TK is at a critical juncture with the current Punk situation. A bitchroads, if you will. Actually disciplining Punk this time around will do a lot to rehabilitate his bitch status. But, if Punk just shows up on Saturday like nothing happened, then Tony Khan has officially confirmed that he is Bitchtimus Prime.

Well let me respectfully suggest something! Bitchamania is rolling over brother!

Other than cocaine, his favorite hobby is going to Dominatrix clubs and be whipped.

I don't like this joke because there are plenty of people who enjoy being dominated by women and aren't terrible bosses

Thanks for standing up for me

I think i might be time to change the title of this thread

C.M. Punk’s relationship with Tony Khan might be getting to the point of beyond repair at this point, some PWTorch sources in AEW suggest.

With AEW’s All Out PPV in Chicago this Sunday, there is growing concern about the crowd reaction if Punk doesn’t wrestle on that show. Certainly fans assumed he’d be on the show when they purchased tickets. If Punk isn’t on the PPV taking place in Chicago, it’s an indication Khan couldn’t justify not suspending Punk over what happened on Sunday even if meant not appearing in his home market. Then again, Khan could possibly justify asking Punk to wrestle in Chicago for the sake of the fans, but then begin serving his suspension after that.

However, while Khan has been a big fan of Punk and tried to excuse his behavior or accommodate him in a way to try to steer him away from volatile situations, Punk’s conduct on Sunday could be a breaking point for Khan.

When Perry made his unauthorized comments on the PPV about “real glass,” a reference to stories that Perry believed Punk floated to the wrestling media weeks earlier to try to make him look bad, Punk was already upset about not being picked up at the airport by anyone with AEW. Punk didn’t know at the time that no one was picked up at the airport and he wasn’t singled out or forgotten about. AEW, unlike WWE, didn’t provide that level of logistical travel support to the wrestlers on this overseas trip.

PWTorch has learned Punk confronted TK in his locker room in what has been characterized as a heated, intense manner and, at one point, according to three sources who have heard about the situation, told Khan he quit and chewed out Khan with harsh phrasing.

As we previously reported, there was a moment where it appeared the Punk vs. Samoa Joe match wouldn’t take place at all, or at least not on time. It didn’t take long for Punk to agree to move forward with the match as planned, though. After his match, there was an extended period of time without communication between Punk and Khan, which is unusual given in past situations the two at least communicated via text after blow-ups or backstage situations. We haven’t heard if there has been communication since then.

Sean Ross Sapp reported on Twitter/X earlier this afternoon that “Punk has not been informed of a suspension by AEW.” Nick Hausman from Haus of Wrestling, after being read that Tweet, said on today’s (yet to be released) Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast that he heard Punk had been informed he was suspended, but not necessarily by Khan himself. “I’ve heard the opposite,” Haus said. “I believe Punk was informed of the suspension; I’ll put it that way.” There are no indications that Khan has directly communicated with Punk since Punk lashed out at him in his locker room before his match at All In. Instead, it appears Punk was informed he was suspended through his lawyer.

Sports Illustrated backed up a Bryan Alvarez report on Twitter/X that Punk and Perry have both been suspended. Past fines and suspensions for Punk, and others, have been kept quiet. PWTorch sources say Punk has been fined for past reported incidents, but both parties agreed to not go public with them.

The Gorilla position at All In on Sunday was a big open space between the entrance tunnel and the hallway where many wrestlers were lingering all evening. There have been some questions about how Punk and Perry were allowed to get so close to each other after Perry’s inflammatory comments in his match right before Punk’s.

The Gorilla position, near where the Punk-Perry confrontation and brief scuffle took place, was next to a photo shoot area and even a table with snacks. Perry would have been hanging out there after his match doing the usual post-match routine of mingling with wrestlers and getting feedback on his match. Since Punk’s match was next, they would have naturally been near each other when Punk headed toward the entrance tunnel, but there are conflicting reports regarding who made their way toward the other for the confrontation. Punk was worked up at that point, having just had it out with Khan, according to multiple sources

If AEW’s investigation found that while Perry instigated matters with his comment to the camera during his match, Punk escalated matters by confronting Perry in person near Gorilla before his match, it would explain why both were suspended over that. It’s also possible Punk lashing out at Khan could be enough for Khan to justify suspending him if Khan felt Punk crossed a line he hadn’t before.

With all of the drama, AEW wrestlers and personnel are opening speculating whether Punk is looking to just remove himself entirely from AEW at this point, and if Khan might be at the same place regarding the viability of the relationship.

With AEW negotiating with Warner Media about TV rights fees on a contract renewal for AEW’s cable shows, Khan might be reluctant to make any big move at this point that would subtract arguably the biggest name on his roster, especially if Khan has any sympathy for Punk who has shown a commitment to trying to move on from controversy and is merely reacting to being prodded by others.

If these latest reports are true then yeah he's probably the biggest bitch we've seen in years. He's got the backbone of an octopus.

"especially if Khan has any sympathy for Punk who has shown a commitment to trying to move on from controversy and is merely reacting to being prodded by others."
Man printing that uncritically is a f***ing move sure okay.

But yeah I'll give full credit to Tony Khan if this is finally too much. It was already kind of too much and I think the Ace Steel backpay shit is an embarrassment you can't come back from, but if he puts his foot down here and says this was enough then Tony will have successfully grown a spine at long last.

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

one half of me agrees with everyone and another half of me says this dude is so dead set on getting his angles/matches to happen that he doesn't even take into account how he himself is treated

he might really just be that stubborn and wanted that MJF/Punk match that bad

[A Little Doo Doo]

Chicago needs to get over CM Punk. They have Skye Blue.

Use the remaining Cult of Personality license duration on Skye Blue and have her rep Chicago as hard as Punk does, everyone'll get over it in a few months.

This is definitely a reason that both sides of this argument exists even if it seems to be a lot more cut and dry than it is...This type of reporting is what causes the issues here and elsewhere when it comes to information.

I wouldnt be shocked if TK doesnt want to pay the remaining of Punks contract if he decides to get rid of him, the whole investigation could help in wanting to render Punks contract void. The moment Punk is gone Ace Steel will probably be let go as well since he only got rehired because of Punk.

Nah this is speculation as well...He has a phd in bitchology

I hope it was because Joe aggressively taped his fists.

If the gorilla position was an open area like that, then putting the Golden Elite match immediately after Punk vs Joe was a brave choice.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

I will give zero credit to Tony if this finally ends Punk because he never should have come back in the first place and there's still someone on the undercard who worked babyface and retained his belt after threatening someone with a gun while driving

[markymark]

PWInsider addressed some "rumors", including that Punk was fined for his Hangman Page comments ("The belief among those within AEW is this is true, with some believing the fine may have even been in the five figure range. No one has (or will) go on record to confirm") and that Punk has been released (not true).

[XIII]

I don’t understand the “this our biggest show ever but you’ll have to find your own way to the arena!”

It can’t be true that no one had a car service. lol

God in all of this shit I f***ing forgot about Cash. Even as someone who said it was fair to be anxious about AEW not suspending Cash until Wembley because we had no reference for Tony ever letting people drop a belt before startting suspension, the fact that they retained really got eclipsed but wow yeah no that's still powerf***ed. I blame the Punk story and the hammer shitposting.

God Tony's a mess
