Solomonster Reacts To CM Punk Being Voted Off All Elite Island 

Kind of a sad ending to what was suppose to be his redemption story. Just hearing about Punk’s camp and his history, you can get an idea of his mindset. He needs to be the “victim”. His family problems, his MRSA, Hangman actually shooting on him, being threaten by the Bucks. You can see there some consistency. And I hoped that this run we had already gone over that and obviously it’s not true. I hope one day he can get over that mentality.

Punk ended up been his own worst enemy

VKM would be licking his chops at the opportunity to put out a Self Destruction of CM Punk network special if he were still around

@Solomonster Sounds Off The keyword you said in that bit about the CM Punk/Page promo is communication, which is a lost art in not only pro wrestling but in real life in general. Whether it's the workplace, with family, etc etc communication is the key. At most jobs I've worked, I've always had a problem with people communicating back & forth with me on things whether it was in regards with what had to be done or issues with me, however there were times though with some of my old co-workers who took things too far with me to the point it had to come to blows, but not CM Punk/ "Elite" level far

The reason why promotors can't work with punk is the same as the reason why directors can't work with Edward Norton

its sad this relationship couldnt have worked better, as a punk fan it feels like a lot of stuff was still left to do with him. To think this all started over of all people Colt cobana is mind blowing

I'm not saying Punk can't go back to WWE, I'm saying it would be awkward as hell, and at least for right now, completely unnecessary for them. They don't need him. Especially if he's still hurt, and definitely not in his current headspace. Give it a year. And if they still have the belts on Roman by then, sure, sign Punk. By that point it won't be the worst mistake they've made.

“Out am I???” -Norman Osborn voice

Why in the living hell does anybody but Tony Khan have ANY say in this matter?

I didn't realize how legendary Punk was until Wrestlemania 37, the first show with fans in a year, and during the rain delay, the first thing you hear in the broadcast is CM Punk chants. Only Ric Flair in WCW was that level of over.

Jericho knows what he's doing. Look at MJF teasing a face turn. I guarantee Jericho has something to do with that so he can be the top heel and sabotage MJF.

Snowflakes The Elite got what they wanted getting rid of CM Punk. Now they can be the top guys in AEW and can clown around with their mud show wrestling. I can't wait for the "CM Punk" chants whenever The Elite appear in AEW.

This is a prime example of how you can build a legacy, then make one fatal mistake and a legacy and career is destroyed. Well so much for the CM Punk era.

I wonder how much things would have been different if he didn't injure himself by diving into the crowd like a moron. I'm sure some drama would have still happened but I don't see it boiling over the way that it did. He must have been seething over Hangman and the Elite for months and by the time he finally got healthy, all that rage and frustration just exploded like a volcano. Maybe if he was healthy and working every show, he could have been backstage and worked it out with those guys and squashed the beef. But that didn't happen and look where we are now.

You noticed that all these stories are coming from the elites camp and it’s funny how Ace Steel’s wife who was actually in the room wasn’t interviewed or asked questions in reference to this incident.

Imagine believing the Meltzer side of things knowing who leaks info to him. 😂

I've been a CM Punk fan since his feud with Raven in ROH circa 2003. He had my favourite match ever. I'm also a fan of The Elite. This situation just sucks.

They should have just fired the Elite and kept Punk 🤷

I think when Punk said “Come find me in the back” he really meant “If anyone wants to fight let’s fight”. I can’t imagine him saying that and thinking after all the stuff he just that someone wouldn’t come at him sideways for it. Career suicide? It’s hard to believe someone can be dumb enough to believe that they will get away with everything he said without consequences- or maybe he is that dumb and just fumbled his career. Although I doubt WWE wouldn’t scoop him up. Let’s be real, T.K is kind of a spineless boss. HHH could handle Punk and he would be smart enough to know before bringing him in if he can handle him or not.

If Larry got hurt two words....JOHN WICK he would have every right

Unfortunate how you fell for this piss poor one sided argument coming from Dave Meltzer ironically from and involving girlscouts who named a signature move after him. I respected you for how you told the truth on all the dark sides of the ring, as well as speaking out about injustice among wrestlers and politic but you’ve earned an unsubscribe from me Just because something is not mentioned immediately does not mean it can’t be true, Meltzer can be about as trusted as Paul Heyman when it comes to The Elite when he’s basically alienated everyone he was friends with from the 80’s,90’s, and 2000’s to side with these very same guys. The ONLY person in that room who could have been unbiased was MJF and you chose which side to jump on despite a court investigation never happening. Regardless of if the dog story is true or not, you’re 3 EVP’s of a company alongside 2 managers and a friend going into a locker room to confront a hostile, pissed off, and injured guy 6v1 and you get away with it because of stupid newsletters, dumb RU-vidrs, and self absorbed 50 year old men who only care about themselves trying to protect the people they like and that’s perfectly fine I hope when this all boils over and the OTHER 90% of that roster who had dozens of story’s about Punk helping and guiding young talent comes out so this bullshit narrative y’all keep pushing about him being a cancer gets thrown in the trash. He called out 4 immature ass kids who get hated on by Cornette so they hate on EVERYBODY Cornette likes and ironically that’s the same shit Jericho does. He didn’t call out the locker room and say they were bums, he said those 3 guys who call themselves EVPS are fucking trash which is what they’ve been. I would think people like you would be smarter than this, but I’ve been wrong before and it just happened. Very unfortunate

