With CM Punk's interest in helping a future developmental brand and the AWA being in the Midwest, I see it as a good idea assuming there is money to hire enough wrestlers. Since NXT was just running out of Full Sail University in Florida, AWA could do the same in Chicago, with occasional visits to Detroit and Minnesota obviously as well as other major cities in their old territory. They stretched as far as San Jose so I figure they can do NXT Takeover Brooklyn style events in San Jose as California is a big market. As for coconut loop style events, a California loop would be great as it's highly populated. Who knows, maybe they use California High-Speed-Rail to travel around the California loop (assuming it's built in time) Presence is obviously more established in the midwest but going through old stronghold San Jose and the rest of California builds interest.

AWA was one of the big 3 brands, and it's title lineage is seen alongside WWE's and WCW's in the last picture. Their TV title through active briefly, had matches on ESPN. That's a good deal to bring up to any tv station about WWE's version of AWA being a lot like the old AWA. The pictures of titles attached are the AWA World Championship, Women's World Championship (held by Medusa), Tag Team Championship, and TV title in that order.

I feel that this is a great way for CM Punk to run part of WWE's developmental from Chicago so this would make it really flexible for him, the California market is heavily tapped into and becomes a stronghold with a California loop, and AWA and NXT could have yearly face offs. Part's of past pro wrestling history and a great current WWE creation going at it. Ted Turner wasn't successful in buying AWA and with WCW still living on with the companies WHC, I feel the AWA should live on not only in a museum but on weekly TV. If NXT has grown since it's 2012-2015 days then this new AWA can fill in that role. Also reposting because I messed up posting the original pictures
