CM Punk's time in All Elite Wrestling is surrounded by controversy. I chose not to talk deeply about it because I thought it was unnecessary. I think it's a shame how things went because there's alot he could've done in the company. What did you think of CM Punk's run?

Say whatever you want about Punk, you can’t tell me that he doesn’t care about his fans. The day before the PPV on rampage, before the show, Punk randomly came out from the back side of the stage where wrestlers that lose their match usually walk out back through and was taking pictures with fans and had a line forming that he didn’t really expect to get big that fast and still stuck around and made sure he took a picture with everyone in line before the show started. He did that for FREE and when I went up to him and told him how much he meant to me growing up, he was nothing but kind and listening and would look at you in the eye. He told me how much he appreciated me for still being a fan and shook my hand. All while he was on crunch time getting though the line of ppl of a random meet and greet. Not everyone is a perfect person, all I can is that meeting him briefly was enough to show me a side of him that told me how much he actually cares about the fans. This is the same person that bought a whole sold out arena ice cream bars…again, something he never had to do. I’ve heard him even bringing donuts for fans at his meet & greets for comic con & exc. I think it’s easy to hate on Punk, I however think he’s a pretty stand up solid person at heart.

@@khathide22nd Eddie Kingston, The Elite and Adam Hangman Page were all friends and didnt like him from the get go. When Kignston was released they blamed him for that and everything scalated, with Adam Page and Punk throwing real beef into TV. At the end of the day, it wasnt a good idea to confront punk while he was pissed off and he just hint that he was ready to throw hands to anyone at that moment.... its almost as if the young bucks just wanted this to happen. Am not defending Punk, but it takes two sides to make a controversy and it doesnt look good for them either.
If nothing else, his time showed in AEW that Punk will never be happy with his place. Even in a new company, even with one that was riding him as hard as AEW was and giving him the kind of experience he always claimed to want, he still found something to be pissed about and ended up as crabby and whiny as he was in WWE. And that's sad more than anything, so much optimism at the start...only for it to come crashing down.
He had pretty damn good reason to be pissed though. People kicking out on him at 3, going into business for themselves on live television and backstage politics being exposed on twitter by the management. He didn't interact with anyone in the companies much for 7 year, but when he got into the company everyone took shots at him like they had history. Outside of Kingston, Moxley and Sydell he really didn't have working history with a lot of people he was interacting with. So it's literally one-sided aggression. So no he wasn't crabby or whiny, he had legitimate reason to be upset since management wasn't handling any of the unprofessionalism well. And a lot of the management was actively causing the problems.
@@CornBreadtm1 Ah yes, it was management's fault Punk decided to blast Colt Cabana at the conclusion of a PPV match with Moxley. It was Punk's fault that he took one promo from Hangman and decided to bury the company on this perceived slight. It was management's fault that Punk decided to punch people when he dared them to confront him and his buddy Ace bit someone. Punk got everything you could possibly want in AEW, but that wasn't enough. It was never gonna be enough. And if you are so utterly thinned skin you are willing to tank a career over this, maybe you didn't deserve this kind of public platform.
It was the EVPs who blamed him for Colt Cobana being moved to RoH. So yeah it was management's fault. Cause they are management till Tony grows a pair and demotes them. And they ran into Punk's locker room, 6 people strong, so yeah he fought back. What is he suppose to do? Just get jumped? Stop hating on him for 0 reason when he wasn't the aggressor in anything that happened. He didn't do anything to Colt Cobana, Tony hadn't used the guy since Brodie Lee died. Of course he was on the cut list. Punk didn't go on twitter and blame himself for Colt Cobana being fired, the EVPS did, they also got Colt a job on a dead promotion. And Punk didn't go into the EVPs locker room with a mob and start a fight! You're blaming the guy for defending himself. Which is the weakest argument in the world. Is he really thin skinned for speaking up for himself? Instead of just being bashed endlessly for months.
@@CornBreadtm1 They were not there to hit Punk. The Young Bucks even had a lawyer with them and they only came there because Punch decided to publicly shit on them and Colt Cabana (Including revealing personal account info on his former friend) while daring them to say something to his face if they had a problem with it. They did, and Punk decided to throw punches and Ace bite people. Hell biggest thing Omega is guilty of is trying to save a cat caught in all this. The fact you think this behavior is okay because Punch got salty over a promo is the most pathetic kind of hill to die on. Punk's entire career has been shooting on people and going into business for himself, but when that is used on him suddenly it becomes too much?
Enjoyed the video, well scripted and informative without being bogged down by too much fluff. As VKM would've said (this time with the irony of truth emanating from his lips), "Phil screwed Phil." And as current hero to millions of amnesiacs in the IWC, Paul Levesque seemed to have foreshadowed the crash-and-burn with 4 simple words in late 2021: "He's their problem now."
