After several months of an unexpected hiatus, NRE Wrestleverse Podcast is back, providing you with wrestling news and longer-form opinions on the industry, showcases its ninth episode with staggering news of AEW’s ALL IN event in Wembley breaking the fabled 80k tickets distributed to the seminal event, surpassing WWE’s SummerSlam ’92 event and well on its way to toppling WrestleMania 32’s legitimate attendance as opposed to the inflated number that was given by the company and we’re not counting the controversial Collision In Korea event.

We also learn regarding the Endgame of The Tribal Chief being reduced to ‘Whenever Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman feel like it.’ which understandably worries people when wrestlers, be it full or part-time, are given this type of creative booking power. WWE and UFC’s big close date for the merger in Endeavor is set to close in September, with cuts expected to occur, though what the full nature of what will that be shall be revealed after the deal is completed. Returns are expected, some good and bad, along with details in the fallout of SummerSlam ’23 and some other news. All this and more on NRE Wrestleverse Podcast!

TRIOS MAIN EVENT!

CM Punk & AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood) vs. BULLET CLUB GOLD (Jay White & Juice Robinson) & ROH World TV Champion Samoa Joe

After nine months after his injury at ALL OUT 2022, former 2-Time AEW World Champion CM Punk returns to All Elite Wrestling in the same venue where he first chose to step back into a wrestling ring. The United Center in Chicago, IL, will once again host Punk's arrival in AEW, this time a bit of a second coming if you will, and as part of a brand-new show under the AEW banner, no less! Plus, Punk will reunite with AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR for the first time in over a year to step back into competition. They proved pretty an influential trio in that Fabulous Forum debut in June 2022, and now they will have an opportunity to see if that magic was more than just a one-night stand when they face the threesome of Juice Robinson, "Switchblade" Jay White, and the ROH World Television Champion Samoa Joe.

That third name there, the former ROH World Champion who happens to also be the longest reigning one in Ring of Honor history, his addition to this match adds a whole new historical wrinkle to the bout. See, in 2004, throughout three matches that the ROH faithful referred to as The Trilogy, Samoa Joe and CM Punk engaged in three absolute classics with that ROH World Championship at stake.

For the first time since 8/12/05, Samoa Joe and CM Punk will share the same ring. Factor in FTR teaming with Punk, the BULLET CLUB GOLD duo in the competition so close to FORBIDDEN DOOR 2023 when New Japan Pro Wrestling comes calling, and this premiere edition of COLLISION is loaded just on this match alone!

And then there is the great unknown of what CM Punk will have to say when a microphone is placed in his hand; he's already expressed that there's a great deal to get off his chest, and fans worldwide know that he has the potential to be explosive given his track record over the years! All that makes this a can't-miss offering from All Elite Wrestling on Saturday night on TNT!

SINGLES MATCH

Andrade El Idolo vs. AEW World Trios Champion Buddy Matthews

Another man who returns to All Elite Wrestling for the first time since ALL OUT 2022 is Andrade El Idolo, last seen in the Casino Ladder Match won that night by MJF ahead of his AEW World Championship victory over Jon Moxley at FULL GEAR 2022. This Saturday night, in his first singles match since the 6/24/22 edition of RAMPAGE, Andrade will be in action against one-third of the AEW World Trios Champions, The House of Black's Buddy Matthews!

Now where one HoB member treads, it is likely there's at least one closer behind, so unless Andrade has his support system coming along for the ride, El Idolo best have eyes in the back of his head to look out for other House associates. With so much time off, the question is whether or not Andrade has remained in the peak physical condition he was operating when we last saw him or if he's slacked off during this time away from the spotlight? Can Buddy shut down this singles challenge, or will Andrade make his return to AEW triumphant? Tune in Saturday night to find out how it unfolds!
