>>12412724There's actually a higher power than CM Punk when it comes to new recruits. In fact, I'd argue Punk's feelings about anyone are last in line of those whose opinions matter.
WWE isn't AEW. As much as aewtists wish they were they same, they're not. Tony is a pushover, a money mark, and easily manipulated by even the newest of carnies. WWE builds wrestlers, inspires them. Not even Punk can criticize the humbleness of Pillman Jr, going back to school to learn the right way.
