CM Punk ERUPTS At All Out Scrum: Shoots HARD On Colt Cabana, Hangman Page And AEW EVPs!
New AEW World Heavyweight Champion lets loose in shocking post-show tirade!
CM Punk held nothing back in an explosive post-AEW All Out press conference.
The new AEW Champion was first in the room and addressed a number of huge issues that had been bubbling under the surface since his return to television a number of weeks ago.
Punk was first up as the scrum kicked off and wasted no time getting straight into it when a question was asked about Colton. In profanity-laden rants, Punk spoke seemingly with total unfiltered honesty about the breakdown of their relationship, his intense frustrations with Hangman Page and the other All Elite Wrestling Executive Vice Presidents, the wrestling media at large and the grim reality of his time out with an injured foot.
As aggregated by Jon Alba and JJ Williams, Punk hit on the following:
On Scott 'Colt Cabana' Colton:
CM Punk says in the beginning of his availability he hasn’t been involved with Scott Colton (Colt Cabana) in nearly a decade. He is explaining why their friendship fell apart, from his perspective. He is explaining their financial fallout as well. #AEW #AllOut

Punk says he asked for mediation and offered Colt Cabana money to avoid the lawsuit. Says Cabana turned it down. #AEW #AllOut

CM Punk says there are EVPs that put information out to media about his relationship with Scott Colton. He is extremely upset right now. He says Hangman Page went into business for himself on national television. #AEW #AllOut

CM Punk says he believes in the place he works and they have a lot of talent. He says he still believes in five years #AEW will be on course as he felt a year ago. But says there is still a lot of drama, and hopes they work through it. Says he hopes Adam Cole stays healthy.

On his injuries:

The above topics had been the hottest since Punk made his return to television following the injury, with multiple reports already out there about the issues with Page that had blighted their World Title programme earlier this year. Fallout regarding Colton and the lawsuit had been known, but the details have never been fleshed out to this extent until now.
More on this incredible story and the inevitable fallout as and when it breaks.
