Jim Cornette says AEW stars are "p*ssies" for refusing to work with WWE veteranĀ 

Wrestling veteran Jim Cornette recently offered his thoughts on AEW: All In's pre-sale success. During which, he branded the Young Bucks as "p*ssies" for their supposed refusal to work with CM Punk.

Fans and professionals alike have called for Tony Khan to book a blockbuster dream match between CM Punk and FTR against The Elite. Given that Punk and the trio were involved in a backstage altercation following last year's All Out event.

Jim Cornette touted the match during his Drive-Thru podcast before expressing doubts about its possibility. The veteran dubbed the Young Bucks as "p*ssies" and dismissed Kenny Omega as being confused in the process.

"The only match that AEW has that is markedly different from any other main event match or title match or whatever that they've already promoted somewhere would be the six-man with [CM] Punk and whoever, whether it be FTR, whoever, against the EVPs... I don't know whether they're going to do it or not going to do it, they're probably not going to do it because we know that the buckaroos [Young Bucks] are p*ssies and Kenny's just confused," Jim Cornette said.
