WWE Hall of Famer takes major shot at “bitter” CM Punk after AEW segment

CM Punk and MJF’s promo on last week’s AEW Dynamite is still being talked about. This time, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T said the Second City Saint is still bitter about WWE.

CM Punk and MJF weren’t shy about referencing WWE during their 20-minute long promo segment. AJ Styles, John Cena, Triple H, The Miz, and Stephanie McMahon were referenced in various capacities.

On his Hall of Fame podcast, the former world champion said CM Punk is still bitter about WWE, and that’s why he said some of the things. In particular, he talked about the line about Tony Khan having a daughter for MJF to become successful:

“He’s [Miz] good at what he does, you know, even MJF. I don’t look at MJF as being the best wrestler in the world. I just don’t. But as far as him going out there and being able to sell tickets and put behinds on the seats, he does that, he does it very well. I think, you know, from CM Punk’s side, it’s always going back to WWE to get a cheap pop, and you could say whatever you want about that. I just think, you know, the stuff about Tony Khan needing to get a daughter, you know, that kind of stuff. Yeah, I mean, it just rings bitter, you know? I mean I guess to me everything that MJF said in that promo, it was hard bro. It was hardcore. If I was on the opposite end, I would have been throwing up my hands to block some of the punches coming my way.”
