CM Punk and Ace Steel reportedly will be heavily involved with the creative effort on the new AEW Collision show beginning in the middle of June.

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Punk and Steel will work in creative for the show and will play a significant role in deciding what Punk does on the new program. The report indicates that the key elements and stories on the show will revolve around Punk. Bryan Danielson reportedly will have a creative role for Collision as well.

AEW Collision will premiere on June 17 from the United Center in Chicago on TNT. Tony Khan announced during this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite that CM Punk would officially be returning to the company on that show.

Punk and Ace should be good news. Danielson... I'm not so sure. Based on what we've seen of him supposedly involved with in AEW and the bit of time that he was supposedly helping book the IC Title on Smackdown (that couple of months after Zayn vacated it and they did the tournament that AJ won), I'm not really impressed with him. He seems very Tony Khan-esque in terms of just worrying about good matches.
