DDP Thinks CM Punk Will Be Fine In AEW
CM Punk will be fine if he returns to AEW, according to DDP
With the fallout of the All Out backstage brawl still reverberating through AEW, many fans believe it all spells the end for CM Punk in the company.
The former AEW World Champion was suspended for his part in a backstage fight with The Elite, and remains out of the company for the time being due to an ongoing investigation - as well as injury. However, during an appearance on the Battleground podcast, wrestling legend Diamond Dallas Page was true to form and remained positive about Punk’s future in the company:
"Tony Khan and I got pretty close [after I helped Cody at All In] and he’s a really good dude. I felt bad for him when [CM] Punk was going through his rant,” said Page. “But you know, Punk, that’s what he does. He says what’s on his mind and it’s really worked out for him a lot of times. This time, I kinda think he shot himself in the foot a little bit but he’ll get through it. He’ll be fine. I’m sure he’s making stupid money right now, and that’s kinda like F U money for that spot. But again, I don’t really know Punk that well. By his actions, he’s the kind of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve obviously, but what you see is what you get. He’s not gonna candy coat anything, although he probably could a little bit. He’s gonna be himself and he’s gonna be true to himself and I don’t think it got him fired or anything. I think he’ll get a suspension along with the rest of the boys and hopefully they’ll come back with a different attitude when it comes to like the company is paying everybody. I’ve always said that the stories in the back are way more intense then the stories outside. What the fans get to see and what really happens, there’s just so much. Rome with backstabbing has nothing on professional wrestling.”
