The Elite Decline Sit-Down Discussion With CM Punk – CM Punk and The Elite continue to face ongoing tensions. These tensions were highlighted once again when Punk delivered a direct and unscripted promo about “Hangman” Adam Page during the Collision event.
The root of the issue goes back to a backstage altercation at All Out 2022, where Punk clashed with Omega and The Young Bucks following critical remarks he made about various wrestlers, including The Elite, during a post-event press conference.
Upon his AEW return, Punk was kept away from those who held negative feelings towards him, working primarily with the Collision brand. Despite his ESPN interview and comeback promo, the underlying tensions between Punk and those in AEW who had reservations about him persisted, and reports indicate that the division has worsened.
It’s important to emphasize that Punk’s comments about Page were not scripted and reflect genuine friction. Recent reports suggest that significant backstage conflicts between the two sides remain, with no easy resolution in sight.
Fightful Select reports that, according to sources, CM Punk has expressed his desire to have a sit-down conversation with Hangman Page, the Young Bucks, and Kenny Omega. However, it seems that the individuals mentioned have declined this opportunity.
According to sources that Fightful has spoken to, Adam Page has actively avoided the situation and hasn’t shown interest in collaborating with Punk over the past year.
While those aligned with Page’s perspective insist that Punk’s promo wasn’t scripted, individuals working within the Collision brand have expressed their belief that Punk might be attempting to create a storyline involving himself.
Notably, individuals close to The Elite have indicated that incidents of this nature prompt the Executive Vice Presidents (EVPs) to distance themselves further from such situations.
