The Penguins swept the Blackhawks in 1992 and Francis is credited with the game winning goal in the deciding game. CM Punk has been one of the biggest names in the wrestling industry for the past decade and a half, but it looks like the Pittsburgh Penguins live rent-free in his head.

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.

It's hard to tell given that the camera is only pointed in one direction, but if I had to wager a guess I would suspect that one of the reporters was wearing some type of Penguins memorabilia, resulting in the rant from CM Punk.

“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.

The story of Nick Jackson having a black eye came from Steel throwing a chair at him." While there's apparently plenty of heat on Steel, sources are apparently split over who is at fault between the two parties. Matt and Nick Jackson got into a physical altercation with Punk, while Omega got involved with backstage coach Ace Steel. Sources are saying Steel "cracked" Nick Jackson with a chair. [according to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp](https://www.patreon.com/fightful/posts), reportedly played out as follows — Punk returned to his locker room following his involvement in the media scrum.

After unleashing on Adam Page and "irresponsible EVPs," Punk reportedly got in a real-life backstage scuffle with The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega.

Punk is reported to have taken a swing at Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson reportedly sustained a blow to the eye from Steel. Steel is also said to have gotten in a melee with Kenny Omega, who's also an EVP, reportedly biting him in the brawl. "If you're an EVP, you don't try to middle your top babyface and try to get your niche audience on the internet to hate him for some made-up, bull**** rumor," Punk said.

On the latest Undisputed podcast, Bobby Fish talked about his experience with Tough Enough and he had some things to say about CM Punk. on Tough Enough: ...

It is what it is, but I wanted permission to do a fight, and I couldn’t get there with Tony. So there were people that were there with me that I knew from different indie shows and whatever, and I had to act as if I was meeting them for the first time if we thought we were being recorded, which we were told that at any time, you could be recorded, so we had to pretend. I may have had a tryout and didn't get selected for the tryout and didn’t get selected for the tryout.” I mean, he could pick the time, the place, like we can do it in Chicago.” He did say if anybody got a problem with him who walks past him in the hallway, tell him to his face. He can pick the weight. You're telling us as we're recording this that you're challenging CM Punk to a match. I don't know how far along in the process I was necessarily, but I know that they were picking eight, and we were down to like 25 people that were there. They had said to us, one of the things that they requested of us was, if you are being recorded, don't act like you know anyone, even if you know them. They hadn't started filming anything per se yet, but they did say to us that we'll see cameras and when the cameras are around, and I’m not going to take the rabbit out of the hat so to speak, but there were certain things that they were like, ‘There are cameras, so act this way’, but nothing that was recorded of me made it to air that I'm aware of. I think I had a dark match. "I'm almost positive I sent in a Tough Enough video before I had gotten into wrestling.

Bobby Fish invites CM Punk to compete against him in a non-pro wrestling setting and chimes in on the reported fight Punk was involved in.

It was actually something that I talked to other people in the company about but I could never nail Tony down and in Tony’s defense, he’s a busy man, especially on TV days, it is what it is but I wanted permission to do a fight and I couldn’t get there with Tony so now, it’s no secret, I don’t need anyone’s permission at this point so yeah, let’s make this sh*t official Phil… He said he attempted to sit down with Tony Khan on multiple occasions to discuss the idea of doing a kickboxing fight. If that’s the direction he wants to go and I mean, he could pick the time, the place, we can do it in Chicago. He can pick the weight, he can pick the place like I said.

The use of MJF’s real-world drama as an angle, and using wrestling media as a tool to sell their story is all in the immediate DNA of AEW. Nobody is doubting that this began with backstage friction, but for it to progress to this point is so far fetched, and fans are so caught up in in the moment, that if you step back for a second it’s really pretty illogical. There is a chasm between coworkers yelling at each other, and throwing chairs and biting each other — regardless of the egos involved. What better way to boost ratings over the next three months ahead of a TV renewal than selling the world on the idea that Punk and the vice presidents of the company hate each other and are coming to blows backstage? This is a company that has hidden signings and debuts from their own wrestlers to keep a surprise, and the veracity of this drama (if it’s a fake storyline) is far too important for it to leak out. We know that the next few months for AEW are pivotal to the future growth of the company. Punk also isn’t above calling out people publicly and breaking the fourth wall, as he did with his famous “pipebomb” promo in 2011, when he sat on the stage of Monday Night Raw to pull back the curtain on his hatred for Vince McMahon, Triple H, and Stephanie McMahon. This is personal and workplace drama which shouldn’t be the concern of fans — but it became that way due to media reports, and Punk deciding to burn everyone in his orbit during the press conference on Monday morning. Punk’s press conference made fans forget they got worked for months, aided by wrestling media who assured fans this was a very real falling out, only to see MJF return — which was likely always the plan. It was a jam-packed weekend in the world of professional wrestling with WWE and AEW holding three pay-per-view shows combined, but all anybody is talking about is CM Punk. “According to multiple sources that lined up with some of Fightful’s reporting, there was a fight backstage afterward with Punk allegedly starting things by swinging fists at the Bucks’ Matt Jackson. Here’s the Cliff’s Notes on what Punk is referring to if you got lost by what he’s saying.
