A few notes from the latest WOR (Via Reddit):

  • Punk is out for around 8 months with a torn tricep/pec and will need surgery. Alvarez says it is wise to vacate the world title in that case, but stripping the trios champs feels like the investigation might take long. Dave says it shouldn't take more than a couple weeks.
  • Dave says Punk's media scrum rant was intentional and practiced beforehand. It was apparent as he targeted Nick Hausman straightaway when no question was asked, wanting to bury Colt Cabana.
  • Dave notes Punk talking about Hangman Adam Page not doing anything in the business is false. Says the PPVs headlined by Adam Page drew more than some of the ones Punk did. He adds Page has been a key guy in building the company.
  • Dave says the EVPs with Adam Page built the company up from absolutely nothing. He adds Tony Khan wanted both Punk and Jericho at the start but would have started even if he didn't get either, but he wouldn't have started without Omega and the Bucks, who were hot coming from New Japan and their movement.
  • Dave adds that Tony Khan should have stopped Punk when he started burying his guys. Says the Bucks have done way more for the business providing jobs than Punk ever did.
  • Dave says Punk threw the first punch and Ace Steel bit Omega, those two things are common in both sides of the story. He adds, Ace's job as a producer, especially with his wife in the room should have been to stop the fight, not escalate it.

Fightful Select is
reporting that discussions were in place between Fish and AEW about a contract extension. The report notes that while there was some mutual interest in making a new deal, the two sides failed to come to an agreement financially. Another interesting thing to note is that AEW executives felt the two sides ended things on good terms before Fish started commenting on the CM Punk situation. Fish is good friends with The Young Bucks and challenged Punk to a fight. Fish also claimed he couldn't get a hold of Tony Khan to get approval for a kickboxing match when he was under contract with AEW.

It's been reported that Fish had issues with Punk, but it didn't play a role in negotiations between Fish and AEW fizzling out. It's been said that Fish's issues with Punk stem from not liking his attitude after their match on the October 27, 2021 episode of "Dynamite." With Paul "Triple H" Levesque at the helm of WWE creative as the Chief Content Officer, some believed that he might try to bring Fish back to the company. The report mentions that as of now, there's no word on WWE reaching out to Fish and he isn't currently factored into creative plans.
