What a monumental weekend in the annals of pro wrestling history! Starting with the magical return of CM Punk after 7 long years to the end-of-an-era NXT TakeOver 36, #KickToTheGut is here for all of it. Mister Young and FRGN share their immediate thoughts towards CM Punk's debut in All Elite Wrestling and the heartfelt promo he cut on Rampage in Chicago.

NXT also has a new champion in Samoa Joe who beat Karrion Kross in the main event. With NXT transitioning into a new regime, is this the last time we see the black and gold brand in its current iteration?
