CM Punk Takes Shots At 'Hangman' Adam Page After AEW Collision
"I figured out why they call him Hangman..."
Another AEW Collision in the books, and another AEW Collision where CM Punk and FTR addressed the live crowd once the show went off the air. Only this time, the Second City Saint had one 'Hangman' Adam Page in his crosshairs.
As captured by X user @CynicMichaelYT, Punk fired some mild shots Hangman's way when referencing a sign in the crowd that noted how Greensboro, North Carolina was "Hangman Country".
For CM Punk, he explained to the Greensboro Coliseum audience how he'd visited a local supermarket earlier that day, and the reason why Adam Page is called Hangman is because toy aisles are full of Page's action figure. Labelling Hangman a "peg warmer", the Straight-Edge Superstar poked fun at how nobody wanted to buy Page's figure... unlike Punk himself, who "moves merchandise, pops ratings, sells toys".

Of course, CM Punk and 'Hangman' Adam Page have their fair share of history, with the troubles between Punk and the Elite seemingly starting when Page made some off-script promo comments about the Chicago native and "workers' rights".
During the infamous All Out post-PPV press conference, Punker would also glowingly refer to Hangman as an "empty headed dumb f**k".
While CM Punk will do battle with Samoa Joe at AEW All In later this month, the Real Worlds Champion has yet to have a match announced for All Out the following week. Punk vs. Page? Stranger things have happened...
