Oh no AEW got a million PPV buys on the show Punk was on it must need protection from him. This wannabe cowboy and all the other whiny little nerds in his cliché are nobody’s they don’t even have the star power NWO had to take over a company. How are you gonna go off script without punk even knowing how is he now supposed to trust you in a match when you could dump him on his head intentionally when your supposed to actually protect the person you work with. And idk actually make money? Not do shit just for yourself?

They were firing warning shots (Page, Kingston) for everyone to see about Punk. All the backstage drama came out in promos and everyone missed the signs (everyone remembers MJF's promo) but this was the beginning of the All Out CM Punk temper tantrum debacle. This a walking/talking Darkside of the Ring happening in front of our eyes.

[@matthewhorn1203]

I like how when punk was in wwe he roasted the shit out of john cena, HHH, and Vince McMahon but when the same was done to him he cried like a baby and tried to fight people in the locker room. MJF, Kingston, Moxley, and Hangman all spoke the truth about this prick.

[@AdrianBeegoatz]

As far as I’m concerned, THIS is where Hangman Page turned Heel. It just took the company 3 years , their biggest star leaving, and opening their eyes to another young wrestler with more upside in Swerve Strickland, for them to finally realize it.

[@davidkosiba624]

@@Liam_Graer How would this be a work? Punk was scheduled to beat Moxley in his hometown, I honestly can't see Punk losing in Chicago this caliber matches , instead he lost the title a week before , it just make no sense , It is more likely that he caused major heat in the leadership and they punished him, MJF 'leaving' was clearly work since it was already reported that he signed his new contract, but this is definetly not a work imo, hearing about all that backstage drama around Punk makes this theory even more believeable

[@Liam_Graer]

@@davidkosiba624 punk came back early from injury just to put MOX over so he could erase the Interim champ tagline One week he's back next they build to match next week they have the match on TV as quick as possible so punk doesn't mess his injury up further . Sure seems like a clever work to sort out the booking sheet after the champion got injured winning the title. Your op said Tk said enuf of your shit and booked MOX to squash punk. Like I said they worked you good If you think punk and his attitude was so bad why would he go out and job to MOX so quickly why didn't he kick out of MOXs second finish if his attitude is so bad! I think punk is an asshole and rubs alot of people the wrong way but I don't think aew changed its booking sheet for any backstage issues other than Kingston and Guevara . I might be wrong but i think punk came back from injury to do exactly what he did Build up the match with mox quickly and put over MOX quickly. Again I'm no expert I could still be wrong. Could be punk pissed everyone off so tk booked it this way But I doubt it boss Seems like a work to me

One Of Many Reasons That Led CM Punk To Return To WWE I Would Like To Say Thank You Again Hangnail

[@Billy-bc8pk]

Funny, Punk said he couldn't hear Hagnman and that's why he didn't know how to respond due to the crowd, but the crowd was EXTRA quiet here so you could clearly hear every single word Hangman was saying. Punk literally lied in that interview with Ariel -- the truth of the matter is that Hangman's brutally honest promo left Punk speechless for the first time in his life, and instead of coming up with something inventive to say, he had nothing to retort in kind to help bank on what Hangman said so he threw a tantrum, and then AFTER their feud buried Hangman whenever he wasn't in the building.

Hangman fucking cooked him in this promo.

[@Lunacyk]

Dude cooked himself. Childish, passive-aggressive, myopic bullshit. He and his buddies spread gossip and bullshit, instead of confronting Punk face to face(until the promo), like an adult. Page as a conduit, goes into business for himself and fucked EVERYTHING up! Cody was right to split. He basically got gently pushed out, saw the writing on the wall and said, "Fuck it. I'll land elsewhere and make it." And he has. Meanwhile, AEW is in a worse spot. All because Tony and the California Kids wanna do PWG on paid television. They don't know how to effectively work or do angles. I'll be surprised if Warner keeps them after 2024.

[@jackhughes7637]

This was such a dumb promo. It didn't make a point, was a rambling of a guy that whose only motivation was to hit Punk where it hurts, his broken friendship. It didn't help the storyline, it didn't sound good and was so cryptic that it didn't make any sense. Punk was pissed that this guy went off script to make no sense and to try and imply something false.
