In a recent appearance at the “For The Love of Wrestling” convention, Johnny TV (John Morrison in WWE) spoke about CM Punk’s time in AEW.
He also stated why he feels that Punk started to “believe his own hype.” Punk had backstage incidents with The Elite and Jack Perry before departing AEW last year. He said,
“I have no problem with Punk We ended up riding together for two years –- me, him, and [Luke] Gallows. I just feel like he kind of lost it. I feel like he went too far in the direction of, ‘I want this for me. I’m the best.’ Believing his own hype, clearly like when he decided to be a UFC fighter, believed his own hype took over, like not thinking through. Aside from that, can’t say too much about him, other than we rode together, got along, he’s a divisive, polarizing figure. The people that don’t like him I’m friends with, and they have very solid points. I’ll leave it at that.“
