10 Times The AEW Locker Room Must Have Been VERY Awkward

1. When CM Punk Met Colt Cabana

It's very likely - if not 100% certain - that CM Punk and Colt Cabana have not physically interacted since August 20, 2021.

In fact, CM Punk has probably set up a No Colts Club, to which Colten Gunn is invited because they're allowed one. Punk has his own locker room, and told Sports Illustrated recently that it's always open. Imagine Cabana knocking on it, f*cking hell.

Punk texted Cabana saying that his fees would be "100% covered" for their defamation lawsuit filed by WWE physician Dr. Christopher M. Amann. They even signed a contract stipulating this. It didn't happen, Cabana sued, Punk countersued, and although both were ultimately settled, their friendship died. A complicated game of "Am I The A*shole?" had ensued, and while it would appear to be Punk, it was complicated. Punk was sued. The answer was rather resounding when, and this is all alleged and whispered you understand, Punk attempted to force Cabana out of AEW upon his arrival. The locker room united in defiance, which purportedly encouraged Khan to shunt Cabana to ROH. Which doesn't really exist, does it?

A more accurate entry title, really, is 'Whenever Colt Cabana bounces on a figurative trampoline and everybody is bummed out".