His return was during my birthday week. Saw it live on tv hoping it wasn’t a riff, but the heat was too hot once it showed the Chicago crowd. He was on a streak until he was injured; and right when he achieved the aew title. Sux he overdid it in his interview.
@@Braylon1997 lots of younger guys like darby, hobbs & mjf among others said punk was a great help to them in the locker room and had nothing but good to say about him. are you sure the bucks/omega aren't just a modern era kliq backstage who throw their weight and don't want anyone outside of their specific indy wrestling circle to get over??
This really saddens me. When CM Punk returned to wrestling for the first time in 7 years, we were ALL excited. We also hoped this would be a new CM Punk in the sense that he’d be putting over new talent, be a coach to future wrestlers and be absolutely changed in attitude. But a year later, it’s like we were back in 2011-2014, where he was all this and all that, so much complaining and creating controversy from left and right, and it broke me. He was supposed to be different, yet it’s like nothing changed. I’ll always be a fan of his past work like from 2006-2010, and everything he done in AEW before All Out this year was all solid, but he truly lost my trust nowadays. Oh well. Great retrospective, bro.👍
Thats the point right there, the fk is he looking to do after a 7 year lay off. Just look at the very first time he got the mic, when he and Adam Cole debuted. Look at that interview , all he could do is badmouth wwe. Was this outcome really unexpected? No.
Tony Khan never came across as a boss who could handle big stars like CM Punk. He should have been booked with limited no of days like Brock or Roman. instead AEW tried to make him into a John Cena of 2010's which was a mistake. Limited days means he wouldn't have interfered with the young AEW talents as much. Another big mistake they did is to make him feel that they want him so badly.
It's actually sad they invested so much in a person just for him to turn around and shit on them publicly seeing people like Daniel Bryan and Dustin Rhodes be content with there positions and put on bangers really makes you respect them more
All it does is lessen my respect for such people who can be bought off with money to hide how bad it's management is, AEW deserves to go bankrupt at this point
lol makes me loves punk even more, I'm so tired of these nice employees who hides anything under the rug, this is why we had bootlickers like Cena and Kenny Omega at the top
I totally agree with you. CM Punk was given so much from AEW and didn't give much back in return. It's crazy how much the CM Punk stans will defend Punk no matter what he does. AEW doesn't need Punk; and I can't wait to see the company grow bigger without Punk than it ever was with him in it. Also, MJF will be a bigger draw than Punk; just give it time.
@@pleaseshutup7053 punk came into wwe in 05. The attitude era started in 97 and I doubt punk would run his mouth to Vader , austin, shamrock, farooq, or anyone from 97-03
I hate to say it as a CM Punk fan but this has gotta be one of, if not THE, biggest disappointments in wrestling history. It’s so strange to me how CM Punk got pissed off about Hangman Page going into “business for himself” when he was essentially saying exactly what Eddie Kingston and MJF were saying in their storylines. I’m not even a fan of The Elite at all, but with all the potential of CM Punk in AEW, he’s just gone out sad 🙁
Bit of an impotent gesture, honestly. The Isles have gone to two conference finals since Tavares left and the Leafs still can't get out of the first round. And that's to say nothing of Punk's beloved Blackhawks....
Punk needs to learn to handle things more diplomatically, although a lot of the fault is with The Elite (not the first time they are part of issues in AEW). Tony, Punk and The Elite should've had a sit down and dealt with this stuff behind closed doors. I can't really blame him for being mad if his accusations are true but he didn't handle it in the best way. It's a shame that this whole arc went from glorious to absolutely awful.
The number of times I had to hear about Chicago during his run made him and that city have go-away heat with me. Fantastic return and a great feud with MJF, though.
17:17 Watching the week to week programming live, people forget that the build to the match at Double or Nothing was heatless. Everyone and their mom knew that it was time for Page to drop the title and Punk to win it. That face to face promo was the last chance to add more heat to the match. Whether Page should’ve said what he said is moot, he dropped the title clean to Punk after *1* GTS.
I know Punk can be a jerk and all that but it's maddening that he's taking so much of the blame with what's happening when the other guys aren't known for their professionalism either. If TK and the EVPs handled it like true professionals, this more than likely wouldn't be happening.
A lot actually like him still and dont really care at all about what he said. A lot are threatening to stop watching if he leaves. The whole thing was pretty 50/50 with fans, but it honestly was both sides faults overall which luckily a lot are realizing.
People call Punk a narcissist, but hearing the backstage stories about him, I just think he is self righteous and way overly sensitive. It's obvious that wrestling is his life, and I would argue he loves it more than anyone else in the locker room. The problem is he sees the business his way, and every time he sees something he doesn't like, even what doesn't involve him, he takes it personally, and eventually he just starts exploding on everyone. In this case, it wasn't like he was upset with his own push. He was champion and focal point when he wasn't hurt. He was mad because his vision of what wrestling should be didn't align with the Elite, and he tried to help the young guys, and the Elite thought he was sabotaging their influence, which led to the All Out debacle. I side with Punk here, I think he was technically in the right. But he handled it so poorly that I sympathize with Tony trying to buy out his contract.
