Regardless of whether I agreed with it or not, I could understand bringing Punk back. But I could never understand bringing Ace Steel back, especially after the news broke that he wasn't allowed backstage and had to work remotely. And giving him backpay! To me, the most ridiculous part of this whole saga was Ace Steel.
Glad that he's gone. I doubt anyone will notice the difference.

Ace Steel basically took Scott Colton's place in CM Punk's (tiny) friend circle.

Everyone remembers CP Munk and Colt Cabunny, but I doubt anyone can remember Ace's species in Team WWF. I remember. It was Ace Panda. Because Mike Quackenbush decided that referencing WWE losing their original initials to the World Wildlife Fund was both clever and topical, for some reason. Which is especially dumb, because "Ace Seal" was RIGHT THERE. Benefit of hindsight it should've been Ace Meal and he should've been trying to eat everyone.

I've seen on Twitter and in Facebook comments some of the hardcore Punk fanbase now turning on Ace Steel with their theory that the Punk problems in AEW started once Ace joined the company and all of Punk's outbursts and missteps have been because Ace Steel has been egging him on like Ace is Punk's Lady MacBeth or some shit.
Just wild the reaches some will make to defend their parasocial boy.

There were actual reports before Punk came back that he was ready to back out on his return because Ace Steel not being allowed in AEW buildings anymore was not relayed to him They are made for one another lol

"Oh wow, Hangman was dropping subliminals in his promos. You didn't hear them? Oh worrddd?" Pepsi is a SOFT drink, but Ace probably played into that to keep his gravy train going.

Do you know what show it was at because it must have been a one off.
