AEW Dark performer Tamilian Vineesh has lashed out at former World Champion CM Punk, accusing him of being a racist.
Punk, a two-time AEW World Champion, was removed from programming following the AEW All Out 2022 media scrum and backstage fight.
Speaking on a livestream, Vineesh commented on Punk and didn’t hold back.
”CM Punk is one of the biggest f**** racist pieces of s*** I’ve ever met in my life. He’s one of the worst guys I’ve ever met from AEW. I did have an experience with CM Punk.
“I believe he acted the way he acted maybe because of the color of my skin, maybe the nationality, the heritage I represent… I have experienced discrimination in AEW, absolutely. 100%.”

I mean, yeah, there's some worse people out there. @PlatinumMax. @RealBillyGunn's sons. Those guys were entitled ones I can say." pic.twitter.com/nOTm1lA1i5

Vineesh wrestled twice for AEW, appearing on the May 12, 2021 Dark, losing a tag-team match.
Vineesh returned for the June 6, 2021 episode of AEW Dark: Elevation, where he and Baron Black lost to The Acclaimed.
Neither CM Punk nor AEW have not responded publicly to these accusations at this time.