He absolutely oozes self righteousness, but he's a top talent and a big star. It's a shame what happened. I think a feud with Mjf where Punk turned heel and Mjf turned face would have been awesome.smh.
Man, it's so wild seeing this. This feels like a video that should've been made like 5 years in the future. Can't believe his AEW career lasted just barely over a year. Doesn't help that the way it ended was honestly so damn pathetic. Like come on man, dude's ego is bigger than the pop he got in Chicago.
Everything felt quick but enjoyable at the same time. And I have to say that even the scrum was entertaining despite all the drama. He still was a draw for AEW, at least, and gave something credible to the television
AEW needs to learn that not ever feud needs reality based shoot promos. The Kingston feud with Punk was the start of the eventual downfall. It set a horrible blue print for CM Punk feuds where every who feuded with Punk after that had shoot promos with him to build their matches to add to the story. But the MJF or Hangman feud did not need those hard hitting promos they could have built amazing storylines with kayfabe lore. All these shoot promos did nothing but lead to resentment between the wrestlers. Pro Wrestlers are larger than life all have them have egos which they should have upto a certain extent to perform in front of so many people. But once these shoot promos start the resentment between wrestlers leads to more hate between due to the slight digs at their egos. It all builds up and leads to something stupid like brawl out. I am not saying Punk is not at fault but i don't think when he returned to wrestling this what he wanted
@@jacobtrimble4329 I think Kingston MJF and Punk did not need those shoot promos. They are talented enough to build a story without making irl digs at each other. I know that it is kinda their thing but tbh they don't need to do that. Their feuds would work great even without the shoot stuff. Both MJF and Kingston had kayfabe history with Punk which could be used in a tasteful way to build a story without insulting each other with irl jabs each and every chance they get
Love him or hate him you can't ignore him. He's always be my favorite wrestler of all time no matter what. His feud with MJF was best ever I see in last 5 years
So nobody in the comments acknowledges Hangman and the Bucks starting this mess in the first place ? Punk could've handled much, MUCH better at the All Out media scrum, but let's not act like what he said was uncalled for. Hangman went out to do business for himself with his freestyle, non pre-discussed promo about defending AEW from Punk and everything before that especially, and that pissed CM Punk off.
Punk was definitely out of line in his press conference which got him fired from Aew but after what Adam page said about punk became true how he can act backstage when the cameras aren’t on him
Tbh i really miss him in aew. He's someone ever since I was little I looked up to. I cried when he returned. I feel he'll be back once the drama is all blown over. I can't wait for that day!
Maan what a past couple of months for Punk... At least we had moments like the promo battle with MJF, some classic matches and well... I still like CM Punk as a wrestler and I do understand him being frustrated with Hangman and all that but as a huge fan of him I'm curious to see what he's going to do next. #BITW
His year run was the best in the history of the company, best feud in the history of the company with MJF. I hope but don’t see how AEW can come back stronger than ever.
ngl looking back and even watching this all over again feels a little depressing lol i wonder will ever look back at this run and think "shit...i fkd up" could have been a banger conclusion w mjf and more dream matches in between. i hope he acknowledges his mistakes i dunno if he ever holds himself accountable. but i guess we'll have to wait for the full story if it ever makes the time of day...if will ever in the end matter. it is what it is.
@@cerebralassassin117 Very true, although what have they said in public on camera about Punk? He should have kept his childish gob shut and maybe he'd have kept respect. Hangman did open his mouth, but made it look like a work. Punk did the same back. It's his attitude at the press conference, talking to reporters like shit. He deserves the general perception that he now has. Not that he'll give a damn when he looks at his bank account.
Eddie Kingston telling CM Punk in that promo that "nobody wants him in the locker room and that he should just leave" is Predictive Programming for all this drama since Brawl Out.
Much as I like CM Punk, there's no denying that he's a miserable wrestler, he was never the same since he lost the WWE title to The Rock at the 2013 Royal Rumble.
And all along we thought Punk teaming up with FTR and Mox was just a dream team, it's simply Punk telling people in the back he has his own brotherhood in AEW.
CM Punk is toxic AF. He creates an toxic environment in every promotion he goes to. First it was #WWE, and now it's #AEW. Not gonna lie, i loved his 2011-2012 #WWEChampionship run.
