As much as I like mjf, it’s interesting that on his way out because his issues with khan, he inadvertently almost ruined wardlows big moment, and now he comes back and punk and omega/bucks inadvertently ruined his return hype because of their issues

[@ROMANTIKILLER2]

@@sgttoasterface5282 I still believe that the walk out of MJF was a very well executed work that should have resulted in him taking the title away from Punk, as the timing and everything he did was so in line with his character. Unlike what just happened with Punk and the Elite, who should be supposed to lead the company and instead behaved like moronic petty high schoolers.

[@sgttoasterface5282]

@@ROMANTIKILLER2 I think the walk out was a bit of truth but mostly work, just another way for mjf to show how much of a draw he was while also letting some tension cool between them and he gets a long vacation. From the beginning I figured they had already worked on a bonus to his current deal and just kept it private so they could work shoot the storyline that he wasn’t getting paid enough. I don’t think he should have won it from punk tho, I think he should have came back and kept punk from winning it in an anti hero type role since he’s already being half cheered and half booed. However if they’re trying to fully make him heel and get him nuclear heat, what they 100% should do is have Darby win the tournament and during his celebration, mjf comes out and beats him down before cashing in his chip to steal Darby’s big moment and lead to a long feud with Darby eventually beating mjf at all in

[@ZiHongTime]

@@SapphireSandwichBoys 1. He literally went off-script LIKE Hangman Page during his first day returning to action as Champion before his fight with Moxley. So he did indeed, take the business into the show. 2. While some may argue Hangman Page was in the wrong for going off script against CM Punk in the show (including myself), let’s be honest. You don’t do the same thing and bring more trouble to more people involved. That’s a dick move. 2 wrongs do not make a right. If CM Punk really wanted to stand up for himself, he should’ve done what he preached. Go up to Hangman Page backstage in person, and say it to his face. And hopefully settle their beef where cameras are not available. If that wasn’t an option, the last thing he should’ve done was bring the drama out into the open and bring bad rep to the company. (PS: Be honest. Who knew Hangman Page went off script before CM Punk brought it to attention. Exactly, no one. Not even the dirt sheets reported about it until CM Punk did the same. So, he could’ve kept it down low but no. He didn’t. Again, not saying Page is innocent, but, CM Punk was DEFINITELY not in the right here. 3. Let’s see… All was Kenny & the Bucks’ fault huh… Let’s look at what did the Bucks and Kenny do. Allegedly. I repeat. ALLEGEDLY, they spread false rumours about Punk to the dirt sheets saying he got Colt Cabana kicked out of AEW and shifted to ROH. Who did we hear this from. CM Punk himself. Any proof or verification from anyone? Nope. And when CM Punk said that if anyone had a problem, they should go right into his face and say it instead of being a snake. And…welp. They went to meet him. And what do you know… MF threw the first punch to the other party. (Verified by pretty much all the accounts now. Not even a split account at this point.) That even MEGHA (one of the managers, neutral party) told PUNK, not the Bucks, or Kenny, to stop. All this, while Megha was holding CM Punk’s dog, who almost got caught into the fight. But CM Punk had to get physically stopped rather than stop himself to end the fight. Listen, there’s never a black and white when it comes an argument between adults. I believe both sides gotta be wrong and right in their respective ways. But. In conclusion, CM Punk was FAR from not being wrong here. Hope this helps your future judgement. Remember, like all good historians, never take sides and see the situation for what it just is. Which in this case, was a fire started by Page but fueled to the max by CM Punk in the worst possible way of response.
