I actually don't even think Punk's WWE references even come from him having an axe to grind anymore, feel like he "moved on" from it ages ago and was eager to get the frivolous lawsuit with the doctor over with.
But I think he's just of the mindset that stuff like that shots on WWE always make for an "easy pop" from the audience. He's not the only wrestler that does it, but I feel like they need to stop with playing to the lowest common denominator like that. I cringed a little when they'd do the WWE references in the early days of AEW, but at this point they've been on TV for over two years and it just doesn't feel needed. |

His return promo was more about his journey back than the fed. I know about the “less talented Miz” line. That’s actually kinda fed GOOD if you think about it. What else? |

Why did Punk, who has made it known over the years how bitter he is that he never main evented Wrestlemania while Miz did, who got so triggered over a comment Miz made on WWE backstage that he tweeted go suck a blood covered Saudi dick, need to bring up Miz at all? If Punk is so good, why does he need that crutch? "Main Event Night 4 of a buy 1 get 1 free show". Real righteous comment there, not bitter at all. |

They didn’t promote everybody’s first time there because A) not everybody is as big of a deal as Punk, B) most of their stars have been there from the get-go, C) others likely made their actual debut there, D) Others haven’t been away from wrestling for 7 years making their first appearance less special... I could go on... They don’t promote his first time in every arena because... once again... every arena... is not their home arena. I’m sorry I called this a gimmick. I was hoping you’d take the chance to blow it off as a joke. Bashing Tony for promoting CM Punk’s first appearance in AEW’s home arena is the nitpicky reach to end all nitpicky reaches though. |

It was AEW! Promoting an AEW show! To AEW fans! It literally only matters that it’s a special arena for AEW. You not thinking it’s special therefore AEW shouldn’t promote it as such despite its significance to the company is ridiculous! Lol
