Speaking at the post-show press conference, AEW President
Tony Khan said that the environment backstage at Collision
is “easier” than it was a year ago, and the locker room is
“in a much better place,” taking an obvious swipe at CM Punk
without mentioning his name.
Up until a year ago, Collision was pretty much a CM Punk
show, with his rules on who appears or not. That came to an
end at All In when he ended up in a fight with Jack Perry
backstage which ultimately led to his firing from the
company.
“As evidenced by when we came up here versus what happened
here a year ago, I think it’s a much easier job I have
because I had to deal with the people on Collision last year
and it’s a much easier meeting process to put the TV
together than it was a year ago at this time,” Khan
continued.
During All In, Jack Perry had broken glass with him which he
used in the coffin match with fans chanting “Oh cry me a
river” and “F*ck CM Punk” along the way.
