AEW Collision Results June 17, 2023: Highlights

The inaugural episode of AEW Collusion emanates from the prestigious United Center in Chicago, Illinois, setting the stage for an electrifying night of professional wrestling. Taking charge of the announce team are the seasoned voices of Nigel McGuinness and Keven Kelly, ready to provide insightful commentary throughout the evening's events.



As the speakers reverberate with the pulsating beats of Living Colour's "Cult of Personality," the atmosphere reaches a fever pitch as the iconic CM Punk makes his grand entrance, microphone in hand, accompanied by a mysterious bag. The raucous crowd erupts into an overwhelming chant in honor of the beloved wrestler.

Punk, known for his unfiltered candor, wastes no time in expressing his discontent. He candidly reveals that he had been absent due to a nagging tricep injury, but assures everyone that as long as he's present, the true essence of professional wrestling thrives. Reflecting on his journey, he acknowledges the surreal nature of his success, admitting that his 15-year-old self would have found it incredulous. With a challenge in his eyes, he demands the crowd to call out his falsehoods, firmly asserting, "Tell me when I'm telling lies."

In a heartfelt moment, Punk acknowledges his unwavering gratitude for the intelligent and passionate fans who have propelled him to great heights. Undeterred by critics, he emphasizes his refusal to compromise his authenticity, proudly declaring that he owes his achievements to remaining true to himself and the enduring support of his ardent followers.



Unflinchingly, Punk addresses the animosity directed towards him by those who despise him for the very reasons his fans adore him. Proclaiming himself as the personification of truth, he fearlessly points out various detractors, challenging them to throw every derogatory label his way. In his eyes, he stands as the genuine article amidst a sea of counterfeit individuals solely motivated by financial gains.

With an air of triumph, Punk exclaims, "The king is back, baby," conveying his unrelenting confidence in his abilities. Teasing an impending revelation, he cryptically alludes to a multitude of issues he intends to address. Engaging the fervent Chicago crowd, he questions why he should alter his persona, attributing his unyielding spirit to the influence of Joe Strummer. Defying those demanding an apology, he derides them as feeble-minded, asserting that the only individuals softer than them are the ones they hold in high regard.

Drawing attention to his previous appearance, Punk emphasizes his recent victory and the significance it holds. His triumph, he clarifies, was not merely about winning a dog collar match but symbolized his unyielding determination to succeed. Evidently, "Tell me when I am telling lies" emerges as Punk's newly minted catchphrase, encapsulating his defiance and commitment to unwavering truth.

Turning his focus to those who hoped he would retire and fade into obscurity, Punk dismisses their wishful thinking. Asserting that until someone can truly vanquish him, he will continue to grace the squared circle, unapologetically delivering punishment to his adversaries.
