In a recent appearance on the “Inside the Ropes” podcast, AEW Continental Classic Champion Eddie Kingston discussed his feud with CM Punk and how the rivalry was based on their real-life animosity towards each other.
Punk defeated Kingston in a singles contest at AEW Full Gear 2021.
Kingston said, “That whole thing was reality, there’s your reality TV. I don’t like him and he don’t like me, that’s it. I don’t wish him good, I don’t wish him bad, I don’t give a f**k about the guy and that’s it. Even when he was part of our locker room, I didn’t give a f**k about him unless I had to fight him, just like he doesn’t care about me. I’m not the hard a** here, he doesn’t give two s**ts about me either, and that’s it.”
Punk was fired from AEW last year following a backstage altercation with Jack Perry at AEW All In 2023.
