Bullshit. I still smell a work. You look at Punk's entire body of work since he arrived in AEW. He was having fun. Dude straight up said he "fell back in love" with pro wrestling. Fast forward to the "Media scrum". I have zero doubts Punk was setting up future matches between MJF, Hangman and maybe even Omega by talking shit. The Colt Cabana stuff was addressed because he was tired of being vilified for it, but everything else came off like typical Punk promo schtick. Then I believe Punk finally got the official word regarding his arm injury and being out 7-8 months. So what now? Couldn't do the "interim" shit again. Had to come up with something different. Hence the locker room "brawl" with the ELITE. Hear me out. It'll make sense. You see, I also believe Kenny came back too early as well and still needed more time to heal. They were able to finish their PPV matches but knew backstage they were going to need significantly more time off. So TK "strips" them of the belts and has matches that will drum up interest and ratings while giving his stars more time to heal. As far as the brawl goes, I already dug up several links that proves that there were ZERO police reports or interactions following the brawl (contrary to what was reported). The only headscratcher I have is why the Bucks were included. Probably to sell the work? Maybe they've been a little banged up too? I'm just not buying that a billionaire businessman would let an employee openly trash his company and not cut him off. It stinks I tells ya!!

It’s very interesting watching this after the mma hour interview. You can see punk slowly realize what is happening. I’ve always been 50/50 about punk, eventhough I’m from Chicago myself, but this has pushed me to be a complete fan. What a boss having to think on his feet like that. I can’t even imagine the pressure. It’s interesting cause I remember watching this live and felt like it didn’t feel right, that something was definitely off the rails with it only to find out that that’s exactly what was going on. Also, Al Snow’s comments about why this was such a disservice and a betrayal of trust in a business that demands it really set an interesting tone too with it all. It’s almost like punk is searching to see if he can truly trust he will do the job still. What a pulled back curtain moment honestly and a part of pro wrestling history. I had no idea that’s what I was watching live. Makes you think how many more moments there are like this that we never will know about

[@colesavona]

Such a great comment and I agree. I was just thinking what a pro Punk is here to actually cut a great promo from Page's dogshit shoot promo. Punk made that interesting for the fans. Page was heated and just wanted to get his point across which didn't make any goddamn sense 😂 Also, I'm pretty sure Page wasn't supposed to give punk a right hook. Dude was all over the place.

Punk will show his true colors and Hangman will look even more like the biggest grassroots babyface in the company.

Also the fact that recently, he has been using the "Am I the good guy?" part a bit, I have a feeling Punk is turning heel at DoN. They are all reference to his likely heel turn. Both MJF and Kingston said Punk is always acting like a good guy when in reality he's the opposite and now Hangman's also saying Punk has been doing "the opposite" and has no respect for him, Punk might snap and turn heel.

[@XXsirstrawhatXX]

I personally will always be in Punk's corner. I'm starting to thing Hangman is lashing out at phantoms at this point, because he's clearly seeing something that isn't even there.

[@TOP0PERCENT]

Hangman is like Captain America here. I'm not comparing them, but we can guess why Hangman is doing what he is doing. 1. He's afraid. CM Punk is like the only guy in AEW who can take over his place. Before CM Punk debuted, it was only Hangman in everyone's mouth. 2. Hangman is actually a bad guy, who's only realizing that now. Think about it, he didn't like his friends getting all the success, so he left the group. Then found some drifting lovable losers who helped him get to his success, and as soon as he became the world champ, he left them too. Hangman is a loner, and when he dislikes being lonely, he wants the world to come to him and caress him, and when he dislikes that, he leaves. He does what he likes, regardless whether he hurts anyone or not. But god forbid someone hurts him. 3. Hangman's identity is that belt. Think about it. His identity used to be his friends, it was The Elite. Without that he was nothing, but he wanted to be something. So he left the group, and failed, and his identity became a beer bottle. The Elite symbolized his incapability. The Beer 🍺 symbolized his failures. The AEW world title is the only thing that symbolized his success, that made him feel good about himself. He doesn't like the idea of losing that as well, making him bitter and cold. I can't wait to see Hangman lose the belt because he is so much fun without it. I can't wait to see him mad and angry, both at fans and everyone else. I can't wait to see Dark Order say the truth to his face, that Hangman's biggest enemy is Hangman himself and he can't do anything about it. He is just that. That's his character. And that's a fucking interesting character. I also can't wait to see Punk show the world his real self. I can't wait for Omega to come back and it's Omega vs Punk. I can't wait to see the crowd finally realizing that Hangman was right all along, as bad as he was, Punk was worse. Hangman has embraced his inner shadow, meanwhile Punk will put everyone under his and keep them in darkness. That's who Punk is. When his shadow isn't accepted, he projects his shadow onto others. These two men have so much in their tank.

@@TOP0PERCENT Interesting analysis, but I'm not sure how that would make him like Captain America (Unless there's some character arc in the comics that I'm not aware of where Steve is super jealous and insecure)

[@TOP0PERCENT]

@@Lunacorva I forgot to add that CM Punk is like the Tony Stark to Hangman's Cap. Not necessarily similiar characters, but their conflict seems so. Hangman believes Punk is a bad guy with bad examples, and Punk believes everything about Hangman came from his superior offering. I personally don't want to see these two resolving their conflict in a random tag team match against Team Taz a year from now. AEW has been very dry when it comes to building connections, all the wrestlers are either in factions, or in tag teams, or simply feud with each other for months and forget about it. Having Hangman and Punk do this long time 'two anti heroes contradicting each other' would be so much entertaining than having them feud for a month, then a death match or two and then moving on. Something big needs to happen in AEW, something that threatens the norm. Like a Nexus return or a nee faction destroying AEW, attacking everyone from the commentators to the referees. This should continue randomly with no clues or solutions, Punk would try to be the leader and call them out, but Hangman would preach everyone to keep an eye on him. Punk then could retaliate by saying "Not even your friends can trust you, why do think these people would?" That could lead to another layer in their rivalry.

CM Punk constantly saying "Bro. This is business, let's not get personal here. Let's stick to the plan. Let's stick to our jobs. Let's not go there. We don't need to. This is our job bro"

[@gratewight69]

Tony's face says it all.

[@AliAkbar-yx3hv]

Yeah. Tony Khan's said it all too.

[@heltongomez8865]

Yeah Schiovane looked confused xD

[@actuallynotsteve]

Just realized that Hangman actually decked him for real

[@ohgodwhy]

No he didn't. Slow down the video, barely makes contact. I don't think CM Punk would reacted like that if he hit him for real.

[@actuallynotsteve]

@@ohgodwhy eh agree to disagree, i think he'd act exactly like that

[@LND209]

@@actuallynotsteve Slow it down. It didnt hit him

[@Ermac_______________________69]

Nah lol that was a work, come on

[@actuallynotsteve]

@@Ermac_______________________69 Eh, the punch connected, maybe it was just extra good selling, but you can see it connect. I don't think Hangman did the Ric Flair thing of punching a string until he could touch it without it swinging after the fact.

[@GreyLeo]

You can seen Punk is doing his best to defuse the situation
