CM Punk wrestled in the main event of AEW Collision this week when CMFTR challenged House of Black for the AEW World Trios Championship. In the end it was House of Black who walked out with the gold, but CM Punk cut a promo after the show that got people talking.
It’s certainly no big secret that CM Punk has had his issues with Adam Page since they worked together last year, and Punk took a shot at Page following Collision when he claimed that Hangman doesn’t move merchandise.
“Hello, North Carolina. What is this? Huh? What is this? Look at this: “Carolina is Hangman Country.” Earlier today, I went to a local supermarket and I figured out why they call him Hangman is because the pegs in the toy aisle are full of Hangman action figures. ’cause nobody wants to buy ’em. He’s a peg warmer, unlike me, who moves merchandise and pops ratings and sells toys.”
“We got everybody in AEW saying, ‘I’m the heart, I am the soul. I am the spirit.’ Well, that’s objective. What is a fact is the people who say that certainly aren’t the chin of AEW because the lights go out faster than what? GTS, go to sleep.”
Last year CM Punk and The Elite were involved a backstage altercation after the All Out pay-per-view and many fans on social media have been calling for a Punk vs. Elite feud on AEW TV. At this point in time it’s not clear if it will ever happen, but FTR recently indicated that they’re hopeful the feud could become a reality someday.
