Initially people thought this was some troll shit thats part of The Young Bucks gimmick but sources in direct contact with WBD and AEW are now saying itll be aired.

Is this the "melt down" where Punk bitched someone out for wanting to use real, dangerous plate glass instead of stunt glass for a scene?

I've only half kept up with this.

I was wondering why Punk was looking at Khan when he said it was a man playing with children. AEW needs a smart owner and not a fan for an owner.

In a match he wasn't involved in that didn't impact him in the slightest. Sure is weird that Punk has life grudges with dozens of individuals and it's not punk who is ever the problem

Call me crazy, but I think this is an angle. Young Bucks are going hardcore heel at the moment - I could totally see them posting something that is obviously false just to piss off fans and elevate their heel status even more.

I feel like this is extremely childish, but I also feel like if they do legitimately air the footage, it's because they feel confident that it really does make Punk look like a child, and they're just childish enough themselves to do so.

We're watching toddlers fight right now folks

I would have agreed with this if Punk ignored the "real glass" jab, since it would have made Jungle Boy look petulant. Instead, Punk apparently took the bait and started a fight over it, so they both look terrible, but Punk really should have known better, being the veteran. If Punk hadn't reacted, nobody would have known what the "real glass" comment even was referencing. We only found out because Punk reacted.

AEW is a clown show and they continue to prove it everyday. They just spent millions on 3 new people who wont help that company in the slightest. The only way they can cling to a shred of relevancy is by latching onto a guy they all hate. When AEW doesnt get renewed, itll all collapse.

To be fair, we don't actually know what impact Punk leaving AEW has had. Ratings were dropping before Punk ever left, and then they kinda stabilized, and then they started dropping again. We have no idea if it was Punk related, or if people have just consistently been down on AEW period.

I mean theres no way this works out for them either way.

A.) They air the footage on TV and looks childish because they got their feelings hurt about Punk's interview

or

B.) They air some stupid false recreation and it pisses everyone because it will most likely come off stupid and embarrass everyone involved

Like just release it on Twitter and be done with it. CM Punk isnt going off on AEW on WWE TV. Dedicating a segment to him when he's gone is just stupid. I loved AEW when it first came out but its so sad to see where its at now. I want to watch to see swerve win but they are making it hard

I don't think so, honestly this looks bad as it is, and if they do something like that it will be even worse. Remember like between the store and everything else are they not really hi ranking people in AEW. This is like if the character Final Boss Rock, started going into detail about Vince sexual assault .

Either theyre going to be totally one-sided and neglect to mention anything leading up to this footage theyre showing just for a one time dig at punk that absolutely nobody will care about. Or, itll be totally made up bullshit.

Either way, after this week theyll have no more surprise footage and have nowhere to go. All for just a slight bump in one weeks ratings leeching off of punk that theyll be unable to maintain. Let them have the balls to show any footage of the time punk was ambushed if it exists. We know they wont do that. This pathetic company need to be put out of its misery, and most of their roster can fade back into obscurity and the rest can go crawling back to WWE.

This pretty much. They must know the footage contradicts CM Punk's explanation of events to the point it basically makes him look both violent and a liar. Itl backfire if Punk's version of events looks accurate. He did imply he didn't instigate the fight.

It is stooping kinda low to do this on live tv, as situations like this always have more to it than meets the eye, but I have been in a situation before where I couldn't help showing the evidence I had to prove a liar wrong.
