Just looking at things, it seems like there's lots of chaos back stage with AEW, now we're hearing that Kingston was suspended for a backstage altercation with Sammy Guevera.
you have Page going into business for himself, and Punk losing his stuff over it.
I think that the problem again is that they have no professional management with AEW, and they have a owner "Head booker" that's unwilling to put the hammer down, and a bunch of current workers trying to run the ship.
Like I said a while back, I find the story booking in AEW to be bad, now it didn't help that their money making main event guys were getting hurt, and nobody was really stepping into those slots.
Squashing Punk by Moxley is just kind of silly, and maybe its because Moxley isn't great. But whatever. Maybe they're trying to punish Punk for going against one of the AEW Originals that probably has more favor with the "EVPs". But Punk is a legitimate money maker, and a legitimate main event guy, I'm not sure that Moxley really is.
I do think that AEW has to par down their roster, its too large and a few firings might re-establish that its an actual workplace. And also there's a lot of people that are just doing nothing.
I think that Tony has to bring in something else in the executive suite. to provide leadership and doesn't have these weird personal relationship with the workers that can bring a hammer down.
I wonder how happy Punk is today. The one thing about Punk, he's a times whiny, and has a major chip on his shoulder, but he is in the end that legitimate guy that you're going to spend money to go see on a consistent basis.
