Punk is a draw. Perry isn't.

Punk is also an adult man. Perry isn't.

Perry behaved immaturely mostly because he's in an environment that allows him to.

Punk behaved immaturely because he's ill-equipped to diffuse conflict without making things physical.

Ls all around.

In my opinion Punk should know better. As is his pattern, he's 100% right and expressed it 100% wrong. Not letting Perry off the hook, he's a brat who will never draw more than the 10 cents he's drawing right now. AEW could fire him and suffer not a dollar.

At some point Tony Khan needs to do some soul searching within himself and across his organization and assess whether this is an infrastructure that's too enabling of talent and too lacking in standards. Because it is.
