 What's good job your boy Ross back again with another video. So we're gonna be checking out this self destruction of CM Punk by WrestleMania man Yeah, this year has been crazy for just wrestling as a whole this whole CM Punk situation. I I do feel like it possibly could have been avoided definitely could have been handled a lot better But ultimately it's it's what we have now and we're in a situation where I don't think a Want to have anything to do with him and I don't think WWE wants to even bring him back So it's gonna be interesting to see where things go in the future for CM Punk But I think his wrestling days may be done. I'm not sure we will see but let's see what WrestleMania is talking about appreciate all of us what you guys have shown The CM Punk is one of the most polarizing names in pro-wrestling history upon his controversial departure from WWE in 2014 punk seemingly distance himself from pro-wrestling all together Deciding to explore new avenues such as MMA and acting But the success of these ventures is probably a topic for another video WWE and subsequently shared his perceived truth on the Colt Cabana podcast fans and several WWE talents were firmly on his side Punk had a terrible experience in WWE and his mental and physical health were negatively impacted as a result of his time in the company When punk decided to join AEW in the summer of 2021 nobody saw it coming It was common belief that within the wrestling fandom that punk had officially retired Punk seemed to like the environment that was presented in AEW and had strong relationships with key figures in the company During punk's first month in the company. It was apparent just how happy he was He would reveal in every media interview He took part in just how the backstage atmosphere in AEW was allowing wrestlers to thrive and how it's really crazy how Things were out of all time high for CM Punk and Then it just went down he'll like quickly, you know after you know, of course the injuries and you know that kind of Slowing down his momentum. I mean, it's just really insane to know that CM Punk had came back Only for him to damn near be out the door a year later Sinsing how AEW had some of the best in-ring talent in the entire world He was welcomed into AEW with open arms And there were rumors that punk was helping out younger talent and he was a pleasure to be around Whilst this certainly seemed to be true during punk's early days in the company in 2022 This positive perception has completely disintegrated and punk is now resented by the AEW locker room How exactly did this happen and is it any way back for punk? When he arrived in AEW one of the things that fans were curious about was just how punk and cold Kamana were going to coexist in the same locker room Punk and Kamana were previously best friends That was until a fallout ensued and a vicious and malicious legal battle took place between the two men There was no news in relation to if there was any issues between the two internally in AEW But that was until it was reported that Kamana was quickly moved to their ring of honor roster This bizarre move was believed to be formulated by AEW President Tony Khan who wanted Kamana to be nowhere near punk In order to keep his resident top guy happy and content Kamana would be one of the names that punk would name drop in his infamous all-out press conference round And fans were quick to call out punk for his unfair comments against someone who is genuinely well liked in the locker room Punk would state I haven't had anything to do with Scott Colton in almost a decade Probably wanted nothing to do with him even longer than that It's effing unfortunate that I have to come up here and speak on this when I'm on my time This is my effing business Why am I a grown-ass adult man and I decided not be friends with somebody is nobody else's effing business My relationship with Scott Colton ended along before I paid all of his bills Fast believed that this was an inappropriate time to air dirty laundry. It simply made punk look Yeah, I can agree with some people saying Granny no one even really brought him up. He saw someone that he He knew was at one point cool with coca-cobana Scott Colton or whatnot so he kind of just leaned into it because the guy didn't even ask about it No one asked about any of this. He just said fucking. I'm just gonna let it rip So, I don't know man. This is this is where punk takes some Responsibility there cuz he kind of put it out there. He didn't have to address none of this cuz no one asked No one asked You know, so that's that's the situation in you know, you got Tony Khan. He didn't really Mediate he didn't stop this from happening either bitter and resentful In relation to cabana he refused to fire back at punk in a similar manner Which was a wise move as it presented Colt Cabana as the more mature individual of the two What are the first occasions during punk's a double run where fans turned on punk was when he began to have issues with Page page is one of the most popular and beloved wrestlers on the modern era This also extends to how punk is perceived backstage by his peers He had issues with page because page apparently went off on a tangent during a promo segment and through some