Who cares he creates a toxic environment? I would take a toxic environment over an environment with full of no selling midgets like Young bucks being the EVP of a company
Honestly I don’t think he should’ve went for the title when Hangman had it I think Punk could’ve feuded with House of Black, The Elite, and other groups before going for the title when someone else was champ
Why are u sad? Punk deserved what he got watch his whole press conference lmaooo he acted like a asshole in front of tony khan and that’s why tony stripped punk of the belt nd why punk got fired yall don’t understand that his segment with Adam page got to punks head
"You talk a big game about worker's rights yeah, well you've shown the exact opposite when you showed up in AEW" And with those sentences, AEW was never the same again....
@@hydrocy.9165 so a guy doing over 650 wishes for the past decade taking hours of his day helping children is using. Man what have you or punk done for charity? How many Wrestlemanias punk Main evented, in a tshrit? I can say Kevin owens Main evented a mania with Steve Austin.
@@pleaseshutup7053 I guess ur clueless about his segment with Adam page and what happened in punks press conference 😭 punk showed his true colors in that press conference he didn’t give a fuck y’all being “fans” of him nd didn’t give a shit about the reporters nd being infront of tony khan who let punk have the opportunity to be back in the business
I still feel that it is all a work. I feel this way for a couple of reasons. Why after winning the belt go into a presser deliver the intro promo he did, answered the questions the way he did, took the heat he did back into the locker room where the EVPs of the company broke the door down to confront Punk? Is there any footage of the locker room confrontation? Sure you could say that the lack of video is evidence that it was a shoot. This is what went down, Punk went into business for himself, talked shit about The Elite, and is not only persona non grata in the locker room but in AEW period. This could be true...there is reports of Punk not getting over with the boys and upper management through out his career, but here is my counter. It was a "backstage skirmish" that left property damage and someone getting punched, why an investigation? It's a new era in regards to what happens in the locker room stays in the locker room. Stories about locker room fights are out there and none of them included an investigation. If this was Tony Khans idea of getting resolution to a what seems to be a three on one scuffle then he just made his promotion look weak as fuck if they can't police themselves. CM Punk was injured and his foot or whatever needed time. They found time. Suspend him during the investigation. What really seems the most obvious proof this is a work is The Elite were suspended as well. How do Executive Vice Presidents get suspended in their own organization? The spotlight since the beginning was that Kenny Omega, The Youngbucks, and Cody Rhodes were the cornerstones of the company backed by Tony Khans money and the fact he is a mark...I mean fan. So sure I can see the confrontation happening and it all play out but suspending all involved including all your EVPs(except for Cody of course...he's back in WWE)? It all just doesn't make sense. I could be wrong but this is what happens after being a fan of pro wrestling for as long as I have...DTA
His return was great and he had a great run but it's just fucked up how we waited for seven years straight for him to have a year run but at least some dream matches of his against Mox, MJF, Kingston, and Darby had happened.. even tho I doubt it but hopefully he'll return to WWE
I really hope they find a Way to make it work. I want that MJF VS PUNK part 2. That fued was gold also I thought it was weird he never got to Fued with Jericho one more time. Definitely want him to have a program against the Elite
My take: So Punk was hired by Tony Khan to do one thing: become the villain so everyone bands together against him to stay a unit. Notice how people were threatening to quit and walk out before Punk? Now look, people have stepped up, Mox healed really well and put on some great stuff for AEW , Colt is relevant again, Jericho, Danielson, Mox, MJF and a few others have stepped up to help and not go into business for themselves. Punk didn’t get fired, left on injury, got the belt, got his contract bought out. This wouldn’t fly in WWE. I feel TK and Punk worked everyone. It’s only my take.
They have a storyline that could truly be the catalyst for AEW to actually start to compete with WWE, but instead they are going to leave all of that money the table because of their fragile egos. smfh..
It's strange to me that he had the biggest return and wrestling history he left for being the top draw to be coming the most nuclear wrestler within one year he brought embarrassment to aew and to Tony Khan and to the fans and to the talent and to the entire locker room if he could tease doing this he's going to be blacklisted from all of professional wrestling this was his second chance and he blown it not even WWE don't want him back
Sure what he did was controversial, but he is the only reason I even heard anything about AEW. I am a total casual these days, and he is the only wrestler that got me to even know AEW exists. Going back to watching other stuff, wrestling is horrendous now. Everyone looks so small in wrestling now, its weird.
I haven't followed wrestling closely in years. That being said, you guys don't find it suspect that he cut that promo at the press conference at EXACTLY the same time he tore his tricep? LOL. He'll be back. His first year was very successful. They can still makes tons of cash with him, and he's well known in the mainstream. I think this drama is a work to give his tricep time to heal up.
CM Punk's time in All Elite Wrestling is surrounded by controversy. I chose not to talk deeply about it because I thought it was unnecessary. I think it's a shame how things went because there's alot he could've done in the company. What did you think of CM Punk's run?

Acting like he had nothing to be pissed off about. Not everyone is a submissive lay down like you.
