Rob Van Dam has given some advice to AEW in regard to what the company needs to do following CM Punk’s termination from Tony Khan’s promotion earlier this month.
Of course, Punk was fired from All Elite Wrestling following an altercation with Jack Perry at the AEW All In 2023 pay-per-view event at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
Speaking on a recent edition of his “1 Of A Kind” podcast, The Whole F’n Show revealed what the company should do now that Punk is gone, the possibility of Punk fans tuning out from AEW, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On what AEW should do now that Punk is gone: “Regain balance. If you lost a heavyweight and the ship’s rocking too far in one direction, just put some focus on some other guys. WWE’s always been criticized for being like a one-guy company — it was [John] Cena, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, and Steve Austin. But, I’m like that, too, socially … I’m a ‘put all your eggs in one basket’ kind of guy when it comes to people that are real close to me, and if it fails, it hurts. But, hey, it’s just like getting your head cut off [laughs].”
On the possibility of Punk fans tuning out from AEW: “I don’t know if his fans are so loyal that they won’t support the thing without him. Otherwise, yeah, just regain composure, put your fists back up, get ready for the next blow — because it’s coming.”
