Thing is at the time punk thought that WWE fans were making fun of what AEW was doing because at this time, he thought AEW was a real business with a real chance at beating WWE, punk didn't know about the trampoline bullshit that occurred week to week.he didn't actually think AEW fans were retarded troons who believed everything Adam page or the bucks said as the undeniable truth, again that's punks fault for not watching AEW before he made the jump, cornett and other's were already torching AEW, for their bs booking for their lackluster finishes feuds bad booking etc,
Punk thought everything AEW fans are now, he thought WWE fans were like that tribalistic, and they probably are, but WWE and credit goes vince and Triple H, theu don't get in theor own ways, in other words they don't get in the way of good business,
You guys think if the bucks and Punk were in WWE vince or H wouldn't have booked that match up and made money you betcha they would, this nonsense that oh we need to be friends is bullshit, it took CM Punk 10 years to comeback to WWE, but much like the Bucks, CM was in his feelings about WWE screwing him not utilizing him as a star, and look at him now, hes the biggeststar
See what you all fail to remember is the reason Punk went to AEW instead of WWE, was because at this time, AEW stayed quiet on Luke harpers death and there wasn't any backstage drama or bullshit that would disgrace Luke harpers memory, Punk thought huh, these dudes are probably cool, and then they started with hangman pissing iff punk with that colt cabana promo, then he broke his leg came back won the title against mox, and these fucking losers were still using their "niche audience" to try amd make punk look like the bad guy for not booking colt cabana, brawl in happened NDAs were sign, then the jungle boy shit happened,
Aew is an absolute shit show bit it wasn't always the case, its the unprofessional bullshit behind the scenes shit that honestly has made AEW feel second rate.