@@CornBreadtm1 Ah yes, it was management's fault Punk decided to blast Colt Cabana at the conclusion of a PPV match with Moxley. It was Punk's fault that he took one promo from Hangman and decided to bury the company on this perceived slight. It was management's fault that Punk decided to punch people when he dared them to confront him and his buddy Ace bit someone.
Punk got everything you could possibly want in AEW, but that wasn't enough. It was never gonna be enough. And if you are so utterly thinned skin you are willing to tank a career over this, maybe you didn't deserve this kind of public platform.
It was the EVPs who blamed him for Colt Cobana being moved to RoH. So yeah it was management's fault. Cause they are management till Tony grows a pair and demotes them.
And they ran into Punk's locker room, 6 people strong, so yeah he fought back. What is he suppose to do? Just get jumped?
Stop hating on him for 0 reason when he wasn't the aggressor in anything that happened. He didn't do anything to Colt Cobana, Tony hadn't used the guy since Brodie Lee died. Of course he was on the cut list. Punk didn't go on twitter and blame himself for Colt Cobana being fired, the EVPS did, they also got Colt a job on a dead promotion. And Punk didn't go into the EVPs locker room with a mob and start a fight!
You're blaming the guy for defending himself. Which is the weakest argument in the world. Is he really thin skinned for speaking up for himself? Instead of just being bashed endlessly for months.
@@CornBreadtm1 They were not there to hit Punk. The Young Bucks even had a lawyer with them and they only came there because Punch decided to publicly shit on them and Colt Cabana (Including revealing personal account info on his former friend) while daring them to say something to his face if they had a problem with it. They did, and Punk decided to throw punches and Ace bite people. Hell biggest thing Omega is guilty of is trying to save a cat caught in all this.
The fact you think this behavior is okay because Punch got salty over a promo is the most pathetic kind of hill to die on. Punk's entire career has been shooting on people and going into business for himself, but when that is used on him suddenly it becomes too much?
Enjoyed the video, well scripted and informative without being bogged down by too much fluff.
As VKM would've said (this time with the irony of truth emanating from his lips), "Phil screwed Phil."
And as current hero to millions of amnesiacs in the IWC, Paul Levesque seemed to have foreshadowed the crash-and-burn with 4 simple words in late 2021: "He's their problem now."
His return was during my birthday week. Saw it live on tv hoping it wasn’t a riff, but the heat was too hot once it showed the Chicago crowd. He was on a streak until he was injured; and right when he achieved the aew title.
Sux he overdid it in his interview.
Edge on RAW later to Miz: You’ve got guys saying your name on other shows just to get a cheap pop.

I appreciate that!
Wrestling bios is pretty awesome too! Both on a level par for me lol
As much as I like CM Punk as a wrestler, as a person overall he’s been burning a lot of bridges
That is unfortunately, his personality trademark. He even said it in his documentary: " I would blow the bridges while I am still on them."
i don't see what's wrong with sticking up for yourself fr
@@r.i.pnicemusic I think you’re missing the point. Punk is a cancer in the AEW locker room like he was with the WWE years ago
@@Braylon1997 lots of younger guys like darby, hobbs & mjf among others said punk was a great help to them in the locker room and had nothing but good to say about him. are you sure the bucks/omega aren't just a modern era kliq backstage who throw their weight and don't want anyone outside of their specific indy wrestling circle to get over??
How? Literally how? There’s nothing he did that wasn’t started by the other indie dorks
This really saddens me. When CM Punk returned to wrestling for the first time in 7 years, we were ALL excited. We also hoped this would be a new CM Punk in the sense that he’d be putting over new talent, be a coach to future wrestlers and be absolutely changed in attitude. But a year later, it’s like we were back in 2011-2014, where he was all this and all that, so much complaining and creating controversy from left and right, and it broke me. He was supposed to be different, yet it’s like nothing changed. I’ll always be a fan of his past work like from 2006-2010, and everything he done in AEW before All Out this year was all solid, but he truly lost my trust nowadays. Oh well. Great retrospective, bro.👍
Kenny Omega ruined everything, he should be banned from wrestling as a whole.
Thats the point right there, the fk is he looking to do after a 7 year lay off. Just look at the very first time he got the mic, when he and Adam Cole debuted. Look at that interview , all he could do is badmouth wwe.
Was this outcome really unexpected? No.
@@kyleward7417 cm pink ruin himself
No WE were not all excited, only marks were excited to see Punk back. stupid marks.
DONT COMPARE ME TO URSELF!! I am not ALL I am ME & I DESPISE PUNK
Tony Khan never came across as a boss who could handle big stars like CM Punk. He should have been booked with limited no of days like Brock or Roman. instead AEW tried to make him into a John Cena of 2010's which was a mistake. Limited days means he wouldn't have interfered with the young AEW talents as much. Another big mistake they did is to make him feel that they want him so badly.
