entrance, but this is awesome
Ice cream
Good promo. Crowd, obviously, hot. Glad i stayed up.
Now... rest of Rampage

Yea woke up for that and it started the show. Cheers for that Tony back to sleep now.
Was awesome. I think there's meant to be another big debut tonight but no doubt that's carnie bullshit to keep viewers watching the entire episode rather than clocking out.
Will happily be wrong tomorrow morning mind.

I think theres gonna be something else big on this show, probably main event. A third person to help Mox/Eddie?
I have a feeling it'll be someone from NJPW. Ospreay was on the most recent US show and is back from injury, maybe him or Jay White
Based on the comment “I was never going to get healthy staying in the place that got me sick in the first place” there was basically zero chance he was ever going back to wwe ever.
That would be great.
Also it was smart to start the show with punk given there won't be possible punk chants through the show now and fans can actually enjoy and get into the other stuff now
They fired him on his wedding day and were negligent with him
Good rampage and some nice wrestling too
But let's be honest, the opening part was the only one people will care about really

Is anything in American sports comparable to the Chicago crowd when Punk is in the show? They are amazing.
He’s back…!
And what a return. Absolutely perfect. Fair play to AEW. You could tell he’s missed it and he looks really happy
Im looking forward to him vs Darby Allin and will stick with AEW for a few weeks now, but I must say that the rest of rampage didn’t do a great deal for me. The tag match was good. Jungle Boy looks like a star. I get they’re just building up Jade Cargill to be a monster so that was a squash. I thought the main event was shit. It felt like they tried to cram too much into a 1 hour show.
Also, Moxley looks really out of shape compared to the last time I saw him (granted, it was a while ago)

He was trending number 1 most of yesterday & still number 1 this morning.
Makes Roman look stupid haha

Not really. Romans right he was never as good as The Rock or Cena. Doesn’t mean he’s not great.
I really hope we don’t get the usual WWE bad AEW awesome cringe promos from him. Punk needs to win the title from Omega after all out. He’s by far and away the biggest star they have now.
Backstage, there was a lot of excitement about Punk coming in. During his post-media scrum, Punk talked about names like Terry Funk, Eddie Guerrero and Harley Race that he looked up to and who helped him along the way. For a good portion of the AEW locker room, they grew up watching Punk and many see him in the same light. There were a lot of talents excited backstage when Punk said he wanted to work with the younger talents and help them develop and grow. Punk stated he was looking forward to working with Will Hobbs, Jungle Boy, Jon Moxley, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega and Ricky Starks.
Former WWE star Cliff "Domino" Compton and former WWE Executive, current Cirque du Soliel Exec and ECW Original Lou D'Angeli were backstage at the taping, having come in from Las Vegas to be there to support Punk and be with him for his big return.
During his return promo, Punk revealed a new t-shirt, which immediately crashed the AEWShop and Pro Wrestling Tees websites. The remainder of the Rampage taping saw what had to have been a mile-long line circle the entire length of the United Center as fans attempted to buy a special edition version of the shirt that read "I Was There." PWInsider.com heard from several readers who gave up on the rest of the taping trying to get the shirt.
For those asking the reaction within WWE to this, obviously they knew it was coming. We have heard from some who were dismissive of the debut (although they hadn't seen the electric scene of his return) and some who felt WWE had completely missed out by not having that moment for themselves to help repair the bridge with Punk.
When fans exited the United Center, all of the venue's digital signage featured CM Punk's graphics and logo. There were many, many, many ice cream vendors giving out free CM Punk branded ice cream bars, something that played off of Punk's attempts to get the WWE ice cream bars revived. Punk said he took the idea from Andy Kaufman, who once famously took an entire audience out for milk and cookies.
During the post-media scrum, Punk stated that he spoke with Sting, who told him that he wished they had been able to wrestle 30 years ago. Now, they will have a chance to face off when Punk wrestles Darby on All Out on 9/5.
The idea of Punk wrestling elsewhere is not a closed door but Punk is taking the approach that he is an "AEW Guy" and wants to concentrate on that. Punk joked that if AEW wanted him to wrestle the G1 Climax, for instance, they could talk about it.
Punk's deal will allow him to still pursue acting and commentary for MMA and other opportunities. We are told that it's being seen within TNT that Punk has joined "their team" and they are considering potential ideas for him beyond AEW. Obviously, he's a massive sports fan so would be a natural fit.
At no point was Punk's theme music going to be anything but Living Colour's Cult of Personality, which he has used in WWE, UFC and Ring of Honor.
AEW had a strict "no talent backstage if they didn't work for the company" policy at tonight's taping in order to prevent leaks from getting out. That said, Punk arrived several hours before the taping and was mingling with everyone in full sight, not trying to hide himself.
Punk will make his Dynamite debut this Wednesday.
