Eddie Kingston Fires Back At CM Punk Over AEW Comments

Join us at the Fifth Annual 80s Wrestling Con on Saturday, May 4th, at the Mennen Sports Arena in Morristown, NJ, featuring The Four Horsemen, Jake Roberts, and More! 80sWrestlingCon.com.

CM Punk appeared on The MMA Hour this week, where he gave some honest comments about his time in AEW, his issues with The Elite, Colt Cabana, Tony Khan, Jack Perry, and more. He shared his belief that Khan is a nice guy, but not a boss.

Punk’s comments

He also thinks AEW is not going anywhere as long as Khan is willing to fund it and AEW is not around to make money with the goal of putting on great matches rather than focus on drawing money. Punk also called Khan a clown after the incident with Perry at All In for not handling things. You can check out the full recap here.

While speaking to Adrian Hernandez, Eddie Kingston was asked about Punk’s recent comments about AEW not being a real business.

Kingston’s response

”And? He don’t work for us. I don’t give a f***. Honestly, he don't work for us so I don’t care, that’s it. I’m not even mad. If it sounds like I’m mad this just the way I talk but no I don’t care I don’t. I know other people do but I really don’t give a f*** because he doesn’t work for AEW, that’s the way I look at it. If he worked for AEW and did that, then I might feel a certain way for a little bit, and then I would just let it go and go well, that’s Phil being Phil. Can’t control him, that's his thing, he ain’t me and I ain’t him so I don’t care what he does.”
