But for AEW, I definitely think that\u2019s part of our audience. Twitter\u2019s not real life, though. On top of that, a lie makes its way around the world twice before the truth puts his boots on or gets out of bed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I addressed every rumor, I\u2019d be here all day. I love AEW. It\u2019s not a competition of who loves it more or who\u2019s the heart and soul, or who\u2019s this and who\u2019s that. AEW allowed me a second chance to do what I do best, and that\u2019s professionally wrestle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one side of the story,\u201d Punk said regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/08\/24\/tony-khan-confirms-issues-between-c-m-punk-and-adam-page\/\">internet news on his happiness<\/a>. \u201cMy locker room is never closed. It\u2019s always open. Anybody who wants to DM Meltzer some bullshit can come talk to me about it. It\u2019s not macho, stupid bullshit. I\u2019m an adult. Come talk with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CM Punk will face Jon Moxley on this week&#8217;s episode of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/08\/17\/8-17-aew-dynamite-tv-results-sages-alt-perspective-report-on-danielson-vs-garcia-2-out-of-3-falls-cm-punk-talks-young-bucks-mystery-partner-vs-lfi-more\/\">AEW Dynamite<\/a>\u00a0with the Undisputed AEW World Championship on the line.
