Days after Dax Harwood of FTR came to the defense of CM Punk and called out the wrestler who has spoken about the tension behind the scenes in AEW, Eddie Kingston has weighed in on this topic.
As previously reported, the issues between the two sides have not improved following Punk’s interview with ESPN and his Collision promo, as the divisiveness has become worse over the last week following Punk’s return.
One top star in the promotion noted they’re fearful of the ticking time bomb regarding the issues leading to another incident. Harwood knocked this person and the report.
While speaking with The New York Post to promote AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door, Kingston was asked about his take on how CM Punk handled his comeback.
“He did it his way and that’s the way wanted to do it. I expected it. I knew it was happening, knowing Punk and what he thought was right for him. That’s it. I see the reports. I see the clickbait on YouTube. But the locker room is not divided, not the people I hang out with. Punk’s gonna do what Punk does and if whatever Punk does helps this company, no one can say anything.”
Kingston was asked whether there had been a feeling in the locker room that the things Punk said had bothered the large portion of the roster.
“Not me, man. Not my crew of people I hang out with. Maybe there’s that one percent that are bothered but the people I chill with, they’re good. They don’t care.”
