CM Punk won the AEW World Championship for a second time by defeating Jon Moxley in the main event of Sunday’s AEW All Out pay-per-view.
Punk appeared at the post-All Out media scrum and had some harsh words for Colt Cabana and some of AEW’s top stars. Punk also blasted AEW’s Executive Vice Presidents (Young Bucks and Kenny Omega), accusing them of “spreading lies and bullsh*t” and claiming they “couldn’t f*cking manage a Target.”
Punk also took some shots at Hangman Adam Page, who he called “an empty-headed f*cking dumb f*ck.”
Backstage Melee
Punk’s remarks about Colt Cabana, Hangman Page and AEW’s Executive Vice Presidents led to chaos backstage at the Now Center.
After Punk finished speaking, a “melee” broke out between Punk and the Young Bucks. Bryan Alvarez, who was in attendance for the scrum, stated on Wrestling Observer Radio that there was an “altercation” that saw security rushing to restore order.
AEW President Tony Khan was completely unaware of what was happening, because he was participating in the scrum and did not have his phone on him (and nobody pulled him aside to inform him).
Fightful reports that Punk has significant heat with the locker room after his comments. Omega and the Bucks said to be furious about his comments. It’s reported that at least one of them threatened to walk out of the company due to what was said.
The Elite had been scheduled to speak at the media scrum, but decided against speaking after Punk’s comments.
