Today’s the day! Either Punk debuts or TK destroys AEW’s credibility with fans. Exciting stuff.

A distinct lack of shorter and less muscular men at the Vegas tryout going on currently. #bigbeefybois

Putting this out now, because I'll be traveling to the show tomorrow. I'll post non-spoilery spoilers for Dark stuff and live updates.

No hyperbole, this is the biggest show AEW has ran yet. The First Dance show happen in front of the largest AEW crowd to date. The card looks solid (more on that in a minute) but the real draw is the (not-so-subtle) return of CM Punk. This is a homecoming and not just because it's in Punk's hometown Chicago. I would argue that AEW wouldn't exist without Punk. The groundwork he laid to rally disenfranchised fans in 2011 is irrefutable. People were taught that WWE was the "be all end all" of wrestling and that nothing outside of it mattered. CM Punk then pointed that mainstream crowd to Ring of Honor, New Japan, and PWG. Those were the places that Omega, the Bucks, (eventually) Cody, and others were hitting their stride. Punk feels like a founding member of AEW without ever working with them. There are only a handful of wrestlers AEW could bring in to really shake up the wrestling landscape and Punk is one of the big ones. This is going to be an all time moment. We know it. Punk knows it. AEW knows it. TNT knows it. Darby knows it. GET PUMPED!
That said, let's look at the card.
Despite losing the title match on Dynamite, Jurassic Express starts their climb back into contention. Private Party will look to show that they're ready for the top spot and haven't just been waiting idly in Matt Hardy's shadow. These two teams have a bright future in AEW but only one can move on the the Finals of the eliminator tournament.
Jade Cargill has been running through AEW like one of those characters in that one video game. You know, the cartoony one where the monsters destroy cities and stuff....Anyway, Jade's been really dominant. She's slowly but surely working her way up the rankings. Can Kiera Hogan pull off the upset over the unbeaten Cargill? Or will Jade continue to build steam?
For those who were unaware of Daniel Garcia three weeks ago, he's exploded onto the scene and has impressed. In the biggest match of his career, he'll be taking on Jon Moxley. Has ol' Danny bitten off more than he can chew? Almost definitely. It'll be exciting to see how Garcia hangs in the ring with Moxley. Speaking of whom, after his promo on Dynamite it seems like Mox is more than ready to continue being AEW's ace. A motivated Jon Moxley should scare the rest of the locker room. Including people coming into the promotion...

I think after last night, we're definitely getting Jurassic Express winning the titles in Chicago. The only reason they lost was because of the interference. So now they can tell the story of the cage being the difference maker, which is what you should be doing with gimmick matches. Plus, Jungle Boy is way too over not to have won a title in AEW to this point. He and Lucha are pure babyface and they've been chasing the Elite guys for awhile now. Doesn't have to be a super long run, but one that definitely needs to be done. Lucha Bros are going to be tied up in the Andrade story imo. Maybe PAC accidentally costs them the 4-way, and then they turn on him and join Andrade at All Out. At which point they make perfect challengers for Jungle Express, potentially taking the titles from them and proving Andrade was right. I'm totally down for a rematch between the Bucks and Jurassic Express!
