When he beat Darby and then faked ring rust for the next few months.
Matthew Barnes
His ego he thinks he's equal to John Cena and Roman and in a company like AEW he can piss over everyone without a strong leader like Vince who won't take his shit.
Gavin Taylor
never thought it would be this fast. but i guess it was as soon as he came in if you consider colt's firing to be the beginning.
Gavin Scott
This
Vince carnied Phil so hard that it took him years to figure it out
Parker Rivera
He's been a cancer in every fed he's worked for.
You just know he would take AEW's antiwwe narrative to the max and sink his buzz sucking fangs into every trending talent so he could rebuild his ego and tell himself that he's a real wrestler again because some jap carried him to an above average match
David Nelson
>because some jap carried him to an above average match
Care to extrapolate
Aiden Rodriguez
>Darby Allin
career was already stagnating being Sting's ring boy, but went crashing down the card immediately
>Powerhouse Hobbs
is literally just now recovering, team's gimmick was "we lose but you like us anyways" for months (seriously why didn't they win the belts)
>Daniel Garcia
had to be rescued by post bloat Jericho, but also will never draw a dime in his life, regardless of a Punk match

>Penta
Penta has pretty much been directionless his whole run
>Dustin Rhodes
it's fucking Dustin in 2022 who cares
>John Silver

>Adam Page
HOLY KWAB
the only real derailments from Punk himself were Darby and Page, besides that it's mostly been AEW undercard syndrome
Parker Wood
wants a match with Okada, Tanahashi, and Ospreay for no particular reason other than those three just so happen to be some of the top guys in New Japan and he wants to steal their buzz while they try to carry his unathletic ass
John Rodriguez
Why would they agree?
Luke Phillips
Dude has had "ring rust" for his entire career. It's almost unbelievable how he fooled smarks into believing that he's a great worker.
Evan Ramirez
More proof that wrestling is more about personality than actual wrestling
Michael Murphy
Xavier Jackson
>Lee Moriarty
>where the fuck is my boy
Named dropped by Danielson for Blackpool combat club: "What if we trained Yuta, Danielson, a guy like Lee Moriarty." Then stuck with Dante martin briefly, Sydal, Gresham/ROH hell, now in the new Stokley stable with Ethan Page and Ass boys.
Carson Green
his entire career and life up to that point

>Rejects it and makes more passive-aggressive comments.
But this isn't true, at the time AEW basically just said they couldn't justify paying that much money, this was a time when their TV deal was way worse than their current one so bringing in more high cost guys was a liability they didn't want to take.
Angel Bailey
Yeah because he's a petty bitch that always causes issues sooner or later