It's actually sad they invested so much in a person just for him to turn around and shit on them publicly seeing people like Daniel Bryan and Dustin Rhodes be content with there positions and put on bangers really makes you respect them more
All it does is lessen my respect for such people who can be bought off with money to hide how bad it's management is, AEW deserves to go bankrupt at this point
lol makes me loves punk even more, I'm so tired of these nice employees who hides anything under the rug, this is why we had bootlickers like Cena and Kenny Omega at the top
I totally agree with you. CM Punk was given so much from AEW and didn't give much back in return. It's crazy how much the CM Punk stans will defend Punk no matter what he does. AEW doesn't need Punk; and I can't wait to see the company grow bigger without Punk than it ever was with him in it. Also, MJF will be a bigger draw than Punk; just give it time.

I hate to say it as a CM Punk fan but this has gotta be one of, if not THE, biggest disappointments in wrestling history. It’s so strange to me how CM Punk got pissed off about Hangman Page going into “business for himself” when he was essentially saying exactly what Eddie Kingston and MJF were saying in their storylines. I’m not even a fan of The Elite at all, but with all the potential of CM Punk in AEW, he’s just gone out sad 🙁
He could have done what Kurt Angle did for TNA. But alas.
Eddie Kingston vs CM Punk was great
It's a shame we would never see the CM Punk turning heel and MJF turning into a good guy like he's doing right now
CM Punk wearing the John Tavares jersey in Long Island was something else 😂
It’s CRAZY 😂😂😂😂
I was at that show. Being a Ranger fan myself I thought it was hilarious
Bit of an impotent gesture, honestly. The Isles have gone to two conference finals since Tavares left and the Leafs still can't get out of the first round. And that's to say nothing of Punk's beloved Blackhawks....
Punk needs to learn to handle things more diplomatically, although a lot of the fault is with The Elite (not the first time they are part of issues in AEW).
Tony, Punk and The Elite should've had a sit down and dealt with this stuff behind closed doors.
I can't really blame him for being mad if his accusations are true but he didn't handle it in the best way.
It's a shame that this whole arc went from glorious to absolutely awful.
Hearing that spurs comment as a spurs fan hurts because it’s been a hard time being a fan since then 😞
The number of times I had to hear about Chicago during his run made him and that city have go-away heat with me. Fantastic return and a great feud with MJF, though.
Sometimes it’s better to keep a dream... a dream.
I remember marking the F out when CM Punk came out on Rampage
THE most shocking return of 2021
A moment I thought I'd NEVER see
17:17
Watching the week to week programming live, people forget that the build to the match at Double or Nothing was heatless. Everyone and their mom knew that it was time for Page to drop the title and Punk to win it. That face to face promo was the last chance to add more heat to the match. Whether Page should’ve said what he said is moot, he dropped the title clean to Punk after *1* GTS.
I know Punk can be a jerk and all that but it's maddening that he's taking so much of the blame with what's happening when the other guys aren't known for their professionalism either. If TK and the EVPs handled it like true professionals, this more than likely wouldn't be happening.
True
A lot actually like him still and dont really care at all about what he said. A lot are threatening to stop watching if he leaves. The whole thing was pretty 50/50 with fans, but it honestly was both sides faults overall which luckily a lot are realizing.
People call Punk a narcissist, but hearing the backstage stories about him, I just think he is self righteous and way overly sensitive. It's obvious that wrestling is his life, and I would argue he loves it more than anyone else in the locker room. The problem is he sees the business his way, and every time he sees something he doesn't like, even what doesn't involve him, he takes it personally, and eventually he just starts exploding on everyone.
In this case, it wasn't like he was upset with his own push. He was champion and focal point when he wasn't hurt. He was mad because his vision of what wrestling should be didn't align with the Elite, and he tried to help the young guys, and the Elite thought he was sabotaging their influence, which led to the All Out debacle.
I side with Punk here, I think he was technically in the right. But he handled it so poorly that I sympathize with Tony trying to buy out his contract.
He absolutely oozes self righteousness, but he's a top talent and a big star. It's a shame what happened. I think a feud with Mjf where Punk turned heel and Mjf turned face would have been awesome.smh.
CM Punk's situation signifies the modern society's toxicity.
If you're brutally honest about something, they'll hate you eventually
Even though we didn’t get another Summer of Punk, we still got the Autumn, Winter and Spring of Punk in AEW.
I would rather get a summer, or rather an entire year, of MJF over a summer of Punk.
@@dannyknightblade4592 mjf is cooked without punk what has he done since returning?
@@pleaseshutup7053 More than Punk has done as AEW world champion.
And now we have the Fall of CM Punk
@@pleaseshutup7053 True
Man, it's so wild seeing this. This feels like a video that should've been made like 5 years in the future. Can't believe his AEW career lasted just barely over a year. Doesn't help that the way it ended was honestly so damn pathetic. Like come on man, dude's ego is bigger than the pop he got in Chicago.
