CM Punk is heavily rumored to be making his first AEW appearance on Rampage: The First Dance at the United Center in Chicago.

AEW could execute the debut in any number of ways. However, Dutch Mantel, known as Zeb Colter in WWE, believes the best way to introduce CM Punk to AEW would be to mention his name throughout and have him pop up right at the end.

"I was just thinking what if they announce all the way through the show, we're waiting for the arrival of CM Punk and he's not there and they kind of stop talking about it," said Mantell. "The right at the very end here he [CM Punk] comes. I think that will bring the roof in if they do it. But the people in the crowd, I don't know they would have to be listening to the show. People would still pop. That'd be a big one."

Over the last week, there have been multiple teases and mentions of CM Punk, with the Voice of the Voiceless joining in to contribute to the speculation himself.
