There is trouble in paradise again between CM Punk and AEW as Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com is reporting that the word going around is that both sides are once again locking horns over the return of Punk’s friend Ace Steel to AEW.
Punk was omitted from the Collision announcement which was made this morning and not featured on the press release either. When ComicBook.com reached out to WBD to ask why Punk was removed from the original announcement, a brief statement from them read, “CM Punk is not affiliated with TNT’s AEW Collision.”
CM Punk is pushing for Ace Steel to return and work the Collision show but apparently, according to Johnson, the decision was taken for Steel not to return. Steel was the only one who originally lost his job following the All Out backstage brawl.
Meanwhile, Punk himself vented his frustration in an Instagram story, targeting Bryan Alvarez from F4WOnline.
“Look everyone, Bryan Alvarez doesn’t like it when misinformed internet trolls make up rumors about him so please stop making up rumors and stories for clicks while Bryan makes up rumors and stories for clicks okay?” Punk wrote.
Punk added that he hasn’t been on TV in nine months and people still can’t stop talking about him.
“Maybe stop, you’ll feel better. Love, hate, it’s all the same. I don’t enjoy being the sole person that props up entire misinformed clickbait industry based on toxic gossip from lying sources, but what can you do? When you’re the king, it comes with the crown,” he wrote.
