>>15818506That was his characterization, at least.
Funny how, "AEW being a draw" coincided with, "making Punk the top guy in perpetuity."
He wanted to be WCW/TNA Hogan and a large segment of the locker room didn't want that.
I don't think he's a bad guy, just somewhat self-serving. It's pure headcanon, but part of me suspects he and Jack Perry staged their little feud to get Jack over and, if true, I think that little worked shoot would have been Punk's idea all the way.
