We are still questioning Meltz as a source? This is like last All Out when everyone said he didn’t know that Hangman wouldn’t be at the PPV. He was right, had it well before everyone, and everyone just forgets. People will pick and choose what they want to believe usually if it benefits what they want to believe

Well, shoot or not, Hangman is pretty much dead as a TV character if he doesn't respond next week and/or get involved in the title match somehow. He got verbally punked (no pun intended, I think?) and called a coward. If he's on TV next week acting like nothing happened it makes him look like a total goof.

Yeah, if Punk went into business for himself you have to have Hangman respond otherwise it continues to make him look like nothing since he lost the title

I'm questioning why are we going of one report. How about if another reliable source from can confirmed this. then let's have the conversation we're having. www.pwinsider.com/article/162202/cm-punk-shoots-on-aew-dynamite.html?p=1I don't know how reliable Voices of Wrestling are but they were way more extreme than Meltzer/Johnson, saying Punk got angry with a promo Page cut on him months ago and said he would never job to him, there is tension between AEW originals and some of the newer ex-WWE guys and Colt Cabana being banished to ROH to keep him away from Punk has pissed off a lot of the locker room.

I really hope its not true. VOW are way more extreme with their views and made me unsubscribe to them so I dunno how reliable they are.

Here's Fightful's report. Sure sounds like there's trouble in paradise. Always a chance the SHEETZ ARE GETTING WORKED, but I don't think SRS posts this without confidence:
CM Punk challenged Hangman Page to a rematch on the August 17 episode of AEW Dynamite, but according to Wrestling Observer, it wasn't planned. We were able to confirm this.
Punk defeated Hangman Page at AEW Double or Nothing earlier this year before being forced away from the ring for several months. Before that, however, there was word that Punk and Hangman Page didn't see eye to eye on some promo material that emerged on an episode of Dynamite that built their match. Fightful has been told that it was to the point that CM Punk met with AEW higher ups about the context of Hangman Page's promo. Voices of Wrestling had noted that they'd heard that Punk had told others after the meeting in May, that he wouldn't lose to Hangman Page.
Fightful was told by several within AEW that they felt the situation that unfolded on the August 17 episode of Dynamite was "unfair" to Hangman Page if he wasn't aware of it. One said "even if he was aware of it, what would he have done? Charged to the ring past Tony (Khan)? Interrupted a promo he knew he wasn't supposed to be a part of? There was no way Hangman could have 'won' in that situation." We're told Hangman Page was in the building, but haven't heard that he responded in any particular way. Those that we spoke to said that Hangman isn't a confrontational person and is generally well-liked among the roster.
The belief among several on the roster we spoke to was that Punk believed Hangman went into business for himself leading into their Double or Nothing match, and that Punk may have seen the August 17 promo as a "receipt." It's important to note that was locker room speculation as opposed to Punk telling anyone that directly. From Punk's end of things, the Hangman promo had alluded to Punk's issues with Colt Cabana, and happened during a week where Punk wasn't at the show, while Punk's shot at Hangman happened with Hangman present.
Sources familiar with the situation claim that CM Punk has often verbally expressed his displeasure, including recently so blatantly that they thought he might end up quitting the company. Those close to him said that he might have almost decided to stay home instead of coming to the August 17 Dynamite, but don't think he would have quit. We haven't been given any indication that he plans on leaving AEW, but one veteran said they have heard of "threats being levied."
Fightful was also told that the Moxley vs. Punk match for the August 24 episode of AEW Dynamite was a late decision. We haven't been told how late, and when we asked AEW higher ups for context, we didn't gain any. We haven't learned the crux of what led to Punk's current frustrations that would have led to him hypothetically not showing up at Dynamite, whether it be the change in the match, Hangman's jab back in may or otherwise.

That could explain why TK promoted Punk promo yesterday afternoon and why they are doing Punk vs Mox next week.

Wow, so it turns out CM Punk might be a dick. I, for one, can't believe it.

Either Punk is a complete primadonna, seriously AEW has bent over backwards for him this past year, or AEW is making all these reporters look like fools by feeding them fake stories to further their on-screen storylines and they're all dumb enough to put their journalistic integrity on the line by playing along because it gets clicks.

I think that this is still all a meta-work where Punk turns heel as the "too big for AEW" champ while Hangman and MJF have to team up to save the company

Never understood the concept of making your company look bad or at least inept when it comes to employee relations in order to work the fans.

It sucks to say this because I've always been a fan, but it's really looking like option A. I trust Sapp to not play the game, tbh. He's been accurate on 99% of things.
