CM Punk has been the talk of the wrestling world ever since the All Out pay-per-view last year, and in recent weeks it’s been reported that the former AEW World Champion was expected to return to All Elite Wrestling to be part of the company’s new show Collision. However, the show was announced today and there was no mention of CM Punk.
Following the announcement it was reported by PWInsider that CM Punk was pulled from advertising materials for Collision and that he’s once again at odds with AEW. Punk then took to social media to post about Wrestling Observer reporter Bryan Alvarez in his Instagram stories when he posted the following:
“Look everyone Bryan Alvarez doesn’t like it when misinformed internet trolls make up rumors about him so please stop making up rumors and stories for clicks while Bryan makes up rumors and stories for clicks okay? He’s married for gods sake! By gawd that man has a family! (Bryan Alvarez shut the f**k up and stop talking about me challenge day 1)”
Punk continued posting to his Instagram stories and he recently followed up with a video message addressing “fringe wrestling fans” and tribalism in the world of professional wrestling.
“One more before I go, really quick. The parasocial relationship a lot of fringe wrestling fans have with certain people is really unhealthy. I get the tribalism, like it’s fun to root for your team, but picking sides seems a little silly. You don’t know me. You don’t know anybody else. So, just go touch grass.”
At this point in time it’s still not clear what the future holds for CM Punk and AEW, but fans are still waiting to find out what Tony Khan’s announcement will be tonight on Dynamite. Stay tuned for updates.
