Last time they cracked 800k, and probably the single worst decision that Tony Khan could’ve made in that moment for a variety of reasons.
— It basically validated Punk’s version of events since (without audio) it seemingly went down exactly as he said.
— It was supposed to set up Jack Perry’s new character arc and return, but killed that shyt dead after the few shows because the entire character was “My Boss was mad I provoked his favorite wrestler into choking me, leading to him getting fired and me getting punished for it.”
— The entire wrestling world LAUGHED at that shyt, leading to it being yanked from all their socials and a few accounts hit with copyright strikes.
— Most importantly, it proved Tony and Co. could be gotten to and baited. He didn’t HAVE to do this. He could’ve paid that Punk interview in dust and kept it pushing, but he didn’t.