Just because Adam page isn’t “known” for behaving a certain way doesn’t discredit punk’s experience with him. Because punk is the most vocal it’s easy for people to assume he’s the villain.

@7:57 Watch Out For That Falling Tree Bark Jason! LOL

I'm calling it right now: AEW shows will now be hijacked to some extent by CM Punk chants every time the Elite or Chris Jericho is in the ring. Or at least whenever something sucks. Punk has now somehow become a martyr in two different promotions.

The only official story that we’ve gotten has come from the Dave Meltzer camp and we know for a fact that they are intimately involved with the young bucks and Kenny omega. I’d like to find out more about what actually happened.

I always thought Hangman's promo was just a re-hash of Eddie Kingston's, so it seemed pretty innocuous at the time.

I think The Green Goblin from the mid-2002 'Spider-Man' movie said it, best: "Out, am I?!...".

Regardless of how Punk is, Tony doesn’t need to be taking advice from people on his active roster. The politics are just to blame as Punk’s attitude.

No matter what, the EVPs keeping their executive roles isn’t helping AEW. All these narratives about “Punk cancer now gone” isn’t going to change the fact that ratings and PPV buys aren’t improving, and you think the vision of the EVPs are going to improve it all?

Lmao 😂 someone close to the elite ie the elite that deadpan delivery had me going Jason is a straight shooter

Punk seeing Nick Hauseman "get over here you little not-friends-with-Colt-Cabana Rascal!"

Maybe Punk's camp didn't leak anything because he was told not to. While Elite's camp did nothing but leak (further proving Punk's point)

I wish we had video of that melee. We need wrestlers court live streamed lol

WWE doesn't need Punk, Punk doesn't need WWE. Leave well enough alone, let all sides move on - the comeback story is complete, the fans got what they wanted. Give it a few years, when all of this dies down, give him a Hall of Fame nod (if both sides are interested), and let it be. Punk has made his mark on the industry - Top 10 on the mic, well above average in the ring, hardly the first guy to have an inflated ego, certainly won't be the last. There's plenty in wrestling to talk about, besides this crap.

You might be right that he had bigger leash but this proves that he went too far for any star no matter how big

Punk may be a draw but he ain't worth dealing with if this is how he is and you know he ain't willing to change, if wwe wasn't the way they are when punk was there something like this would happened back then, it was only a matter of time. If I'm triple h I wouldn't even look in punks direction

Wrestlers court would’ve done wonders for this situation but oh wait many of you bashed that because it was a “toxic environment”

And than CM Punk goes back to the Island of relevancy lol I couldn't resist that won't happen I'm taking a wild Guess IDK missed opportunity to make this into a storyline and The Young bucks and Kenny Omega return to make AEW even more unbearable especially with Chris Jericho's attempt at comedy.

CM Punk was not himself at that media scrum. He wasn't feeling very "ucey." If he can find his inner "ucey," then Tiny Khan might forgive him as is the entire AEW locker room.

sadly for Punk, some guy that works in the WWE office was once in the same room as Colt Cabana

This year has been crazy

I would love to have seen the outcome if CM Punk was in WCW trying to attack Bill Watts or Ole Anderson instead of the Young Bucks today with AEW.

I somewhat agree with what The Solomonster said around 1:14-1:20. C.M. Punk was gone from pro wrestling for 7½ years & it took a little more than 1 for him to possibly jeopardize his tenure in AEW. 4 days after the Pay-Per-View, Dave Meltzer reported on 9/8/2022 that C.M. Punk tore a muscle in his arm during his match at 'AEW All Out 2022' & would require major surgery.; It's expected the injury will keep him out of the ring for up to 8 months, I believe & with his future with AEW regardless of the injury still being unclear, that has to be a factor, as well. At the same token, if C.M. Punk still has a rematch clause in his AEW contract for the AEW championship, what do you do as far as that goes if you're AEW & how do you put him in the equation/figurative AEW championship picture?...

CM Punk's worst enemy is Phillip Jack Brooks.

