oh god. I go to a WWE event the day after Survivor Series, concerned about what drama may happen, and now I'll go to Collision the day before Dynasty yet again concerned about what drama may happen. Peoria, when did we become a drama magnet?

So Punk might have broken some agreement when he gave that interview.
Or they have proof that he was lying in the interview perhaps.

The only way I can see this working in story is if like, Punk actually got his ass kicked by Jack Perry, which would be...darkly fascinating to see the reaction to, and would at least make a basis for the Bucks reinstating Perry, but it just seems really strange to promote this with heel characters attached to it.

f***ing hell wasn't expecting to wake up and read that.
Not quite sure how I feel about it if it's going to be legit but you can't really say Punk hasn't pushed them into it.

Oh boy, this is going to lead to some completely sane discourse on the old internet. Absolutely normal takes are going to be taken.

I just hate this is basically just going to reinforce tribalism in this fanbase that I’m already sick to death of.
What did Punk actually do to set this course of action off? There was an interview, he said stuff, and… ?

Kind of a thing bugging me with it is... Like, the blatant ratings grab of it? Like, it feels like a response to the Dynamite rating tanking, because 1), they could've done this last week when people were talking about it, and 2), they could just post it on Youtube if they just want to clarify the truth.

Why on the TV show? That’s my biggest issue. If you feel the need to show footage that contradicts Punk’s statements why not release it through the media? How does this improve your television product?

There was an interview, he said stuff, and… ? i think it is exactly that, there must have been something in an agreement that nobody was supposed to talk about it. you could tell in the interview even with punk being known to do the whole "oops wasn't supposed to say that" bit he does on occasion throughout his career that he probably said some stuff that wasn't supposed to get out.

Yeah I would have thought this might be more of a YouTube thing but if the footage is absolutely damning and completely contradicts the guy who ran down your company then I guess why not use it to pop a rating and get people talking.

Jacy Perry's friend who is claiming that he easily reversed Punk's choke is also really good friends with Cora Jade. They just went to Rolling Loud a couple weeks ago. This make this even more f***ing funny.

Wait a second. Punk gives everyone a lecture on how Tony is not in the business to make money…not in the business to put butts in the seats…not in the business to sell more tickets…so people now clutching their pearls on the thought TK will show this footage on his show what a fraud Punk is and it will bring in ratings as a bonus?
Sorry guys. I’m calling BS.
WWE takes shots at AEW all week. WWE has all their media connections take shots at AEW all week and now AEW needs to shut up on Punk?
Again, BS.
Show the footage TK. Bury Punk’s ass.

I think it'll be a skit. Maybe Jack Perry is close to returning so reminding people of the controversy does help an upcoming angle. The wrestling press is either in on the joke or gullible, if the former unprofessional from them, if the latter unprofessional from AEW. Hunter has to spend five minutes of a busy day tomorrow taking young Phillip to one side and asking him "You reckon this stunt is real?" and reminding him not to mention it on commentary which neither man will enjoy.

There was an interview, he said stuff, and… ? Phil literally won't stop talking about AEW, and buried the company as a whole this past week. It's WrestleMania XL, "Jade finds herself in Elite Company!" "Elite Company, I sure hope not!" you've got this narrative that Poor Little CM Punk is right about everything and it's actual AEW's fault that everything happened. And not to mention, nothing is going to stop the tribalism at this point. That's just society at this point. Is it sad? Yeah. But TK could bring out starving families and hand them millions of dollars on TV and somehow he'd be in the wrong.

Also, if this is real then why tease it on what is certain to be the lowest-viewed Collision of the year? If it is a smoking gun that vindicates AEW and makes Punk look like a tool then you'd wait until after Mania to hype it surely?

Welp. It is about to get very loud, but it won't be an apology.
