WWE veteran on CM Punk allegedly banning stars: "I love this, I think this is great" (Exclusive)
A WWE veteran has admitted that he is a fan of former AEW World Champion CM Punk taking control of who is allowed at certain events and who isn't.
Recent reports revealed that the August 12th edition of AEW Collision saw a number of people being banned from entering the arena. This included Hangman Page, Matt Hardy, and the Head of Talent Relations, Christopher Daniels.
While it's not officially been confirmed that this was CM Punk's decision, Vince Russo admitted on "The Wrestling Outlaws" that he absolutely loves the fact that Punk most likely has a list of people he doesn't want at events.
"So [CM] Punk parlayed that in to 'I'm getting my own show and you're only going to be on the show by invitation only.' I love it, I absolutely love it. But here's the funny thing bro and let's be honest, you know Punk made the list up front like 'okay these are the people that are allowed, these are the people that did it.' Tony didn't have the spaldings to tell those people that they're not going to be on Dynamite because CM Punk said so, so these jabrones are showing up only to be sent away at the door. I love this, I think this is great." [7:51-8:43]
