Cm Punk is one of the most divisive wrestling personalities in the pro wrestling world. After leaving WWE in 2014, and trying his hand at MMA and the movies, Punk would move to AEW in 2021 and would soon become one of the top stars on the roster.
However, last year Punk indulged in a media scrum, and call out certain wrestlers of AEW. This led to the infamous ‘brawl out’ controversy. However, soon Punk injured himself and be out of action for several months and required surgery.

During the media scrum, he would call out the EVPs of the company, The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega, as well as Hangman Adam Page. Punk’s comments during the scrum caused major controversy as well as created rifts amongst the wrestlers.
The controversy became such a major talking point that all the involved wrestlers were removed from AEW programming. However, soon Punk’s injury was announced though there was no confirmation on his future in company.
Recently, it was reported that Punk is supposed to be in a meeting with Tony Khan and other AEW wrestlers to discuss his future in the company. As per Dave Meltzer, Punk could meet with Khan, Chris Jericho, The FTR, and a non-wrestling personality to discuss his future.
There is a meeting scheduled soon in AEW with Chris Jericho, C.M. Punk, Tony Khan, FTR and perhaps one other non-wrestler personality.

Fans believed that both these entities had nothing to do with Punk’s controversy last year, and they should not have been involved. They were of the opinion that instead Tony Khan should have fixed a meeting with The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and Adam Page.
Where is The Elite? Why is this FTRs business? Get all parties involved and on the same page. This will only cause more issues.

Hopefully Jim Ross. There needs to be a sensible voice in the middle who doesn’t have dog in the fight either way who has experience in working out issues with talent.

Call me crazy but TK, Punk, & The Elite should be there. You know the people who were involved in the backstage brawl. Mox should be too since Punk talked trash on him. TK needs to stop being a best friend and start acting like a boss.
