Former WWE talent Dutch Mantell is the latest name to react to the backstage brawl between The Young Bucks, CM Punk, Kenny Omega, and Ace Steel that took place following the AEW All Out 2022 pay-per-view event.
Speaking on his “Story Time with Dutch Mantell” podcast, the former Zeb Colter put the blame for the fight squarely on the hands of AEW President and CEO Tony Khan.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the likely cause of the outbursts: “Well, Tony worked himself into a shoot here, that’s what they did. He let that locker room dissent fester and fester, and fester. Then it finally come up into this big blister, and all it needed was a little pr*ck and it’s going to go everywhere. And that’s what happens.”
On reports that the Young Bucks ‘kicked the door down’: “As far as your executive vice presidents storming into a room beating a door down, that’s not possible. Those doors are storm doors, you can’t beat them down. They may kick the hell out of it…and I’m sure they would come in, they weren’t quiet like, ‘We need to talk to you.’ They probably came in ready to fight.”
