"He's burying Tony Khan's decision making" - WWE legend blasts CM Punk's rant on multiple AEW stars at media scrum
CM Punk's recent comments at the AEW All Out media scrum have drawn much criticism, even from WWE veterans like Bully Ray.
The Second City Saint's enraged rant after this Sunday's pay-per-view is common knowledge by now. It has also been widely reported that a massive brawl broke out backstage in which Ace Steel allegedly hit Nick Jackson with a chair and bit Kenny Omega.
During the media scrum, Punk called out the AEW EVPs for apparently leaking information. He also blamed Hangman Adam Page for starting their real-life heat when the cowboy went into business for himself during their on-screen feud earlier.
WWE legend Bully Ray recently spoke on the topic during an appearance on Busted Open. Analyzing the course of events, he blamed the Second City Saint for starting the altercation.
"So Punk is basically saying that Tony Khan has made a horrible choice in this EVPs 'cause they are not even qualified to run a target let alone a wrestling company. He's burying Tony Khan's decision-making. He's burying his fellow talents that he might have to get in the ring with. He's burying the boys," Dudley said. (2:06 - 2:27)
