10 More Controversial Times Wrestlers Went Off-Script
1. CM Punk Calls Out Hangman Page - AEW Dynamite, 2022
Proving to be the match that ultimately sparked the ALL OUT blaze that engulfed the All Elite locker room by the time CM Punk had once again been crowned as the Undisputed AEW World Champion on September 4, The Best in the World's actions during his returning Dynamite address on August 17 caught just about everyone off-guard - including the target of his shoot call-out.
Taking to the ring and laying down a challenge to his Double or Nothing rival Hangman Page, Punk's calling out of the former AEW World Champion was far from a planned occurrence, with the iconic star's words of "that's not cowboy sh*t, that's coward sh*t" after Page's no-show being said to have been a "receipt" of sorts.
Jumping back to the lead-up to Double or Nothing, Punk was seemingly not too happy about Hangman's off-script digs at his incoming challenger in one of the pair's promo battles.
And a frustrated Punk's now-infamous press conference words of "What did I ever do in this world to deserve an empty-headed f*cking dumb f*ck like Hangman Adam Page to go out on national television and f*cking go into business for himself?', among other controversial things, have now set the stage for what looks to be a truly pivotal spell in All Elite history.
