CM Punk Reportedly Has Backstage Heat With Top AEW Star

Last week AEW World Champion CM Punk officially made his return when he confronted Jon Moxley on Dynamite, and this week CM Punk kicked off the show. Punk cut a fiery promo where he called out former AEW World Champion Adam Page then said it was “coward s**t” when Page didn’t answer the call.

Dave Meltzer recently discussed the challenge on Wrestling Observer Radio while noting that there are real life issues between Punk and Page, and apparently no one knew that Punk was going to call Adam Page out.

“If you’re wondering about the CM Punk thing at the start of the show with Adam Page… that was weird, for everyone. As in, nobody knew he was going to do that. If you remember months ago when they were feuding, and I said there was a lot of reality to it – well, there’s a lot of reality to it.

“So, I don’t know what the deal was, and nobody else does either, but… Punk was supposed to go out there and talk about Moxley and build the match, and he did… after he talked about Adam Page. They may build something from it down the line, but it’s not scheduled for this pay-per-view, and nobody knew he was gonna do it.”

There was speculation that CM Punk would be facing Jon Moxley at All Out, but it was announced that they will face off next week on Dynamite to determine the undisputed AEW World Champion. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
