Top AEW star Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) shared his two cents on the controversial backstage fiasco between CM Punk and The Elite (Kenny Omega and Young Bucks) that took place following the All Out media scrum. The altercation happened after Punk's diatribe towards the trio in the post-pay-per-view presser, which led to suspensions. There was also a third-party investigation into the issue, but it halted after one side was allegedly unwilling to participate. It was initially reported that MJF was as one of the key witnesses. Speaking with Sam Roberts on the show, MJF said that the issue became "less interesting" as time passed because that's what wrestling is all about. He even mentioned Punk's quote about the "wheel will keep on turning" regardless of what happens. The Salt of the Earth then stressed that the personalities involved were "crazy talented" and wished them nothing but the best of luck. "I've said it before and I will say it again, everyone [Punk and The Elite] that was involved in this thing is crazy talented. Crazy talented. And whatever happens, whichever way this goes, I wish everyone involved the best of luck," MJF said.

When [I] go out there, I pop a huge number. We just killed it in the ratings. If people come, go, stay; people are going to step up to the plate. We have massive stars in our company.
