Former AEW World Champion CM Punk shared his thoughts on his time in AEW during an appearance on “The MMA Hour” podcast earlier this week.
Punk discussed an incident involving Jack Perry at an AEW Collision event where Tony Schiavone approached him and requested his help when Perry intended to use a lead pipe to break a car window. Schiavone addressed Punk’s comments on a recent edition of his “What Happened When” podcast. He said,
“Did he have a couple of stories about me? Jungle Boy, right? [Conrade Thompson notes that Punk brought Schiavone up but not in a negative way.] You know what? I really don’t give a s*** about it. I’m not gonna get into this. I know what he said, and let him continue to talk if he wants. That’s all I got. Look, okay, I don’t give a s***. That’s all I can say. I can’t get into that. It would be stupid for me to get into that.”
He continued, “I had no idea what he said, with the exception of someone told me, ‘Oh, he brought up your name, and here’s what he said.’ I went, ‘So what?’ So f**king what? [Thompson says Punk was not critical of him] I know. That’s why I’m saying, ‘So what?’ If he was critical of me, people would say, ‘Oh, Schiavone on his podcast [wanted to] defend himself.’ I have nothing to defend. Let’s move on.”
