The drama surrounding CM Punk’s AEW exit continues to unfold, with the release of backstage footage on Dynamite sparking reactions across the wrestling world.
Following Punk’s recent interview, where he denied accusations made by Tony Khan, AEW released video footage of the altercation between Punk and Young Bucks member Matt Jackson (Jack Perry).
While intended to contradict Punk’s claims, the video has generated mixed responses, with some fans feeling it supports his version of events.
WWE Hall of Famer Booker T seemingly joined the conversation on social media.
Around the time the footage aired on Dynamite, he posted a GIF of himself laughing on Twitter. This cryptic message has fueled speculation, leaving fans to wonder if he’s reacting to the video itself or the drama surrounding it.
Adding his voice to the mix is Eric Bischoff, another wrestling veteran known for his outspoken opinions. During his 83 Weeks podcast, Bischoff criticized AEW’s decision to release the footage. He believes it serves “no upside” and highlights a lack of leadership within the company.
Bischoff feels the incident reflects poorly on Tony Khan’s management style, questioning why such a situation would be allowed to escalate in the first place. He argues that releasing the video only prolongs the negativity and doesn’t offer any positive outcome.
Meanwhile, CM Punk remains focused on his in-ring career. Currently locked in a heated feud with Drew McIntyre, fans eagerly anticipate a potential clash between these two powerhouses.
How will AEW navigate the aftermath of this controversy? Will Punk’s feud with McIntyre overshadow the backstage drama, or will it continue to simmer beneath the surface?
One thing is certain: the lines between reality and kayfabe (scripted elements) are blurring once again. As CM Punk continues his in-ring rivalry and Bischoff raises critical points, the wrestling world awaits the next chapter in this ongoing saga.