Did he get fired?? Hes not coming back ?
Everything felt quick but enjoyable at the same time. And I have to say that even the scrum was entertaining despite all the drama. He still was a draw for AEW, at least, and gave something credible to the television
AEW needs to learn that not ever feud needs reality based shoot promos. The Kingston feud with Punk was the start of the eventual downfall. It set a horrible blue print for CM Punk feuds where every who feuded with Punk after that had shoot promos with him to build their matches to add to the story.
But the MJF or Hangman feud did not need those hard hitting promos they could have built amazing storylines with kayfabe lore.
All these shoot promos did nothing but lead to resentment between the wrestlers. Pro Wrestlers are larger than life all have them have egos which they should have upto a certain extent to perform in front of so many people. But once these shoot promos start the resentment between wrestlers leads to more hate between due to the slight digs at their egos. It all builds up and leads to something stupid like brawl out. I am not saying Punk is not at fault but i don't think when he returned to wrestling this what he wanted
But the MJF feud did built kayfabe lore while and those hard hitting promos and segments is what made the mjf and Eddie feud so amazing to see.
@@jacobtrimble4329 I think Kingston MJF and Punk did not need those shoot promos. They are talented enough to build a story without making irl digs at each other. I know that it is kinda their thing but tbh they don't need to do that. Their feuds would work great even without the shoot stuff. Both MJF and Kingston had kayfabe history with Punk which could be used in a tasteful way to build a story without insulting each other with irl jabs each and every chance they get
Disagree those hard hitting promos especially with mjf is what made them so great
The mjf ones weren't shoots. Mjf and punk respect each other a lot, which is why punk let mjf beat him in chicago
Love him or hate him you can't ignore him. He's always be my favorite wrestler of all time no matter what. His feud with MJF was best ever I see in last 5 years
The mjf vs punk feud was feud of the year! So good.
All the drama in AEW and Warner Brothers decide to make a backstage documentary,
This should be veeeeeeeerryyyy interesting 🤔
So nobody in the comments acknowledges Hangman and the Bucks starting this mess in the first place ? Punk could've handled much, MUCH better at the All Out media scrum, but let's not act like what he said was uncalled for. Hangman went out to do business for himself with his freestyle, non pre-discussed promo about defending AEW from Punk and everything before that especially, and that pissed CM Punk off.
Punk was definitely out of line in his press conference which got him fired from Aew but after what Adam page said about punk became true how he can act backstage when the cameras aren’t on him
But a lot of other talent were praising him for how helpful he was backstage and how good of a leader he was being.
Tbh i really miss him in aew. He's someone ever since I was little I looked up to. I cried when he returned. I feel he'll be back once the drama is all blown over. I can't wait for that day!
How do we tell him
I think he's done. He doesnt even wrestle every week but stays injured and he runs his damn mouth to much
I don’t and I don’t miss the elite either. The show got better without them.
@@spookymiraclepreacher6037 Better with 752k viewers and 4 championship matches? A different night doesn't mean all their fans just don't watch.
Adam page got to punks head cuz his segment with hangman explains it all and how punk actually is when the cameras aren’t on him
When it came to CM Punk, I just hated when he took shots at WWE
Which is funny considering he said that aew should lessen the shots aew takes
Maan what a past couple of months for Punk...
At least we had moments like the promo battle with MJF, some classic matches and well... I still like CM Punk as a wrestler and I do understand him being frustrated with Hangman and all that but as a huge fan of him I'm curious to see what he's going to do next.
#BITW
His year run was the best in the history of the company, best feud in the history of the company with MJF. I hope but don’t see how AEW can come back stronger than ever.
If they book shit better and focus storytelling and on aew opposed to the wwe they would be ok
It was damn crazy
ngl looking back and even watching this all over again feels a little depressing lol i wonder will ever look back at this run and think "shit...i fkd up" could have been a banger conclusion w mjf and more dream matches in between. i hope he acknowledges his mistakes i dunno if he ever holds himself accountable. but i guess we'll have to wait for the full story if it ever makes the time of day...if will ever in the end matter. it is what it is.
He seemed to be over it at that point and saw his way out. The money means more than the "legacy" which he doesn't care about.
Nah he won't, his ego would never allow that
The elite and hangman are just as to blame. Overall this should've been handled better by both sides.
@@cerebralassassin117 Very true, although what have they said in public on camera about Punk? He should have kept his childish gob shut and maybe he'd have kept respect.
Hangman did open his mouth, but made it look like a work. Punk did the same back.
It's his attitude at the press conference, talking to reporters like shit. He deserves the general perception that he now has. Not that he'll give a damn when he looks at his bank account.
From
*WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK!*
To
*DON'T COME BACK! DON'T COME BACK! DON'T COME BACK!*
This shit was like 5 minutes ago and there are already retrospectives being made 😂😂 I love it
Eddie Kingston telling CM Punk in that promo that "nobody wants him in the locker room and that he should just leave" is Predictive Programming for all this drama since Brawl Out.

