"Can see Cody convincing them to come to WWE" - Twitter explodes as multiple AEW stars reportedly threaten to walk out due to CM Punk's comments following All Out
The wrestling world was in shock when rumors about The Elite (Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks) seemingly threatening to leave AEW following CM Punk's post-All Out comments broke out.
During the post-All Out media scrum, the Second City Saint brought up his history with Colt Cabana. He then took shots at Hangman Page and The Elite. The former WWE Superstar said that Omega and The Young Bucks leaked rumors about Punk wanting Cabana fired from the company.
Punk also claimed that Page "went into business for himself" and almost compromised a huge AEW gate.
According to Fightful Select, The Elite was allegedly "extremely p*ssed off" and even threatened to walk out of All Elite Wrestling following CM Punk's comments in the media scrum.
The report further stated that one of The Young Bucks had been in contact with "talent outside AEW," seemingly indicating that the recent backstage rumors about The Second City Saint had some truth.
The Twitterati erupted soon after, and here are a few of the reactions to it:
@WrestleOps If they leave Aew I can see Cody convincing them to come to wwe
Y'all I know we like CM Punk, but if I have to choose between Punk or the Bucks and Kenny Omega.
I feel like the no brainer is Kenny and the Bucks.
It would be one of the most greatest pivotal moments if the Young Bucks, Hangman Page and Kenny Omega all left @AEW . And let the real wrestlers bring wrestling back and restore it to its true art in booking, psychology, delivery, and acting.
@WrestleOps When you have your EVPs threatening to walk you HAVE to do something
@WrestleOps Imagine all the EVPs end up in WWE after everything 💀
@WrestleOps Omega and the Bucks finally ready to be big league players or what ?
@WrestleOps Here comes the “it’s a work” even if it is a work, tf is it gonna accomplish??? And elite vs punk match?? Lol once people know it’s work they gonna not care as much
@WrestleOps Either Tony Khan is a creative genius or we are on the verge of a complete nuclear meltdown.
Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks aren’t going anywhere lol come on. I’m sure they’re annoyed but they ain’t quitting the place they built. It’s called All ELITE Wrestling for a reason. #AEWAllOut #AEW
Getting a good laugh from CM Punk's comments and how certain people apparently threatened to "walk out" over them. Literally nothing good has ever come from those goofy media scrums.
