The backstage drama with CM Punk in All Elite Wrestling has been the talk of the wrestling world for the past week, with his future in the company currently up in the air.
In case you are living under a Dwayne Johnson, CM Punk went on a rant against Adam Page, Colt Cabana and the EVPs of AEW in post All Out media scrum, leading to a backstage fight between Punk, Ace Steel and the Elite.
It has since been reported that everyone involved in the backstage altercation has been suspended from the company, with Punk and Steel potentially set to leave the company.
Eddie Kingston has been rather vocal of his dislike of Punk, with him taking to Twitter to call him a ‘c**t’ following the now infamous promo on Dynamite where he mentioned Kingston.
Eddie appeared on Busted Open Radio prior to the All Out show, where he spoke about CM Punk, being asked about his tweet and Punk’s comments about him in the promo.
Kingston responded:
“That’s Phil’s MO, let’s just call it like it is. That’s Punk’s MO. My man has a Punk shirt there, God bless you, I’m happy you’re a fan of his. I’m not. He’s a bitch, but God bless. You can like a bitch, I don’t. I’m joking, it’s all good [seemingly to the fan]. I understand he’s a Chicago guy, I get it. Doesn’t mean I want to wrestle him. Punk’s not a good dude, I can’t care what he says. Of course he’s going to talk trash when I’m not there. Of course he’s going to talk trash when the boss is in the way. I just think he likes me and he can’t get over it. Maybe Phillip wants to be like me. Maybe Phillip wants to be loved like me, I don’t know.”
Kingston continued on, naming the other stars in AEW that he doesn’t like, noting that it ‘is not a work’.
He said:
“People think a lot of the stuff that I do is a work, or whatever they want to call it, because everybody likes using insider terms and be in the know. I’ll give it to you plain and simple. I don’t like (Chris) Jericho, I don’t like Bryan (Danielson), I don’t like Claudio (Castagnoli), I don’t like Punk. Those are the people I don’t like in this company. There is nothing you can say or do or tell me that makes them different to me. I know who they are,”
Kingston was then asked about why he doesn’t like those wrestlers, to which he responded:
“I’m gonna keep that to myself because people don’t need to know inside baseball. The curtain doesn’t have to be pushed back all the time.”
Kingston was also recently involved in backstage drama, when he was suspended for two weeks after an altercation with Sammy Guevara.
