During the recent episode of AEW Dynamite, the storyline between commentator Tony Schiavone and QT Marshall took an interesting turn. Instead of apologizing to Schiavone, QT Marshall brought Schiavone's son into the ring and assaulted him in front of his helpless father.

This moment was unexpected, but the real shocker came when Paul Wight arrived to help Schiavone and his son. The former WWE star delivered a massive Choke Slam to Aaron Solo, sending a bold message to Marshall in the process.

AEW has already stretched out the storyline between Schiavone and The Factory. As a result, It would be in everyone's best interest to have Tony Khan book a match between Wight and the Factory for Rampage.

Given Wight's size and ability to dismantle his opponents, having a handicap match would bring more eyeballs to this bout.

On top of that, there couldn't be a more fitting place like the jam-packed United Center to have Wight's debut match in AEW.


#1 CM Punk stuns the wrestling world in Chicago by confronting Darby Allin

Imagine all these men in the same ring!

The Rampage show in Chicago has been built around the hype of CM Punk's potential return to professional wrestling.

On top of that, Darby Allin has already laid down a challenge, stating that he won't back down from a fight, even if someone claims to be "The Best in the World." Multiple teases have been dropped from the NFL and even CM Punk hinting at his wrestling return to AEW.

During the main event, Darby Allin and Sting should come out to emphasize their recent claims.

This moment would seemingly confirm CM Punk's imminent arrival. But AEW can build it up even more by having MJF or someone else interrupt Allin.

A swerve like this would generate a wild reaction when CM Punk finally comes to the stage.

A buzzworthy confrontation between CM Punk and Allin would blow the roof of the United Center. The company could end its show then and there with a wild cliffhanger.