I think him getting his automatic rematch was a mistake and shouldve waited because he was already injured.
And all along we thought Punk teaming up with FTR and Mox was just a dream team, it's simply Punk telling people in the back he has his own brotherhood in AEW.

He creates an toxic environment in every promotion he goes to. First it was #WWE, and now it's #AEW. Not gonna lie, i loved his 2011-2012 #WWEChampionship run.

I still feel that it is all a work. I feel this way for a couple of reasons. Why after winning the belt go into a presser deliver the intro promo he did, answered the questions the way he did, took the heat he did back into the locker room where the EVPs of the company broke the door down to confront Punk? Is there any footage of the locker room confrontation? Sure you could say that the lack of video is evidence that it was a shoot. This is what went down, Punk went into business for himself, talked shit about The Elite, and is not only persona non grata in the locker room but in AEW period. This could be true...there is reports of Punk not getting over with the boys and upper management through out his career, but here is my counter. It was a "backstage skirmish" that left property damage and someone getting punched, why an investigation? It's a new era in regards to what happens in the locker room stays in the locker room. Stories about locker room fights are out there and none of them included an investigation. If this was Tony Khans idea of getting resolution to a what seems to be a three on one scuffle then he just made his promotion look weak as fuck if they can't police themselves. CM Punk was injured and his foot or whatever needed time. They found time. Suspend him during the investigation. What really seems the most obvious proof this is a work is The Elite were suspended as well. How do Executive Vice Presidents get suspended in their own organization? The spotlight since the beginning was that Kenny Omega, The Youngbucks, and Cody Rhodes were the cornerstones of the company backed by Tony Khans money and the fact he is a mark...I mean fan. So sure I can see the confrontation happening and it all play out but suspending all involved including all your EVPs(except for Cody of course...he's back in WWE)? It all just doesn't make sense. I could be wrong but this is what happens after being a fan of pro wrestling for as long as I have...DTA
Lol aged like milk
I needed this Video💯💯💯
His return was great and he had a great run but it's just fucked up how we waited for seven years straight for him to have a year run but at least some dream matches of his against Mox, MJF, Kingston, and Darby had happened.. even tho I doubt it but hopefully he'll return to WWE
I really hope they find a Way to make it work. I want that MJF VS PUNK part 2. That fued was gold also I thought it was weird he never got to Fued with Jericho one more time. Definitely want him to have a program against the Elite
Not gonna happen hangman got to punks head
I tried to pepsi plunge the subscribe button but I missed
My take: So Punk was hired by Tony Khan to do one thing: become the villain so everyone bands together against him to stay a unit. Notice how people were threatening to quit and walk out before Punk? Now look, people have stepped up, Mox healed really well and put on some great stuff for AEW , Colt is relevant again, Jericho, Danielson, Mox, MJF and a few others have stepped up to help and not go into business for themselves. Punk didn’t get fired, left on injury, got the belt, got his contract bought out. This wouldn’t fly in WWE. I feel TK and Punk worked everyone. It’s only my take.
“I’m glad they feel that way now but are they going to feel that way about you in 6 months, a year from now. “- MJF
Aew would be dumb as hell to let him go and leave all of that money on the table especially with the rumour that triple h would bring him back 😂😂😂

It's strange to me that he had the biggest return and wrestling history he left for being the top draw to be coming the most nuclear wrestler within one year he brought embarrassment to aew and to Tony Khan and to the fans and to the talent and to the entire locker room if he could tease doing this he's going to be blacklisted from all of professional wrestling this was his second chance and he blown it not even WWE don't want him back
AEW brought embarrassment to themselves.
w vid
Those people he didn't interact with were the guys he was gonna have matches with AS CHAMPION.
He’s even bigger after leaving can’t wait for the heel turn
Sure what he did was controversial, but he is the only reason I even heard anything about AEW. I am a total casual these days, and he is the only wrestler that got me to even know AEW exists. Going back to watching other stuff, wrestling is horrendous now. Everyone looks so small in wrestling now, its weird.
can u give us a edge come back
Wwe had it right bringing him back instead if punk. His return has been overlooked
Bad bosses can ruin a good employee
That run was an alltimer
I haven't followed wrestling closely in years. That being said, you guys don't find it suspect that he cut that promo at the press conference at EXACTLY the same time he tore his tricep? LOL. He'll be back. His first year was very successful. They can still makes tons of cash with him, and he's well known in the mainstream. I think this drama is a work to give his tricep time to heal up.
Him and MJF on the Mic 🎤 gold definitely was tuned into the fued only reason I would want C.M Punk to comeback is to go against MJF
People saying That CM Punk can go back to WWE yeah he can but the question is.... Is it worth it after What Punk said?
