Punk was working with guys like Darby Allin, Will Hobbs and even Danhausen. Just because it wasn’t time for his shoulders to hit the mat yet doesn’t mean that those stories weren’t going to be realized. You have to establish the guy’s return to form before you can go knocking it out of place.
His destruction at the hands of Wardlow, even though Punk squeaked out the technical win, was the flashpoint for Wardlow getting white-hot (within the context of that company) and was the trigger for TK jumping the gun as booker and splitting him and MJF up too soon. It’s not Punk’s fault that would be the best treatment Wardlow would get in the company.
On commentary, Punk knows his bread is buttered on putting over other guys. He was totally selfless during his WWE stint behind the desk (even calling a guy like Tyson Kidd “the best in the world” at one point). I don’t know where you get this idea he’d use the platform (which would be supporting him in this context) to create drama that doesn’t need to exist. If you take Punk’s side and get rid of the politicians, you don’t have those problems anyway.
Punk doesn’t flip out over guys not listening to him, lol. He gets cranky when they try to sabotage PPV programs, their work drives off viewers and nothing is done about it. He flips out when they barge into his personal space looking for a fight and gives them one.
AEW needs to be cleaned up. And Punk has got way more value than Kenny or The Bucks in a clean space, because they literally can’t do any of the things that Punk can, even in theory.