It's a shame none of these guys can put thier egos aside enough to be greedy And make money off of this. All this tells me is none of these people truly care about aew because if they did. They'd act like grown men and make this work After it happened I would have given everyone one week to cool off. Then on the next week give the elite the last 20 minutes of dynamite to tell thier side. Then the week after give punk the same thing . I'd make punk ftrs manager. Have the bucks beat the acclaimed. Ftr beats the bucks at revolution. Ftr and punk vs the elite for the 6 man titles at DON 2023, Punk vs Kenny at all out 2023 But as I said none of these guys can put thier fragile egos aside to do business.

I love how they never interviewed Ace Steel's wife. Tell me this was actually about the truth.

Actions have consequences. This is something that Punk has had a difficult time grasping throughout the years and ironically his biggest supporters have a hard time understanding this as well. And Punk paid the bigger price out of everyone involved in this debacle. Hope it was worth it because he showed his true colors in that media scrum. He validated every negative story we heard about him for so many years in less than 30 minutes! And now he's leaving professional wrestling in absolute disgrace (AGAIN).

I love how many Aew fans before Aew existed bashed WWE and their wrestlers for “politics” They thought their idea of a company would never have “politics” guess what Aew fangirls. This is the wrestling business.

I'm not going to sit here and blame CM punk for the whole entire thing when it's Tony Khan that's running aew so if anybody's to blame it's Tony Khan's leadership they need to be questioned because this is when the first fight that happened

But who will give Punk muffins now?

Tony needs to grow a pair and stop things before they blow up

The story about the dog is likely because Punk knew he had to have teeth removed. Made up this scenario so AEW has to pay for it. Guarantee it.

There is no coming back from this. CM Punk really blew it for good. And I can't help but feel irritated at him for wasting all that good will he built up. He really is his own worst enemy.

Man you can’t take Meltzer’s word on this, we all know he’s biased

Punk can blame himself for this whole thing.

The Solomonster: "0:22-0:29.". Me: "That aged...". It is now mid-2023 & C.M. Punk is back. To make matters even better, it looks to me like "The Straight-Edge Extremist"/"The Second City Saint"/"The Second City Savior"/"The Best In The World"/"The Voice Of The Voiceless" is ready to kick some butt, take some names & put the AEW roster on notice.

I don't think you can really cast doubt because no one said anything about Punks Dog until much later, and pretty much everyone not in Punks camp wasn't speaking, and everyone who wasn't seems to already be on the Elites side. That said, I don't know if I necessarily believe it happened either. And while I'm not surprised CM Punk gone, and I likely would have made the same choice, but the Elite coming back I think was a terrible idea. They were just as much part of this problem as anyone else in this.

All this over Colt Cabana who happen to say nothing. All this drama can handle backstge quite. Not on screen

Hope Larry recovered

It’s pretty simple find the vet

That thumbnail is killing me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 AMAZING

It's sad how it's looking like Tony chose the goofs who drive away 200k viewers every week instead of the biggest star who gave them their biggest gates, highest ratings, most bought ppvs, the most merch sales and some of the best matches in the company

Wow! Long term sound off listener but this was terribly one sided and clearly made up your mind this was all punks fault! First time I wished there was a cohost to the show to debate with

What is wrong with everyone dragging punk? Ppl came into punk’s lockeroom. Punk didn’t go to them. Words are words and it should have been kept there. No work place on earth would be ok with vice presidents barging into an employee’s locker room in a threatening manner and they keep their jobs. How this ended with elite keeping their jobs is beyond normal

Once is an occurrence. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a trend. What number is Punk at right now being a discontent? Great talent, but a very "unique" personality.

Can't wait for the Dark Side of the Ring episode about all this

CM Punk has become the Kanye west of pro wrestling ironically enough they both from Chicago both self sabotage themselves

As a CM Punk fan but I'm mad at Tony or the Elite I'm mad at Punk because he made it public. They're all at fault but made it public. How can any other CM Punk fan not the most mad at Punk at this point. I feel Punk let us down.

Even as a fan of the Elite i hope they don´t put the trios titles right back on them. Just rubs me the wrong way. Would rather see then starting the feud with Adam Cole which is still unresolved between Cole and Kenny. Sure Bobby Fish is no longer with AEW so they can´t do Undisputed Era vs. Elite but they just got the Kingdom which Adam Cole was also a part of in ROH (they even used the Adam Cole Kingdom Era music on Rampage for Taven which is sad because i like the Taven Era music more). The titles don´t need to be in that feud tbh. Let other teams chase them. As for Punk: How many version do we have now of his side of the story? The Elite has been pretty consistent over the months how the events unfolded from their perspective. The kicking the door in apparently didn´t happen, Bucks and Kenny had one of AEWs legal team with them and in another version of Punks story Larry was held by Ace Steels which when the Elite "stormed" in. I would be more understanding of Punk if the story about Larry getting hurt was true however i just don´t believe this part. Punk left the media scrum enraged likely already in "fight for survival" mode and was probably expecting someone to show up. Seems to me he felt threatend not because he actually was but rather because he put himself in this mindset.

