CM Punk in AEW is the only thing keeping them afloat - Twitter explodes following comparisons between former world champion and WWE Hall of Famer

By Sam Palmer Modified 14 Sep 2022 Follow Us 1 Comment Share Twitter has had their say on another comparison to do with CM Punk The wrestling world is still talking about CM Punk's outburst at the AEW All Out post-show media scrum, and Twitter has gone off on a tangent, comparing the Straight Edge Superstar to a WWE Hall of Famer. Punk hasn't been seen or heard from since his backstage altercation with The Elite. The physical confrontation came on the heels of the former AEW World Champion verbally thrashing Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, Hangman Page and Colt Cabana in front of the media. While there has been no official confirmation of what has happened to CM Punk, the fact that a number of other parties involved in the backstage melee have been suspended for an undisclosed amount of time gives an indication of what might be going on behind the scenes. While Punk's outburst may seem alien to some modern day wrestling fans, the older generation of fans have taken to Twitter to compare Punk's AEW run to that of the Ultimate Warrior in WCW in 1998.

However, some fans think the comparison is a bit of a stretch. Many have pointed out that Punk's run with AEW was mostly well-received until he captured the world title from Hangman Page at Double or Nothing. Robert DeFelice@dudefeliceBig fan of RGT. Not a fan of how so many people are writing off this CM Punk run as though nothing happened. It was a good run up until Double or Nothing. It’s not as dreadful as The Ultimate Warrior in 96 or 98.

There isn’t really a return to compare this to. twitter.com/rgt_85/status/…RGT 85@RGT_85Cm Punk in AEW is the modern Ultimate Warrior in WCW but yall aren't ready for that conversation.21Cm Punk in AEW is the modern Ultimate Warrior in WCW but yall aren't ready for that conversation.Big fan of RGT.

It was pretty good, but ended (seemingly) on a massively sour note that has underdone pretty much everything. twitter.com/WilliamRBR/sta…Will Washington @WilliamRBRY'all have to stop the cap man. A big part of the sadness from fans around where Punk's comeback run has ended up is how much of it was legitimately great.

I lived through Warrior in WCW. He wrestled exactly three matches there, one of which was the legit worst match of all time twitter.com/RGT_85/status/…1274Y'all have to stop the cap man.

Ryan Victory@CatchRyanFeverNow we’re comparing The Ultimate Warrior’s WCW run to CM Punk’s AEW run. Uh what? I’ll take Warrior any day over Punk, but no way should those runs be compared. Punk had a great run on the mic and in the ring. Warrior’s WCW run was a cup of coffee that got cold very quickly.Now we’re comparing The Ultimate Warrior’s WCW run to CM Punk’s AEW run. Uh what?
