Seemingly some folks at AEW/WBD watched Punk's interview with Ariel and have probably decided he talked a little bit too much. 👀

This Wednesday may be spicy.

SRS Speaking on it

[Young Bucks] Roll. The. Tape.

Dave Meltzer on X: AEW will be airing the Punk-Perry footage on Wednesday. We'll discuss that on tonight's show

Bryan Alvarez: Yes, Tony is airing the Punk/Jungle Boy footage on Wednesday. It's not a bait and switch.

This is gonna be a bad look for AEW and TK, or the funniest scene of a 40+ year old bitchbaby having a fit that I've ever seen.

I wanna at least see Punk looking fucking horrible. I'll be fine with AEW looking like pissy crybabies, its the wrestling business, every company I've watched since 1984 has had more that it's fair share of time acting like a pissy crybaby, but I need to see Phil trying to throttle and choke a bitch so I can watch him pop on Ariels show next week going "Pfft you call that a choke??"

Another fun part, presuming that is what it shows, is that in the UK the police (well, strictly speaking the Crown Prosecution Service) choose whether to prosecute someone, not the victim, and choking is a mandatory referal, and can seek up to life imprisonment.

This offence requires a person to attempt to choke, suffocate or strangle any other person in order to render that person insensible, unconscious or incapable of resistance with intent to commit an indictable offence.

This is an indictable offence. If a person is found guilty on indictment, they are liable to a term not exceeding life imprisonment.

Section 21 Offences Against the Person Act 1861 – Attempting to choke, suffocate or strangle any other person in order to commit any indictable offence

Now, do I think this would actually happen? No, of course not, the Met are fucked and have better things to do, but WWE / Punk would need to be absolutely certain he wouldn't get picked up at the airport should they run events here.

Any before anyone says there is no chance of that happening should they bring changes, Ja Rule, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, and others, are currently banned from entering the UK. Although, Phil is white, sooooo.

They seem to always be in no win situations. They either look like bitches because Punks comments allude to then being Bush league along with all of the other petty WWE responses.

Or they drop the footage for people to make their own opinion and they look like crybabies because they just let Punk talk shit

2. Keep content related to wrestling.

Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.

3. Spoilers.

Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period.

Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.

4. Vague/Editorialized Title.

Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.

5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.

Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias.