21:10 love the Zodiac reference

Wait??! I thought Aew wouldn’t have any drama? I thought they didn’t run a sloppy shop?

The relief the locker room felt by telling Punk he needs to hit the bricks is the same relief fans feel when a Wheeler Yuta promo segment ends

Shit. McMahon worked with Hogan again AFTER Hogan testified against him in the steriod trial. If McMahon can do that, and even put it into a WWE (WWF at the time) storyline, then HHH and PUNK can easily work out their differences.

Well now Punk is All Out of options

Although I disagree with some of your opinions on the matter, as a rational adult I can understand. Here's my thought, when punk had his pipebomb in 2011 his frustrations were felt by the fans, and it meant success for WWE. However, with AEW being so new and so loved at the time, nobody was ready for that, and that same attitude that made him successful, has now backfired on him. I understand why he did what he did, he most likely thought it would lead to success, and it's just not the case.

All this is simply a rash of generations. We are seeing all this happening all over careers.

That is a good point, twice Vince McMahon brought back Ultimate Warrior, and after SummerSlam 1991, Vince wasn't pleased with Warrior, but brought him back because he felt it would boost business for his company. Triple H may be looking at Punk as a way to boost business for the WWE, so might put his own personal feelings for Punk aside to bring him back.

The elite should at least have there EVP roles taken away

Oh Punk... Why did you have to ruin your legacy man? What a pity.

Both sides are were in the wrong...And all we getting is like Democrats and Republicans...Both sides want to be in the right...never the wrong.

I can only imagine what it must've felt like to be told "You're both a detriment to this company & a cancer!..." by somebody...

Punk gone but let the Elite (who were also in the wrong themselves) back into the fold, that’s a bad narrative to have.

Truthfully this was bad but if I’m Tony khan I’m not letting punk go Vince never let Shawn go when he was creating back stage issues.

People were saying Tony should have done something about Punk. Now that he did, the same people are constantly shitting on it. Okay, what would you guys would have done?

At least Larry's O.K., right?... Poor guy.

The way Jason just shoves all the blame on CM Punk and act like the Elite are just innocent angels in this is really distasteful. They get to drag his name thru the mud. Create malicious lies and rumors to the media and they get off basically scott free while everybody paints CM Punk as the bad guy

Maybe Jay Lethal will get Utilised better in AEW Now that CM Punk is Gone ….. 👀

TK gave this man EVERYTHING he would want. Money, marquee matches, skipped the line to the world title, leniency (when he went off on hangman on dynamite) and this dude is still miserable. Glad he's gone

I really wish Cody didn't sign an NDA would love to know about why he left AEW

CM Punk will now walk down the Dock of Shame.

I've never heard anything good about CM Punk in my whole life, it makes so much sense that his co-workers cannot stand him.

And he wasn’t worth any of the money that they gave him or going to give him. He’s just not worth it to me! He didn’t do that much as far as bringing more people in to watch it MJF is the future Tony’s a billionaire, paying out his contract won’t be shit, but he needs to get back in gear and quit looking like a fan boy

Solomonster is Wrestlevotes: CONFIRMED.

I THINK HHH WOULD WANNA WORK WITH WHOEVER BRINGING IN THE MOST MONEY AND THATS CLEARLY PUNK LOL

I do not think it is any coincidence that all parties involved are where they currently are. Let's hope AEW doesn't end up on A.M. radio with world champ jungle boy.

I think it’s highly possible for the bucks to kick the door down with head of legal. Keep in mind wrestling employees are the real bosses in that locker room NOT HEAD OF LEGAL nor Tony khan. wrestlers are making the decision to get rid of punk here from the sound of it. Group vote? Lol wtf this is Tony’s decision to make. Wrestlers just telling Tony khan what to do there an a majority of the Locker room prob just feels threatened punks there. Regardless if you hate punk or not the fact that he’s the only one being let go here is bullshit

It is very hard to defend Punk here and it shocks me that his fanbase takes his side when, from every action taken by Punk in this matter, was just wrong. He continued to get injured after defeating two of AEW's top guys for the title, and after winning his most recent one, he essentially buried the company he works for. The very company that helped bring him back into the fold, and with it, his love for prowrestling. It even seems as if he's lying out of his teeth in order to bury or hurt the Elite in any way possible.

I love you and I'm a big fan but this is so one sided and kind of unfair

It’s better the elite stay with aew. The company needs more big names now. Glad to hear the house of black is returning

Its going to be interesting for sure when all these cobtracts expire. If i am wwe though tje mvp of that rostervwhich was punk, is MJF. He'd be right at the top in wwe.