remarks How punk that he was uncomfortable with Punk was so furious with page for doing this and seemingly going into business for himself that in August 2022 It was reported that punk was legitimately close to quitting the company Punk carried a lot of hatred towards page following this shortly after the incident punk when I'll script completely during a promo On a double dynamite watching that wall out page by declaring now. That's not cowboy shit. That's coward shit This threw everyone off guard as it wasn't remotely planned And it was evident that punk was trying to make page look completely inferior. Yeah, he fucking buried him I remember that promo saying he's supposed to be building up a match with John Moxley. He started going This is after he came back From injury. So it was weird of the timing of this shit, you know I'm saying like He came back from injury or whatever Don't know who's at the gate but he came back from injury and After that, that's when it was like He just decided to just put this out there. He just like, you know what I can fuck you Fuck you fuck your gimmick. You ain't you ain't nothing You know saying you ain't gonna come out there and challenge for this title Which he knew he wasn't gonna be out there because it wasn't part of the show Yeah, he definitely kind of buried Adam Page. So I don't know if that was probably the right move I don't know if anything probably nothing got resolved in the back. So I don't know man. It was just It I guess him punks gripe here like going in the business for yourself is definitely not what's up But you don't come back months later and then just say fuck it. Let me while I'm Supposed to be building up another feud. Let me go ahead and bury this guy That has nothing to do with the feud punk was quite rightly called out for this This was some WCW in the year 2000 levels of craziness that didn't belong in AEW It was unprofessional selfish and tonic con should have taken immediate action But he didn't which question cons integrity as a boss Punks issues with page only worse than from there as during the infamous press conference Punk will once again bring up page by stating what did I ever do in this world to deserve an empty-headed F in Don't have like a page to go out on national television and even go into business for himself for what what did I do? What did I ever do didn't do a goddamn thing? I'm trying to run an F in business And when somebody who hasn't done a damn thing in this business Jeopardizes the first million dollar gate this company had ever drawn off my back goes on national television and does that Disgrace to this industry. It's a disgrace to this company now. We're far beyond apologies Fans were utterly speechless at the comments It wasn't just paging Cabana who punk targeted as he also made comments directed to the elite There's people who call themselves EVPs that should have F and known better this shit was none of their business At the elite consisting of the young bucks and Kenny Omega justifiably went happy with punk's comments and the trio proceeded to Following the press conference It was when a physical commotion Yeah, and it was reported that punches were thrown in an AW trainer a steel would even reportedly bite Omega It was a total disaster. This whole ordeal was seriously damaging to the legitimacy and credibility of AW as a thriving wrestling promotion all chaos Cality this chaos was suspended a steel was eventually released and well punk was put on the injured list Tony Khan ruled that an independent third party needed to investigate what happened The investigation was finished in late October with the outcome of the investigation not being disclosed to the fans However, notable news source at PW Insider had heard that the investigation was a complete fuss Punk has made mortal enemies out of so many people in AW and most of it was via his own actions There's certainly an argument that can be made that the elite went about their response to punk in the wrong manner as being executives of a company Violence is never the answer It looks like this was in the first time that the elite had taken exception to something punk had said It goes without saying that the elite have a brilliant relationship with Adam Page So pump rating their friend every chance he could get was naturally cutting deep AW was in serious trouble following the incident especially from a PR perspective as from the outside the company looked like complete Bedlam Thankfully AW currently has some great people in the locker room people such as Chris Jericho John Moxley and Brian Danielson have stepped up since the press conference and have shown the younger talent that the type of behavior from the likes of Punk is not okay, and AW is gonna be a fun place to work again But for the most part these comments have come to fruition as reports indicate that morale is up since punk was placed on the AW's injured list as Things stand AW are reportedly attempting to buy out punk's contract. That's right Punk has gone from being the biggest star in AW to AW attempting to do everything they can to seize their relationship with him It looks like AW talent aren't exactly pushing for punk to ever return This can be seen just by taking a