CM Punk recently went on a bit of a rant on Instagram (his post has since been deleted), in which he claimed that Jon Moxley said he didn't want to lose to him at the All Out PPV.
Punk said that he thought Mox's Rocky III idea (Mox easily defeats Punk for the title on Dynamite, Punk comes back stronger and regains it at the PPV) "sucked," but agreed to it because it was what Tony Khan wanted.
Now, Moxley has responded while chatting to his wife, Renee Paquette, on the latest episode of her podcast. Though he doesn't get into it too much, based on his comments, it does sound like he did indeed have an issue with dropping the title to Punk.
“No, because nothing has unfolded. It’s f***ing annoying. Just because somebody said some stupid sh*t on social media, that’s not news. But it is, and it ends up being a thing. I don’t want to get dragged into this dumb sh*t. I could f***ing unload on a lot of f***ing people right now. And when I start getting dragged into this sh*t it tempts me to do that but I’m not going to f***ing sink to that level.” “I will say this. I will give you a tid bit of information from my point of view."
Mox went on to explain that he wasn't actually under contract at the time, and basically implies that he was doing Punk a favor by even agreeing to be in the same room and have the discussion.
“The night in, what’s-his-dicks [CM Punk] talking about, Minneapolis, is the night he came back, hopping on one foot after me and Jericho wrestled. Badass match by the way. We’re talking later about stuff. Bear in mind, and this is my point, I basically don’t work there. For all intents and purposes. I don’t even work here. Tony [Khan] is not my boss. I don’t even have to be in this room. I don’t have to do shit. So even me being in this room and offering and agreeing to a storyline that puts you over at the Pay-Per-View [All Out 2022] if anything, I am bending over backwards for Tony and for this dude, and for the company."
"But I will say this. As an observer, it seems like I spent 8 years on the Indies, did a couple years in developmental, did 8 years in WWE. I have never seen so much bullsh*t drama in one place in my entire f*cking life.”
Mox and the rest of the Blackpool Combat Club are currently engaged in a feud with The Elite, but there's a lot of speculation that Punk will return at the next PPV and get involved.
