Their biggest star made his debut in their home arena and they put it first on the marquee for their weekly TV show that week.
And this triggered a deep "LOL FUCK TONY KHAN" reaction from you.
You see the issue here?

CM Punk is their biggest star? Based on what, T-Shirt sales, direct to DVD low budget horror movies, or losing to a dude named Johnny Bananas on MTV's The Challenge?
Why didn't Cody Rhodes get a "First time at Daily's Place hype" the first time he was there? What about Moxley or Omega? Daniel Bryan has main evented 2 Wrestlemania's, where was his Daily's Place debut graphic and tweets? Hell they had Shaq have a freaking match at Daily's Place, why didn't Daily's Place get top billing then?
Tony Khan loves CM Punk, has gone on record as saying Punk was the first guy he wanted to sign because he is such a fan. And really that is what it is all about, he is not their biggest star, he is just Tony Khan's favorite toy.
As for Punk himself, CM Punk said for YEARS he would never go back to wrestling, "NEVER EVER EVER!", but then he failed at everything else he tried, and it changed to "I meant I'll never go back to WWE". Except he tried to get his agent to reach out to WWE, and they said no thanks, not interested. Then he got Fox to hire him for a show about WWE, and tried to get WWE to hire him again, and again WWE said no. Then Fox offered to pay Punk's salary for him to be on Smackdown, costing Vince nothing, and Vince STILL said no.
Then all of a sudden, "hey I love AEW", even though for over 2 years he ripped them. Talking about how they are unprofessional by texting him offers, how they would have to pay him WAY MORE because he could make more going back to WWE. Meanwhile all he does is STILL talk about WWE in promos and interviews and on Twitter, because who is he if he is not "Fed Bad" guy?
Dude hates WWE, they held him back and stifled his creativity. Now in AEW he has the creative freedom to be himself, except instead he came back as the exact same WWE character he was when he quit. Same white T-Shirt, same music, same moves, same catchphrases, etc. I
Yes most of this is a about Punk and not Daily's Place, but to tie it all together, it is not JUST Daily's Place that was irrelevant, Punk's first time in any arena is not a big deal either.
