Punk Scrum Thread II: Punk terminated from AEW

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

PWInsider says Miro traveled to the show with Punk so something tells me it may just be Miro shitposting and that’s what SRS will say. Who knows.

[Kalmia]

I keep swinging between being annoyed that my favorite wrestling company is being dragged through the mud because of some petty playground nonsense and laughing because half of this stuff is genuinely really funny.

I never know whether my next post is going to be a shitpost making fun of it all or one where I'm genuinely angry.

So when does history repeat itself and the report of Punk being injured come out?

Earlier today on Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez shared what he has heard about what went down between Punk and Perry and noted that AEW President Tony Khan was in the Gorilla position area when things broke down. Haus of Wrestling has been able to independently confirm that, as well. The action apparently got close to enough to Khan that monitors were knocked down onto him.

Alvarez stated that Khan saw the whole thing play out, but Haus of Wrestling is told that Khan may not have seen the actual altercation take place, which is possibly why there is an internal investigation into what happened. It is worth mentioning that Alvarez describes what went down as happening very quickly, with Samoa Joe and others in the area swiftly breaking things up.

Alvarez went on to say that Punk said he wanted to quit the company, which is in line with our initial reporting that his future with AEW and pro wrestling is questionable. PWTorch has also reported that Punk threatened to quit immediately following the altercation and “chewed out” Khan with harsh comments. Haus of Wrestling has heard Punk said he felt like he was working at a zoo, but there are other interpretations of exactly what was exchanged.

The investigation can only get underway once they’ve secured the services of the mental gymnast capable of exonerating Punk.

I genuinely don't even know what happening anymore, i don't know what reports are real or what reports are fake, i'm losing count of how many people Punk has beef with in AEW at this point, this has all been one giant mess





Listen, i understand Punk is a big star for AEW, but this dude has sent people home and holds grudges to anyone who just breathes a way he doesn't like, and to the point he angrily confronted the owner of the company, it's not worth it

Only one thing we all know to be true...









We need Madcap Moss back on TV.

Madcap Moss has not been on TV during Collision's entire run so far, that's what will fix this

The monkey flinging shit at passersby from his enclosure is in record as saying, "I feel like I'm working in a zoo."

I like how each act of this story has had its own signature food item. Act 1 has the muffins, Act 2 has the Cheeky Nando’s

This whole thing has me running the gamut of emotions. I’ve decided to just totally give up on my boy Punk and wash my hands of him. He’s a big old bitch. He’s a talented bitch, but he’s a big old bitch.

Entirely unrelated but Colt Cabana being named in speaking out and everyone just forgetting it happened is so weird

Please, please, please have it turn out the glass was gimmicked all along, just to really put this farce over the top.

Thats the thing though it really basically was like that...lol it was tempered/laminated automobile safety glass...

I think it was during the trios match, we're in the stadium and my friend shows me the SRS tweet about an altercation. I said something along the lines of "The most entertaining stuff this company does is off camera", and after reading all this, I stick by it.

No one looks good here.

I feel the whole Punk sht affected the mental state of the Elite and FTR, the trios match seemed a bit underwhelming, and FTR seemed off(I first believed it was because of the whole Cash Wheeler controversy but now its clear it was due to Punk)

Maybe Miro was just giving him directions.

I'm still thinking back to a few months ago when Scrum Thread I got locked because we just thought this was over

And now it's present day, this is gonna break the Scrum Thread I's FAN all time page record, and it's not even close to being over lmfao

Sean Ross Sapp just did a livestream explaining what was relayed to him about the supposed altercation between Miro and CM Punk.

According to what was said to him, after Punk's match he was approached by Miro backstage, and Miro asked Punk how he was doing. Punk replied with something along the lines of "I'm okay, unless you want to fight me too" in a jokingly manner. Miro then replied with an "Okay", also supposedly in a jokingly manner. Punk then, continuing to just joke around, said "How about we take this outside?", to which Miro replied "How about we take this... to the ring!"

And that is what was explained to Sean. Seemed like nothing more than friendly banter and joking around, taken out of context.
