– Punk revealed that he told AEW President Tony Khan that this place is a f**king joke and that Khan is a clown, before quitting the company. He said the following about Khan:
“I don’t like the drama but the truth is the truth. He’s not a boss, he’s a nice guy. That’s a detriment to the company, but it’s not my company.”

• On his Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker said that his best match in WWE was against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 25 in 2009.
While discussing this match, The Phenom made it clear that he isn’t a fan of Dave Meltzer’s match-rating system.
Here’s what the 2022 WWE Hall of Famer said:
“I don’t like to put myself over in those kind of answers but that match was pretty close to… in spite of Dave Meltzer only giving it 4 stars. I don’t remember him taking too many bumps. I don’t really have a lot of stock in what he says.
I can’t even believe I just gave him credit. I did say his name and I’m regretting that right now. We might have to edit that out.”
The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 25 is widely considered to the best match of all time, especially when you consider the stage it took place at, the names involved, what was on the line (The Streak), the performance and the crowd interaction.
