MJF Returns, CM Punk Regains Title at AEW's All Out (Sports Illustrated)

Punk originally won the belt in May, but was injured at the beginning of June, necessitating an interim champ to be crowned. Moxley won that tournament, then ...

This was a solid change of pace for the show, and furthered the intensity of the program. This show was formatted and structured very differently from yesterday’s Clash at the Castle event, but a key part of AEW’s success is that it is a different presentation than WWE. Perhaps that isn’t the worst thing—there was an abundance of wrestling to enjoy. It will be interesting to see what happens next with Moxley, who feels like he is better suited as a loner than as part of the Blackpool Combat Club. There was another six-man tag before the main event, as Darby Allin, Sting, and Miro defeated The House of Black. He looked like a star, and the Bucks added to the brilliance of the bout. It also advanced the story between Baker and Hayter, with Baker taking advantage of their partnership to try and steal the match away from Hayter. Christian Cage and Jungle Boy were up next, but this was less of a match and more of a progressing of an angle. The crowd would have exploded had Bowens and Caster pulled off the win, and it felt like this was the perfect time for them to win—but there was some outstanding heel work on display from Lee and Strickland. Wardlow pinned Lethal after four straight powerbombs, and a highlight during the aftermath was the return of Samoa Joe, who was written out of programming while filming Twisted Metal. There is an electricity about seeing Omega and the Bucks together, and we were treated to a Page-Omega sequence in the ring, the first since last November in their world title match. After the 13-minute mark, Stokely Hathaway’s men came out and cleaned house, The Rolling Stones’s “Sympathy for the Devil” then played, and a man in a devil’s mask came out to grab the casino chip for the victory.

What did I ever do? And the fact that I have to get up here and do this in 2022 is f*cking embarrassing. The fact that I have to sit up here because we have irresponsible people who call themselves EVPs and couldn’t f*cking manage a Target and they spread lies and bullsh*t and put into the media that I got somebody fired when I have f*ck all to do with him, want nothing to do with him, do not care where he works, where he doesn’t work, where he eats, where he sleeps.

CM Punk unloads on Colt Cabana, AEW EVPs in wild press ... (New York Post)

The now two-time All Elite Wrestling champion unloaded on Colt Cabana, whose real name is Scott Colton, “Hangman” Adam Page and the AEW executive vice ...

“I gave him a f–king chance, it did not get handled, and you saw what I had to do, which is very regrettable, lowering myself to his f–king level. And I will still walk up and down this hallway and say ‘if you have a f–king problem with me, take it up with me.” “I’m trying to run a f–king business,” Punk continued. “It’s f–king unfortunate that I have to come up here and speak on this when I’m on my time and this is a f–king business. the fact that I have to get up and do this in 2022 is f–king embarrassing.” “What did I ever do in this world to deserve an empty-headed f–king dumbf–k like ‘Hangman’ Adam Page to go out on national television and f–king go into business for himself? Punk seemed to confirm that to be true and show him calling out Page as a way to prove a point to the young star about how to do proper business in his eyes. I understand sticking up for your f–king friends, I f–king get it, I stuck up for that guy [Cabana] more than anybody. “It’s not [Khan’s] position to make it very f–king clear,” Punk said. [Fightful Select reported](https://www.patreon.com/fightful) early Monday morning that the Bucks and Omega – who were originally scheduled to appear at the press conference after being crowned the first AEW trio champions — were “extremely pissed off” by Punk’s comments. He also said Punk had “nothing to do with any of the contracts.” Punk and his former friend had a falling out when they were both sued for defamation by ex-WWE doctor Chris Ammen for comments Punk made on Cabana’s “The Art of Wrestling Podcast” in 2014.

CM Punk Reportedly Throws Punches At Fellow AEW Star Following ... (TheSportster)

Reports are surfacing that CM Punk got into a physical altercation with the Young Bucks backstage after his comments during the AEW media scrum.

This is not a good situation for the company and online fans are wondering if a line has been drawn where not everyone will survive this when it comes to keep employment in AEW. Khan called it a dicey situation and said he still believes The Elite are significant contributors behind the scenes and in front of the camera. Both Matt and Nick Jackson confronted Punk about what he said when Punk threw a handful of people under the bus and reports are that punches were thrown by Punk to at least one of The Young Bucks' members.

I’m still f***ing pissed about (1992).” It’s pretty clear that ‘The Best in the World’ has never been able to get over it. One of his biggest qualms with the Penguins is that he has seemingly never forgotten the 1992 Stanley Cup Finals. [went on NBC Sports Washington](https://russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2014/12/29/former-wwe-champion-cm-punk-thinks-the-blackhawks-will-shut-out-the-caps-at-the-winter-classic/) and told Brian Mitchell that the Blackhawks would be shutting out the Capitals in the 2015 Winter Classic. The Caps would go on to win that game 3-2 thanks to a very late goal from Troy Brouwer. Incredibly polarizing professional wrestler CM Punk won the AEW World Championship at 2022 All Out on Sunday night.

CM Punk: Former WWE star goes on fiery, personal rant on AEW ... (GiveMeSport)

CM Punk didn't hold back in fiery rant during AEW All Out media scrum, attacking a range of employees…

And the fact that I have to get up here and do this in 2022 is f*****g embarrassing. When elaborating on what he said about the EVPs, Punk stated: “Because if you’re an EVP, you don’t try and middle your top babyface, try to get your niche audience on the internet to hate him for something, made up b******t rumour. Max likes to s**t where he eats instead of watering the grass so we’ll have to see how that goes.” I think Max is a supremely talented individual and this goes for anyone else in the locker room who doesn’t want to be here. “What did I ever do in this world to deserve an empty-headed f*****g dumb f**k like Hangman Adam Page to go out on national television and f*****g go into business for himself. The former [WWE](http://www.givemesport.com/wwe) star has gone after EVPs of the brand (The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega), Colt Cobana, MJF and Hangman Adam Page.

I have every invoice. I have every receipt. It’s f*cking unfortunate that I have to come up here and speak on this when I’m on my time and this is a f*cking business. Cabana has not been featured almost at all since CM Punk joined the company and now has a future in the Tony Khan-owned Ring of Honor.
