Eddie Kingston seemingly fires back at CM Punk after his shocking AEW claim 

CM Punk is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in professional wrestling. He is currently signed to WWE. However, from 2021 to 2023, he was with AEW and even won the world title twice.

Although Punk's run in the Jacksonville-based company ended on a sour note, he locked horns with several prominent names such as MJF, Samoa Joe, Bobby Fish, Darby Allin, and Wardlow, among others. At Full Gear 2021 he faced former AEW Continental Champion Eddie Kingston and defeated him in under 12 minutes. Recently, The Best in the World shockingly claimed that he felt like he wasted some matches on a few people when he was signed to All Elite Wrestling.

Now, The Mad King, who is currently sidelined with an injury, has seeming hit back at Punk. The Second City Saint had a heated rivalry with Kingston during his tenure with All Elite Wrestling.

"Nothing will kill a great employee faster than watching you tolerate a bad one."

The 42-year-old didn't put up a caption for this picture and disabled the post's comment section. While it remains unknown why he uploaded this image, fans have been speculating that it's directed towards the WWE star.

Former AEW World Champion CM Punk says he wasted matches on some people

CM Punk was recently interviewed by Peter Rosenberg on Cheap Heat, where the latter asked the 46-year-old if there were any All Elite wrestlers he thought he missed the opportunity to tell a story with.

The Best in the World responded to this question by surprisingly stating that he wasted some matches.

"No. I feel like I wasted some matches on some people, for sure. That is what it is. Some people understand the business and some people don’t. I think everybody here understands the business.” [H/T 411 Mania]

CM Punk made his WWE return in November 2023 at Survivor Series: WarGames.
