This media scrum was indeed one of the most explosive moments in professional wrestling history. CM Punk's raw and unfiltered comments not only shook the foundations of AEW but also highlighted the deep-seated issues within the company. His willingness to openly criticize his colleagues and the company's management was both shocking and refreshing. It showed a side of Punk that fans had always known existed but rarely saw in such a public forum. The aftermath of this media scrum has been nothing short of dramatic. The fact that CM Punk, a man who had sworn off WWE, found himself back in talks with them speaks volumes about the state of AEW. It’s a testament to how toxic the environment must have been for him to consider returning to a place he once despised. This moment will undoubtedly be remembered as a turning point, not just for Punk, but for the wrestling industry as a whole. Tony Khan's role in this saga is also worth noting. His efforts to mend the relationship between Punk and WWE, whether intentional or not, have had a significant impact. It’s a reminder that in the world of professional wrestling, alliances and rivalries are ever-changing, and sometimes, the most unexpected outcomes can occur. And yes, Punk's line, "I'm hurt, I'm old, I'm f'cking tired, and I work with f'cking children," is iconic. It encapsulates the frustration and exhaustion that many wrestlers feel but rarely voice. It's a line that will be quoted for years to come, a symbol of Punk's no-nonsense attitude and his commitment to speaking his truth, no matter the consequences.

[@hunterwilliams551]

It’s almost a year later but watching this back when punk mentioned mark henry as one of the great minds in their locker room alongside dean malenko and jerry Lynn its really cool to me. Like one of those guys is definitely not like the others, but he still appreciates Henry as a great mind and talent in the business. As he should 👏🏻

[@walsh9080]

Henry worked for WWE from 1995. And if we're being completely honest, but the later stages of his career, he was a significantly better promo than Malenko or Lynn ever were. Who ever had a problem with Mark Henry? More to the point, who was brave enough to step to Henry? There's a story (with video evidence too) that Vince and other management thought it would be funny to tell Henry he had a match but he didn't. So they sent him to the ring and just left him standing there like an idiot. Henry waited nearly 10 minutes before he realised Sin Cara was not coming out. A visibly pissed off Henry walks to the back. It's been reported Henry was so angry he damaged equipment and everybody avoided the incredibly angry worlds strongest man. Henry has said, the next day, Vince called him into his office and sincerely apologised. This is same guy, who stepped in the middle of a Lesnar Jericho confrontation, but he wanted nothing to do with a PO Mark Henry lol. Henry actually did say, receiving a personal apology from Vince, showed Vince actually did value him.

[@duffyy1]

Looking back at this now the only person to blame is Tony. He didn’t act like a boss and he didn’t handle this situation properly. Cause of that he lost the biggest start he will ever have. Punk was completely right.

Here's how a real booker should book this coming Wednesday: MJF starts with a promo. He will vent and get the crowd all excited. He will not leave the arena until Khan gives him a title shot at Punk. So the viewers get MJF at the beginning and they stick around because he will show himself backstage one hour later. First match: Miro takes on Malaki Black. Jayme Hayter confronts Brit Baker about costing her the title at the PPV. After the confrontation, have Excaliber say that Brit Baker will face Jaime Hayter next week for the #1 contender match. Second match: FTW vs Gunn Club for #1 contenders match for AEW tag titles. The Young Bucks and Omega walk backstage and see Danielson and Claudio. The Bucks tease Danielson and Claudio for losing at the PPV. Danielson issues a challenge to the Bucks and Omega. Then Moxley shows up claiming that he, too lost at the PPV, so why not put up those shiny belts up during the Main Event tonight against the three losers from the PPV. It's official, the Bucks and Omega vs Danielson, Claudio, and Moxley for the trios title in the main event. MJF is causing ruckus backstage trying to get a title shot with Punk in his home state of NY at the Arthur Ashe stadium. But instead runs into Wardlow, both have a stare-down and keep going their own way. Third match: Tay Melo vs. Ruby Soho in a falls count anywhere match. Sammy tries to interfere and then Eddie Kingston and Eddie are fighting all over the arena. Fourth match: Samoa Joe vs Giant pinhead Singh in a short match that has Miro come out and challenge Samoa Joe for a title match next week. Shiavaone interviews CM Punk. MJF comes out and surrounds the ring with his cronies. Punk accepts the match at Ashe Stadium. Darbi, Sting, and the Acclaimed come out to help Punk in what turns out in a slug fest. Punk goes after MJF, but MJF escapes without contact. Wardlow defends TV title vs. anyone (open challenge) and Powerhouse Hobbs comes out and takes the challenger. Back and forth match. Ricky Starks costs Hobbs the match setting up a rematch between Hobbs and Starks at Ashe Stadium. Jade Cargill is being interviewed backstage and Serena Deeb comes to congratulate her on being undefeated. Deebs makes a remark that her opponents so far have not been good opponents and Jade should give Deebs an opportunity. Cargill hesitates and says that if Deebs can defeat Hikaru Shida on Rampage, she can have that opportunity. Main Event: Bucks and Omega vs BCC for the Trios titles. Great match all the way when Adam Page comes over to interfere on the Bucks and Omega's behalf, Regal leaves commentary to confront Adam Page and Page gives Regal a Buckshot lariat on the arena floor. Moxley gets distracted and is rolled up by Omega for the pin. The Elite leave with Adam Page with the titles. A show like this will give us quality guys top to bottom.

The one thing I will say about this, is that Punk never talked about Colt until this moment. Not once. To continually have it thrown back in his face when he finally returned to wrestling, having found his love for it again, must have made him angry. It also must have hurt him. Colt was his friend for a very long time. Despite his feelings about him now, to lose a friend, especially in such a public and harsh way, must have hurt. People preying on that because they are petty and childish would piss me off too.
