Happy Monday! Good morning, everyone! How was your weekend?
Not too long ago, Dave Meltzer, a wrestling journalist, released his Observer Newsletter to his followers and mentioned new information about CM Punk.
AEW/Tony Khan is looking to buy out CM Punk’s contract.
The feeling in AEW is that CM Punk is done with the company.
WWE may be interested in acquiring CM Punk.
There’s probably more, but these are the main points.
I counter these with an ageless question:
Is there not a legal investigation still happening?
After the All Out Brawl, we got the one-sided retelling of the Brawl. How convenient there wasn’t any photos or videos. Everyone retells this story as:
CM Punk said some things.
The Elite didn’t like it and were the aggressors.
A “fight” broke out. Kenny Omega bitten by Ace Steel
Those are the main points. And then the following weeks the phrase “legal investigation” popped up into the story. We also included two new people to this story. And if there was a “legal investigation” happening, Kenny Omega wouldn’t have been able to fulfil his Japan booking of promoting the upcoming AEW game at the Japanese Games Con. You can’t leave the country if a “legal investigation” is happening/in process.
A month later, this “legal investigation” suddenly disappeared. No mention of it. Or at least new information. Also, if The Young Bucks were the aggressors, how come they never apologized to CM Punk? Everyone involved needs to apologize — that’s something we all agree on across the board.
However, every month; every week it feels and seems like we get new info about CM Punk and Ace Steel but NEVER about The Young Bucks or Kenny. The only new info we got about Kenny Omega is from Konnan. He runs the Mexican promotion AAA. He said that he asked Kenny Omega for a promo to help set up his next match against a AAA oppoent. Kenny tells him that he can’t due to “legal reasons.”
YET! Kenny Omega was in Japan without a problem and while at the Haoming store in Japan he made fun of CM Punk’s words of: The Elite couldn’t even run a Target.