look at the inaugural AW world champion Chris Jericho's Twitter likes He liked to tweet in October 2022 that completely ripped into punk So it appears that Jericho isn't exactly the biggest fan of the former AW world champion But it wasn't just the elite Chris Jericho or other AWW talent that really didn't sit well with him Temporary talent Bobby Fish also had this to say in an interview with NBC 10 count Interestingly enough, there was a little whatever in the match we had and Phil was after the match Phil was a frankly as a martial artist I went out and laid my shoulders down for you You should be grateful that I did because on national television if I decided that I wanted to eff in Haku your ass I couldn't because you're that little of a threat in my world Now the Bobby Fish stuff It kind of comes off as cloud chasing whether he had issues with him or not it definitely came off as like cloud chasing like bro Okay, calm down Bobby Fish. It just it's seen that way He could have a viable point, but the Bobby Fish whole situation It just literally came out of nowhere. He kind of inserted himself in this drama and it was just like Okay, you know I'm saying like it just came off as cloud chasing Eddie Kingston who recently feudal did see I'm punk also didn't have some nice words to say about the second city Same in an interview with inside the ropes. He mentioned it. No, there's no like that. He doesn't like me I don't like him. I don't think that we're ever gonna like each other. I'm just being honest with you We're never gonna see I tie and I'm not very forgiving person So now I have no desire to be friends with him and he has no desire to be friends with me We just do not like each other. Yeah, that's it That's been a crazy few months for a double and punk It looks like punk's name is officially tarnished forever Punk has gone from one of the most desirable free agents in the world to being one of the most loads in the wrestling business And this all just happened within about a year This might not be the end for punk as it's also been debated and speculated as to whether he could go to WWE If they ever made him an offer the issue is that Triple H virtually runs a WWE now that Vince McMahon is retired And it's well documented just how much Triple H and punk loathe each other in a recent interview It did suggest that Triple H may let bygones be bygones and he could potentially put the prior bat blood behind him He was reported that an influential figure in WWE is completely against the idea of punk returning The name of this mystery figure remains undisclosed at least for now though Punk though isn't a difficult predicament Whilst his AEW run initially was thrilling compelling and entertaining It's quickly turned into a political fueled toxic mess that has resulted in him doing more damage than good Well, you have it folks the incredible and the the whole situation of him potentially going to uh WWE Triple Triple H is definitely down to bury the hatchet for business purposes because obviously he knows that's that's big money But there's other higher-ups that are like I don't know about this especially not right now and considering the whole situation with CM Punk's contract And maybe there being some type of cause where he can't compete for so many years or whatever the case may be Because if they were to let him go and then he just goes to WWE One it would kind of be it'll be one of those things where it'll be very People would look at punk a little different. It was like damn bro. You went over here kind of caused some chaos You didn't initially started but you kind of added more fuel to the fire than you had to to only leave Well, you know, they buy you out because it wasn't gonna work to go to WWE a place where you made it seem as if you would never go to again That's actually, you know, people will be like damn, that's That's crazy punk. So I don't know. I don't know if that will happen I know I we've had this conversation. Would you guys want them back? A lot of you guys said, yeah, he would be a big drawing and there's a lot of you guys there saying No, he needs to go ahead and hang it up, man. So I don't know where his future lies, but I will say this, man Uh 2022 once again has been a crazy year for wrestling And I never thought I would see CM Punk in this situation so quickly after returning back to wrestling It's it's really it's kind of sad to be honest with you, man I feel like he had a lot of great things that he could have contributed to AEW But uh, unfortunately, this is what happens with, you know Sometimes your emotions get the best of you and you end up not seeing clearly and seeing the bigger picture Sometimes it's better to let bygones be bygones for the better for the betterment of the whole situation So comment down below. Let me know. Are you guys still fans of CM Punk or are you guys, you know After this whole situation and saying, no, I'm good. I'm good with CM Punk I'm you know, I'm not a really big fan of him anymore Let me know if you guys still support him or if you don't support him at all because of everything that's happened But I appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on the channel wrote to 100k Appreciate y'all kicking with me.
