During his podcast, former WCW star Konnan provided new âinside knowledgeâ about what happened between CM Punk and The Elite backstage following the All Out 2022 pay-per-view.Â
âSo this all started because (Hangman) Page felt that Punk got (Colt) Cabana fired. Punk denied it. I already told you my conversation with Cabana, so I believe Cabana. Tony denied it, but a lot of the boys were bitter that he did that. Thatâs what started everything between them. Then I guess Page went to something in Chicago or some Comic Con. You know theyâre all like comic nerds and sh*t. They asked him, âWho does he (Page) go to advice for?â He said that he doesnât really listen to a lot of people. Now Punk hasnât been in the business for seven years, so he doesnât know like Page and The Young Bucks. He doesnât know about them. I was told that he came back and he was giving everybody advice, but there were some people that were like, âI think Punk doesnât know that weâre stars and made it on our ownâ, and some people werenât listening to him and that rubbed him the wrong way. The day that they did that thing on TV, Tony (Khan) had no clue what he was going to say, and once he started talking, Tony didnât know what to do. He was like most of us, like, what the f*ck is going on? So he got ambushed.â
âI didnât know this until today, but remember when (Chris) Jericho went to the table (at the media scrum). He was supposed to show up with The Young Bucks. He whispered into Tonyâs ear what just happened much like the guy who told George Bush 911 was going down, and like Bush, Tony did nothing. They commended Chris, who obviously is a shark in the fu**ing dressing room and knows his way around, heâs learned from the best, for his professionalism and not adding to the fire. From what I understand, The Young Bucks never saw the interview. Somebody told them about it. When they told them about it, they went running to the dressing room with these cops. (Konnan was asked if they were cops or the AEW security and Konnan said whichever one and he wasnât sure as he didnât ask). They busted in there and Punk thought he was going to get attacked so he punched one of The Young Bucks. When he punched one of The Young Bucks, obviously his brother got involved and his (Punkâs) trainer, Ace Steel, got on his (The Young Bucksâ) brother and then Omega cross-faced him. When he cross-faced him, this guy bit him. I guess there was a fu**ing dog in there, Punkâs dog. He was in there and Omega was trying to pick up the dog. Heâs seeing his friend getting beat up. They initially were only going to come in and say, âHey, what the f*ckâ, but Punk thought they were going to get attacked, so he defended himself. Thatâs the story, and the rumor is heâs signing with WWE. That would be massive. If he has a year left, well, theyâll wait a year I guess. One thing is he doesnât have to wrestle. Heâs a legend now. He just shows up. What he did is legendary. Very few guys have done what he did. Thatâs like sh*t I did in Mexico. Heâs a legend.âÂ
