The wrestling world is abuzz with excitement ever since AEW announced its biggest show yet at the iconic Wembley Stadium. With fans eagerly anticipating the event, wrestling pundits and experts have been offering their opinions on how Tony Khan, the CEO of AEW, can ensure a sold-out show. WWE Hall of Famer Booker T and his podcast co-host Brad Gilmore have also weighed in with their thoughts, proposing two names that they believe would make the event a resounding success: CM Punk and Goldberg.
Booker T opined that if he were in charge of booking the event, he would definitely consider CM Punk as a top draw. He mentioned that there is a lot of speculation about Punk potentially making a comeback, and the buzz around his return could be enough to sell out the stadium. Booker T’s co-host Gilmore chimed in with his own suggestion, pointing out that Goldberg, who is currently a free agent, could also be a huge draw for the event. He suggested that a match featuring Goldberg would be an attraction that would draw fans to the stadium.
However, Booker T did offer a word of caution, noting that while Goldberg may be a big name, AEW’s fanbase may not necessarily be receptive to his inclusion. Despite this, both Booker T and Gilmore are confident that AEW has the firepower to pull off a historic event at Wembley Stadium.
“If I’m thinking about Wembley, and I’m thinking about MJF, I’m definitely thinking about CM Punk,” Booker declared. “I mean, there’s a guy that everybody’s thinking about tentatively, potentially coming back and making that thing happen. There’s a lot of talk on the internet right now. I was reading FTR was saying that Punk’s the best in the business and he’s ready to come back. Punk’s got a spokesperson pushing for him to get back into it. That’s a good thing. So, I don’t know, man. Wembley, that’s a big stadium, so they’re going to need some firepower to take into that stadium to really pull that thing off.”
Eric Bischoff stated on ‘Strictly Business’ that if Tony Khan is smart, he’ll book CM Punk vs. Goldberg for Wembley.
Fans of CM Punk have been eagerly awaiting his return to the ring ever since he left WWE back in 2014. Although he has made sporadic appearances in the wrestling world, he has not competed in a full-time capacity since his departure from WWE. However, rumors have been circulating that he may be making a comeback to wrestling, with AEW being one of the most likely destinations.
With the proposed event still several months away, fans of AEW and wrestling in general will undoubtedly be eagerly awaiting news on which wrestlers will be appearing at the historic Wembley Stadium show. Regardless of who ends up making the final cut, it is clear that AEW is looking to put on an unforgettable spectacle for its fans, and the wrestling world will be watching with bated breath.
