As we reported earlier, Mike Johnson of PWInsider reported that CM Punk was removed from AEW Collision because he took an issue with All Elite Wrestling not bringing Ace Steel back to the company with him.
Backstage Producer Ace Steel is a very good friend of Punk. He got fired last year for being involved in the backstage fight at the All Out 2022 pay-per-view.
After this report came out, Punk ripped Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer on his Instagram stories, despite the above report being from Mike Johnson.
Below is what Punk wrote about Alvarez:
“Look everyone, Bryan Alvarez doesn’t like it when misinformed internet trolls make up rumors about him so please stop making up rumors and stories for clicks while Bryan makes up rumors and stories for clicks, okay?
He’s married for gods sake! By gawd that man has a family!!! (Bryan Alvarez shut the f**k up and stop talking about me challenge day 1).
Friendly reminder: I haven’t been on TV in 9 months and y’all still just can’t stop talking about me. Maybe stop, you’ll feel better. Love, hate, it’s all the same.
I don’t enjoy being the sole person that props up entire misinformed clickbait industry based on toxic gossip from lying sources, but what can you do? When you’re the king, it comes with the crown.”
Punk also shared a screenshot of an email that Alvarez sent to a friend of Punk. You can read it below:
“I feel stupid for even bothering to write this, but David Bixenspan is in one of his moods and I have been reading THE stupidest sh*t the last 3 days.
If you ever talk to Punk about this (and I doubt you will, and I doubt even more that he’d give a f**k), please let him know that I do not nor have I ever had any problem with him.
It has been FOUR YEARS and Bix still believes that I hold a grudge against CM Punk because he was dating Maria.
The best part is that I am writing this on my anniversary weekend with my wife. I can only imagine the sh*t that will be written in another 4 years. So yeah.
Hope things are going well for you and let me know if you need anything.
Bryan”
