Got to take control of the situation - WWE veteran blames Tony Khan for backstage chaos following CM Punk s comments in the media scrum Exclusive

By Soumik Datta Modified 10 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share CM Punk and The Elite engaged in a backstage brawl after All Out In the aftermath of CM Punk's All Out media scrum comments, a backstage brawl involving him, Ace Steel, and The Elite reportedly broke out. Former WWE head writer Vince Russo has now given his take on the controversial incident. Speaking on the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing With Russo, Russo highlighted the lack of leadership during the chaos that erupted backstage following CM Punk's fiery comments. According to Russo, Tony Khan should've had someone from his PR team take charge of the media scrum. This move could've allowed the AEW President to keep things under control. "Okay listen, let's back up to the very beginning. If Tony Khan is at the scrum with these dudes, there's got to be a PR guy or somebody, bringing the talent in. Okay, if I'm Tony Khan, CM Punk's going into business for himself, first thing I'm doing without a shadow of a doubt is I'm shutting this down. But if I'm not shutting this down, if I don't have the (...) you know what to shut this down, I'm calling over the PR guy, 'Bro, you mind taking over here for me?'" said Russo. The veteran further writer detailed the ideal approach to the incident, in his opinion: "Now I go in the back, now I'm there, now I see what's brewing, now I get my team in place... You got to take control of the situation. Bro, if you don't take control of the situation this is what's gonna happen. You got to take control of the situation," added Russo.
