Eddie Kingston slams CM Punk
It is no secret Kington has animosity towards Punk. He recently joined “Pro Wrestling Illustrated Presents” podcast and named some AEW stars he is not a fan of, specially CM Punk.
“I don’t hate on anybody who makes it and makes money,” Kingston said. “That doesn’t bother me. It’s who they are as people that bothers me. I don’t care if people do better than me with money and all that stuff. I will never hate on that because this is a business and we all got to try and make a living. But I will not like and I will not stand for people who are judgmental like Bryan [Danielson].
“CM Punk, who I think is a liar because he’s lying to everybody showing that he’s a nice guy. Claudio [Castagnoli] wants to go around telling everybody he’s this nice, loveable guy when I know for a fact that I’ve seen things in the past that he’s not a good person, so he’s lying to people. I won’t stand for that. I don’t need anyone else to believe me, but I know what’s real.”
Punk has been involved in a controversy over a reported backstage altercation following AEW All Out pay-per-view. He also slammed his former friend and AEW star Colt Cabana, AEW EVPs The Elite and Hangman Page following the event.
