CM Punk in AEW: The Beginning (Documentary)

CM Punk's return to professional wrestling in 2021 set the wrestling world ablaze and launched AEW from an alternative wrestling promotion to a bonafide threat in the wrestling space.

Tempting CM Punk back to wrestling was on the cards since his departure from WWE in 2014 and AEW, and Tony Khan, finally got Punk to put pen to paper after 7 and-a-half years.

While everything started red-hot and continued that way for several months, things went wildly off the rails coming up to the Double or Nothing pay-per-view in 2022. In the months that followed there were injuries, interim champions, and wrecked long-term plans.

This documentary chronicles CM Punk's arrival in All Elite Wrestling in August 2021 and follows his journey up to his infamous press conference after winning the AEW World Title at the All Out pay-per-view in September 2022.

There was going to be a chapter beyond the media scrum, but I don't think that story is fully told yet, so I decided to hold tight until we get a conclusion and then there will be a follow up.

This, in total, is a project consisting of almost 200 gigabytes of footage and originally was climbing on a 2-plus hour documentary. For the sake of everybody's time; the decision was made to cut out some matches and moments, and just to focus on segments and matches that flowed best with the story.
