Former champion shares his experience in the AEW locker room amid tensions between Jon Moxley and CM Punk (Exclusive)
CM Punk's recent outburst on Instagram targeting Jon Moxley and Chris Jericho still has everyone talking. A former champion has now described his experience in the AEW locker room.
The champion in question is Shane Taylor. He held the ROH Television Championship in 2019 and was the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champion as part of "Shane Taylor Promotions."
Moxley recently stated on Renee Paquette's podcast that he bent over backward to put The Second City Saint over during their on-screen feud.
“So even me being in this room & offering & agreeing to a storyline that puts you over at the PPV, if anything, I am bending over backwards for Tony (Khan) & for this dude (CM Punk)”

But what does Shane Taylor think of all of it? Speaking to Dr. Chris Featherstone on Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSkripted, the former ROH TV Champion had this to say:
“Not my business has nothing to do with me, nothing to do with me.” [24:01 - 24:10]
Taylor was also asked what his experiences backstage at AEW have been like, given all of the reports of backstage tension among talent. He replied:
“I can only speak to my experience what I’ve seen so far has been good, but again, none of what anybody else’s opinions are of what anybody has said has anything to do with me. So that’s their business, not mine. From the few times that I’ve been there, it’s been great, that’s the only thing I’ve got.” [24:25 - 24:54]
