Cost me money. Tony probably in tears if he is firing old punk. He has looked like a fanboy when he is with punk in these media scrums, looking at him in awe. Hope he kept that can from the scrum to remember Punk by Tony was hilarious the entire punk rant, his reactions were priceless. Anybody who for some reason has only enjoyed the audio has to watch the video.

Peter Rosenberg is reporting that Punk has also been fired along with Ace Steel. After the Kingston/Guevara interaction Tony said he wouldn't tolerate company violence and would fire anyone involved. I don't think he was expecting his roster to test him so soon.
If true then he has to fire all of them Punk/Omega/Bucks/Steel would be a hell of a blow but would also make one hell of a statement to the locker room that no more BS will be had,even being a massive blow if all of those guys get whacked they still have a load roster with Jericho,Moxley,Danielson,Christian,MJF,Wardlow,Darby,Jungle Boy,Lucha Bros,Hook...ect

To be honest, point blame at punk, point at the elite, the blame ultimately lies on Tony.
Dude needs to get the inmates under control and stop letting them run the asylum. It’s 2022. Time to be a boss and not best friends.

Do you fire all or just the ones who make it physical? People should be able to defend themselves without getting fired, whoever that was in this case. (Most suggest Punk swung first but it's not unanimous)

I took out the inmates line just cuz I'm tired of the metaphor lol. But Tony has repeatedly shown an inability to accept responsibility for mistakes, with aew and with Fulham. Punk screwed up big time, and firing him is pretty justified. But he screwed up because Tony wasn't doing his own job properly. If TK did his job better and addressed these things instead of just fantasizing about the dream matches it could create, this doesn't happen

New report that is floating around is that all parties have been suspended involved including Pat Buck, until it’s been figured out what to do with everyone.

I still think it's a work, but if it isn't ... I wouldn't put it past Punk to have done this on purpose. He got THE win IN Chicago. That's all he wanted. Then in classic George Costanza style ... he goes and gets himself fired lol. I still don't think what he did is fire worthy. The media scrum was online, not on mainstream TV. Players on sports teams get in fights all the time. They get suspended or fined. Not lose their jobs. He didn't murder an infant for crying out loud. He said unsavory things and then got in a fight. Not a big deal IMHO.
Dynamite is going to have crazy opening ratings tomorrow.

We better get that RSC Exclusive Punk. As a fan of Punk it's terrible for all of this to happen. But, I believe it's in the best interest of AEW to just move on. Clearly they've got more bad than good out of him at this point. If Punk isn't going to move on from these issues, then this wouldn't be the last time something happens. You can't risk this becoming the beginning of "the demise of AEW" story. The Cabana podcast with Punk to cover all of this is going to be crazy. That's the real work here.
