Take with a grain of salt of course but Punk has finally begun spilling some tea so here we go!:
On signing with WWE: CM Punk tells Ariel Helwani that he signed his WWE contract and walked right into Gorilla position before WWE Survivor Series. He says “I’d be surprised if you needed more than two hands” to count the people who knew he was doing it. He said Triple H, Nick Khan, his wife and lawyers knew. (note: not counting production).
(note from daprice82 on Reddit: “This seems like a good time to point out that the initial cause of Punk and Cabana’s falling out was widely reported to be because Colt went to visit friends backstage at WWE and Punk felt that was a betrayal.”)
CM Punk discussing his firing and Tony fearing for his life
“he said in the rest of the quote that AEW didn’t seem to care about selling tickets and making the business bigger, just put on great matches”
“He also let it slip that he thinks his friends in AEW are being punished for being his friend.”

Ariel Helwani: If Nick Khan wasn’t CEO of WWE right now would you be back? CM Punk: No, I don’t think so. Punk says that even before Nick Khan was officially with WWE, he was trying to get Punk back into WWE circa 2019.
CM Punk - Can’t answer the question if he hurt his triceps in match with Mox or Brawl Out because of NDA (Note: Oh THAT he can’t tell us because of NDA? Fucker basically spent the last hour telling us details down to the colour panties he was wearing when he got fired but he can’t tell us THIS?! Fuck outta here rofl.)
More as it comes…
Narcissist claims narcissistic shit and refuses to accept even partial responsibility for the consequences of his actions.
There we go Geek, saved you some time.
Pretty.
Fucking.
Much.
The shot at Hangman really illuminates that huh. Hanger helped build AEW, but Punk takes sole credit for a $1m house that was really only put in jeopardy by Punk’s ego taking such a beating from a single line in a promo.
it’s wild that it came out that both triple h and nick khan knew about the janel grant allegations but did nothing so they trotted out cm punk to bash his old company and take up the news cycle
Probably hired him for that reason lol
Thank you so much for putting in the work for compiling all this and for not putting each quote as its own post. Happened to glance on Reddit and immediately left cause of all the posts clogging the feed there.
Not really sure what he means by friends being punished.

You and me both (cept for me an hour later after megathreading em all here rofl)
Not really sure what he means by friends being punished.
Just notorious shit disturber phil brooks disturbing some shit.
He wants his friends to think they’re being punished. Its just shit-stirring.
“if you’re more worried about some goof giving you a 5 star match and the building is a quarter full we’re not in the same business”
In that case, I don’t think I’m a fan of the business Punk is in.
Seriously, I hate this attitude that the money is the most important thing. It’s such a fucking sellout attitude.
He spent 10 years talking about how WWE was the worst, then in his first promo back he said he was home. Not many things outside a big pile of money can make someone change their tune that much.
Not to mention at the end of the promo, he said off mic, “I’m not here to make friends, I’m here to make money.”
Or that promo for the Mox fight, where he told him, “You can be the heart and soul of AEW, I’m the dollars and cents.”
Fucking sell out.

Excuse me are we glossing over the fact that he admitted to assault?
Punk walking out of the interview: “I think I came off smelling of roses here, that’ll clear things up.”
Every other person on the face of the planet and a few in geosynchronous orbit: “👀 bruh”
It’s just some casual choking!
Yeah it’s not like it was ranked choking…
That’s where I excel!
Edit: And since that can be taken 3 different ways: yes.
So you excel at failing at the last moment while masturbating and strangling someone competitively?
I mean, I’ve worked in call centers…
maybe it’s just me but i’m actually terrified for aj lee given everything we’ve seen of punk these past few years.
I mean, the man is made of paper and matchsticks, he’s not been on the winning side of any shoot fight on record, I wouldn’t worry.
And tbqh I’ve seen pics of the shape AJ is in.
I won’t sit here and think Punk is at home committing domestic abuse or anything just because he’s a narcissistic asshole in the wrestling business, but if Punk put a hand on AJ (short of something lethal) I’m genuinely putting my money on her beating him like a red-headed stepchild. Beating him like a government mule.
Unironically, that’s the best reason to believe the man is not abusing her.
I am genuinely not convinced he could physically pull it off.
Plus, in fairness to the guy, he’s not psychotic, he’s a macho idiot obsessed with perceived disrespect who pretends to be a progressive anti-establisment icon.
I wish Lemmy had a option to pin comments.
Evergreen promo.
Love that he still won’t talk shit on Moxley. CM Punk can only punch down.
Mox would chew him up without even noticing
