Let Punk win the Rumble and face Seth for the World Title at WM40... he can lose the match, put over Seth and finally headline WM during night 1.
He can retire for good after that.

New reports of Punk having an altercation with William Regal of all people when Regal made his AEW debut. It's funny how "Perry should have respected the veteran" works but "Punk should have respected the veteran" goes right out the window. What a clown.

Apparently Punk considered him a Triple H stooge and didn’t think he belonged in AEW. Imagine not wanting a talent like Regal in your wrestling company.

I actually wouldn't mind if Punk returned to WWE for a few more years on a part time basis... whether it's one more match or one more run or a few more runs... its all good for me.
I think he'll never return to AEW ever again which sucks cos he could have had many more great feuds and matches.

But yet people still defend him

Reports are saying that Punk wanted a meeting with the Bucks but they refused. How can they expect to be called VPs and have authority over others if they can't even talk to their coworkers? What I heard, was the meeting was actually scheduled to happen, in Atlanta before All In with Tony set to be part of it, but then the Elite called it off.

Regal immediately asked out of his contract when Triple H was made head of creative.

I get that people love Punk and I have been entertained by him, but even his most die hard fans have to see that he causes trouble everywhere he goes! There is one common thing when CM Punk is in a dispute of some kind and it is him! I am not saying that other parties here are innocent at all, but this is far from the first time that Punks attitude has been called into question.
He comes across as one of those people that are only happy as long as everyone is doing what he wants to do or agrees with what he thinks.

I am a big fan of Punk but clearly you can't defend his actions.Hes one of this biggest hypocrites in the history of wrestling.He tells coworkers if they have issues to confront him face to face like a man and when they do fights break out or he physically threats them.He talks about respecting and listening to veterans but gets heated if talents don't listen to him while he's done the exact same thing to the likes of Triple H,HBK,Regal and many others.
Also strong suspect issues with Cody Rhodes and main factor he jumped ship.Funny how Punk is brought in and five months later he's gone.Cody nit wanting to talk about it but still saying nice things about the Bucks,Omega & Khan.If he got along fine with the people in power what changed ?
I truly hope that Punk get his act together for a final run thay his fans and his career deserves but with his track record and lack of change over the course of his career I would want no part of him besides maybe a quick one off match or program.
I think after all of this we all have a new dream match to fantasy book in CM Punk Vs The Ultimate Warrior.

Dirtsheets are bullcrap and we must wait for Punk's side of the story.. But only when it goes against Punk. Anything in Punk's favour must be true!

Here are my thoughts on CM Punk getting fired:
From day one of his arrival it seemed like some of the EVP's had it out for him (More the Bucks than Omega from what I've heard), after last years All Out Brawl Out all the individuals involved should have been sat down in a room together and forced by Tony Khan to iron things out. If Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels can go out and wrestle each other for an hour plus at Mania while hating each other to their cores then Tony Khan should have forced the Bucks to suck it up and do what is best for business. All In this year should have been CMFTR v The Elite in the Main Event. The backstage situation they created the year before made it the biggest match AEW should have promoted.
There were some reports that CM Punk had his people reach out to bury the hatchet with the Elite only for the Young Bucks to lawyer up and not work towards creating a non-hostile work environment. (It appears that Omega was open to putting everything in the rear view mirror, but he was the only one).
If Jack Perry was told multiple times to NOT use real glass in a spot as been reported, then the final word should have come from Tony Khan and not CM Punk as is being reported. Simply put Tony Khan is a half decent booker, but he really needs to man up and stop trying to be everyone's best friend backstage and be the boss. If he is simply unable to do so he needs to distance himself from the roster and hire someone (not in an active roster position) to be the be all end all when talents have disputes or want to do things that both unsafe for themselves and their opponents.
Now if it comes out that Jack Perry told Hook he got permission to do the glass spot at All In and it wasn't priorly approved by someone backstage (things happen in the heat of the match) because the glass couldn't be gimmicked for safety and Jack Perry went ahead with the spot he should also be fired for not only putting his safety, but the safety of his opponent at risk. If you re-watch the Hook/Jack Perry match both men were cut by the glass, and if those cuts had happened just a few inches higher on their backs there is a chance they could have cut an artery and possibly bleed out on international television.
Essentially the entire CM Punk run in AEW breaks down into several simple factors:
1 - It looks like the Young Bucks were jealous that AEW got it's first Million Plus rating because of CM Punk, not to mention the companies first $1M gate in history.
2 - Tony Khan is truly letting the inmates run the asylum, he needs to be a boss and not a friend to the talent on the roster.
3 - CM Punk needs to grow a thick skin if he wants to continue in wrestling, he does need to let things go that don't matter.
4 - The only people who should be in EVP positions can't also be on the active roster as it's complete conflict of interest, look at how guys with "Creative Control" have hurt other companies in the past
5 - The younger talents on the roster have got to start listening to the advice of the veterans backstage (several talents [Hangman Page for example] have on on the record saying they don't seek out or listen to advice from the veterans who are backstage)
6 - AEW needs to create a firm backstage structure so each and every talent knows exactly who has final say in all in ring decisions, especially if Tony Khan is incapable of making those kinds of decisions, and if someone goes against that person's decision they are suspended without pay for a minimum of 30 days, then 90 days and finally outright released from the company.
I'd really hate for us to look back in say 5-10 years and say the CM Punk run in AEW was the beginning of the end.
