It was reported over the past several days that there is a lot of backstage tension in AEW regarding CM Punk and other top talents who work for the promotion.
As you’d expect, Booker T took to his “Hall of Fame” podcast and discussed the situation. The WWE Hall of Famer says he feels like AEW is “off track” these days and says the company needs to solve the issue quickly.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the reports of Punk having issues backstage in AEW: “Everything that we’re hearing in the news right now and on social media, I’m not surprised. Now we see that this isn’t about wrestling … it’s about [Punk] being in the right situation … Certain guys coming in [receiving] certain treatment, and certain guys that have been there [receiving] certain treatment, that’s where the rift is gonna come in, just like it did in WCW.”
On AEW needing to solve the situation quickly: “There’s definitely gonna have to be some intervention … because right now, I feel like AEW is off track. I think they’re like a politician and they’re off-message right now … There are so many antics going on right now with AEW.”
