Of course, this is not your typical television taping. Wrestling fans are expecting the highly anticipated debut of CM Punk, based on some not-so-subtle hints by AEW. The United Center is the largest basketball/hockey arena in the United States, so
Tickets for AEW Rampage: The First Dance go on sale to the general public this coming Monday at Ticketmaster.com.
