So which one do you think was better? I'd say these two were easily the best, biggest, most shocking debuts in AEW history easily.
It's a tough one but I'm going with Punk for now, on another day I'd pick Edge lol.
I love both anyways so it's all good... those moments will always be epic.

Punk by a long margin. Only return that even comes close in recent memory is ironically Edge at Rumble 2020. Two moments we never thought weβd see happen.
And I was fortunate enough to be there for both. Crazy.

CM Punk. I prefer Edge out of the two, but I felt like I just saw Edge whereas CM Punk felt like it had been forever since I saw him in a wrestling ring.

There was a lot of momentum in AEW when Punk arrived. It felt more like the "start of something."

CM Punk debuting was the peak of AEW.

Punk of course for the simple fact that he hadn't been seen in a wrestling ring in several years. Edge had a match a couple of weeks prior to his debut.

Punk. I love Edge but Punk boosted the entire company. Things were just fine until they weren't. And we see where business is now compared to where it was.

Punk and by the widest margin you can think of.
Edge is great but he's not a needle mover like Punk is.
Punk coming back to the ring was one of, if not the, biggest stories coming out of 2021.

I would say Punk because he actually drew in more viewers. Nobody cares about Copeland being there.

Neither. I have no desire to see former names. This isn't 2007.

Punk had 2 million people tune into Friday night 9PM central television.
They are tarping off seats in every building Edge has been in so far.
It is not close.

I don't think its even close and Edge is probably in my top 5 all time. Personally I think Bryan's(and Cole's) arrival was a bigger deal then Copeland. Punks debut might not be topped in AEW for years and years to come,if ever.

Punk is probably in the top five of all time. He sold out a building based on the idea of him showing up.
