this is what I got from that promo too. i even just went back to check to make sure I wasn't misremembering and I found no mention of colt from hanger. I thought it was just a shot that punk talking about the sasha/naomi walkout but not really showing his support through his actions backstage. basically hanger saying "i change with the loving boys" like cm punks hero bret hart

I'm pretty sure he was asked a question about it. He could have said "I'm not going to talk about that", and he could have not brought it up again two or three times in response to unrelated questions.

the first question of the scrum was cut off and we, the fans, dont know what was said. it opened with punk asking a journo something about doing improv and then Punk asks if he's friends with Colt.

I agree it wasn’t said literally, but I do think it’s a bit too naive to suggest it wasn’t about Punk and Cabana. Hangman’s friends with Cabana, he said he wanted to “embarrass” Punk but not in a match, which would have to do with his reputation. What would hurt his reputation? Airing the dirty laundry in front of an audience of millions would do the trick; I agree that holding grudges breeds suspicion, but also it’s not like, a severe leap in logic. They laid out enough rope for Punk to hang himself and he’s only now tied the noose.

FWIW I am not on Punk’s side in this but I still do think it’s a weird fight to pick with a guy making money. That said, it’s really funny that Punk also picked a fight with The Rock once upon a time and didn’t think about the money then either.

yeah, the quote about "oh boy i don't take advice heh" was apparently something that pissed punk off, he obviously feels like he's going to be a mentor and source of wisdom that will shape the company and young talent, i feel like Punk desperately wants an "elder statesman" jaunt like Jericho is on, and it seems like The Elite are doing "their thing" and maybe not cool on collaborating or going to the like, 2 dozen legit legends that are employed by AEW to shape the product and i can see how it'd be a bit of a tense environment to work in. the elite are like, wrestling auteurs
