I think the bloom is off the rose with Punk and a lot of the hardcore fans, who make up a pretty big portion of the AEW fanbase. Prior to his return in 2021, the narrative that was spun around Punk was he was done wrong by the politics and backstage BS of the McMahons. But it's becoming clear he is a big problem as well.
The only way this works is if they lean into him being a heel, but I doubt Tony wants to do that.
Does that mean that Punk will say the n-word, too?CM Punk entering his Brian Pillman phase

He has the Jamie Hayter approval
The word going around about this ESPN interview is that its a worked shoot and he may "blur the lines" regarding what happened. Theres some stuff in there about Hangman he may say which may make Punk come across as a heel in regards to the previous rumour he thought he was gonna shoot on him
Thats probably the part that might be the thing that upsets some people but also this interview was pre-taped and likely would have been approved by TK.
I'll wait for someone to post the entire report from that site.
I'd have to go back and watch the match, but was there anything done that would have been out of the ordinary or is Sourpuss Punk making something out of nothing again?
