    Nic Nemeth must be real glad he didn't pick AEW over TNA lol.
  • The best thing I saw all weekend was Forbes reporting the results from AEW Dynamite, and they included CM Punk defeated Jack Perry. 😂
  • @Bjaerke
    If they fired Punk for this why didn't they fire Kingston for punching Sammy bc he called Eddie fat? Why didn't they fire Andrade for punching Sammy? Why didn't they fire the Bucks and Punk after Brawl Out? Why does Sammy get punched backstage regularly? They should turn this into a running gag.
  • @OuTSMOKE
    Tony Schivone prolly sitting at the announce table like "Is this dude gonna make me start giving the viewers WWE results next?" 🤣
  • What record did they set straight? Punk never said he wasn't the aggressor and told exactly what happened and the video proved everything Punk said. Tony set Punk's record straight lol.
  • Honestly Draymond Green punching Jordan Poole was worse than the CCTV footage 😂
  • The fact they needed Punk again to boost ratings for a minute or two
  • @danielcraig4974
    Maybe Tony Khan believes if he can get the AEW fans to chant for CM Punk so much he'll come back lol
  • @ReapFamily
    It gave them barely over 800K. It wasn’t worth it. AEWs momentum is at an all time low, and nothing will change until Tony leaves the booking to someone else.
  • @darklinkx8
    TK was scared of his life over that? Omg, I've seen more legitimate worry in the McDonald's queue line
  • @BigBeast227
    AEW’s side was CM Punk’s side. They basically proved Punk was telling the truth. And since he was telling the truth here, people are more inclined to believe he’s being honest when he talks about AEW. That’s always been somewhat of a weird knock against Punk. That he’s too honest.
  • @al5306
    Nah, the Adam Copeland promo was cringe. It felt like he was hugging Tony but wasn't. AEW's biggest problem is that they see criticism as "being negative." If you don't correct the things you're doing wrong, you never get better. You don't improve by ignoring feedback. If we blasted Vince McMahon for ignoring it, we should do the same for Tony. Tony is treated like a Make-a-Wish kid who's off limits and you can't say anything bad about him.
  • @crou8040
    My one take away from the CCTV footage: Poor Chris Hero. 😂
  • @Rendclaw
    This proves that AEW is run by the company's version of Mean Girls and not Tony Khan.
  • The worst part is that with AEW ratings going up due to the footage it only proves that PUNK = RATINGS... Watch viewership drop now that there's no more Punk videos left LOL
  • Tony khan- “there was pushing and shoving we had to fire him, he created unsafe work environment ” Tony khan “tune inn next week 2 guys will fight to death in a no rules ,razor blade , barbed wired laceration match, with a ring surrounded by 500 watts of electricity and explosives,”
  • @pjdoherty7590
    The company buried itself. Did they not learn from WCW?
