AEW All Out 2022 Media Scrum and fallout Megathread *DYNAMITE SPOILERS*

I can’t think Cabana coming back was for the boys. Without being in the room and confirming it, I’m 99% sure it came from Jericho and TK went with it as a passive aggressive shot.

Tony has said it was solely his idea but I refuse to believe it wasn't jericho's either with jericho's shots at Punk right before it lol

Yeah I don’t believe him at all.

if Khan said Punk didn't ask him to bench Colt, then logically, it's not passive aggressive

 

[Smart Marx]

yeah he will likely be used when ROH gets TV I imagine , maybe pre-show on the pape. Only was on AEW TV because roh title is on tv atm, he's still lower card roh and that stuff never makes in on regular aew tv.

I imagine mostly the ROH equivalent to dark on YouTube.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Jericho and the back is a different story though and they have different reasons to be mad at Punk lol. they mad at the presser n fight not the og cabana stuff

 

[Smart Marx]

I think Colt Cabana being used was probably 33% doing it for the fans 33% because people in his ear wanted to put Colt back on TV and maybe 33% a shot at Punk which was probably Tony still upset at him but not about the rumor but just in general because of having to suspend him home in and the suspensions and what have you.

Low key Jericho mad cause Punk didn’t do his podcast almost 9 years ago

Indeed but I do truly believe there’s a group of people in the back they were very mad about the Colt stuff.

Just don’t know who and we probably never will know.

I could recklessly speculate lol

 

[Chris]

Well we know Trent is a safe bet lol

There's a few scenarios possible in my head. People close to Colt/Colt himself, people who were maybe unhappy with their own tv time though I rather not name names as it's very speculative. It could have also been a perception thing that just everyone saw and when asked said it felt like Colt was pushed out and there was no ill will in saying it if that makes sense? it's all so silly as an outsider, so much high school drama lol

I gotta say Meltzer has been really weird about especially because he went colt on tv = punk wanted him off tv. which is a leap and I've said from early that TK likely phased him out to avoid issues himself and then realized it caused some bad rumors. I think the main issue is that Punk thought it was the Elite feeding the sheets and it turns out it wasn't. Who it was, hard to say, but there was certainly people who felt that way. I think The Elite asking TK to not get rid of Colt got perceived as them also being anti-punk when it was probably more them asking a guy that's liked backstage by the boys not to be let go. Punk took that as taking Colt's side and took that as the Bucks fed the sheets. I think there was a lot of assumptions being made unfortunately prior to Punks actions and Tony does have some blame in there. That being said it's also the 3rd time he has said it so the people who don't believe him wont change their minds now. I still think Punk fucked up large and has been feeding some weird stories since to the sheets himself but I don't think he ever directly asked TK to fire Colt. Probably just didn't hide he didn't like the guy.

Ace all along

Ace all along

I'm not entirely joking. Isolate punk he keeps you around his only friend
