CM Punk on his new show AEW: Collision, his injury, and more

"And I proceed to have what I think is a garbage match because I'm trying to protect myself on stuff instead of actually just working and trying to put on the best performance I can," Punk said. "I'm keeping an eye out. He chopped me in the mouth one time, and I'm just like, 'OK, did you do that on purpose?' You chip my tooth, and I'm like, 'All right, should I give him a receipt?' It changes the dynamic. It poisoned everything for me, and it made it all really, really ugly, and that was what set all of this off, and here we are over a year later and ain't s--- been done about it."

Oh boy. How has nothing been done about this? Come on, Tony Khanman. Get it together.

Punk said he had regrets about what transpired in that media scrum and has since apologized to Khan for it. He said his and Khan's relationship is now "great."

Oh my god.

"The first thing I said to Tony when I sat down with him and spoke to him after it was, 'Man, I'm really sorry I put you in that position,'" Punk said. "I apologize for the scrum. But when you've watched that scrum, you're looking at a very, very frustrated guy who had told people. That's not the first time he heard all that. It's not the first time lawyers were told all that. And I was just looking for something to be done and nothing got done. So, if you want something done right, you got to do it yourself. And I just didn't approach it in the right manner, but tension was high. I was very, very pissed. I pretty much knew that I had just injured myself again. I was hurt, and I was disappointed. Yeah, it's very easy for me to say I regret that and I handled it the wrong way, 100%."

Sorry that you made me do this - CM Punk.

"I don't think what happened was a big deal..." Punk said. "This has happened in the last 10 months in hockey, in basketball, in baseball, in just about every sport. And it's covered and it's gone the next day. I think because I have injured my tricep and I've been out for so long, I think it has been exacerbated. I think it's been exacerbated by people spreading lies about the whole thing. And when, in reality, my attitude is, well, s--- happens."

I don't recall anyone being bitten or hit with a chair in any of those other sports. Does anyone else?

Punk said he has not had any conversations with Omega or the Jacksons since the incident, although he has tried. He said when he has reached out, he has gotten "messages from lawyers saying, 'Do not contact this person.'" Punk said he is unclear whether those responses came at the request of legal representatives of Omega and the Jacksons or a third party.

Oh my god.

"Now we all got to roll in the f---ing mud, and that never should have happened and has never been course-corrected," Punk said. "So, I understand people want to say that, 'Oh, man, Punk is a dick.' Well yeah, because I'm defending myself and I will always defend myself. I'm open to have a full-blown f---ing sit-down powwow discussion with everybody about it. But it hasn't happened yet, and it's not because of my lack of trying."

Oh my god.

My takeaway from this article: This is like watching a slow moving train wreck. Holy shit. Not only does he state multiple time that the issue hasn't been solved, but he even states that he can't LEGALLY talk to the Young Bucks or Kenny Omega. What the hell is Tony Khanman even doing? Bro, hire some people to deal with this or it is all gonna blow up again.

I hate cm punk so much, the more he talks the more I hate him.

I wasn't watching wrestling when he was making his name and have only seen him in AEW and I'm completely unimpressed.

He botches basic moves, gets injured after what seems like every match, and is clearly locker room poison. And you're trying to convince me this is the best on the world?!

Punk makes a stink and Page's protecting aew from him comment while seemingly doing everything to prove Page right...
