Bully Ray praised CM Punk's promo, pointing out that Hangman Page will have to answer soon or face fan backlash

Punk's recent promo seems to have largely divided the AEW fanbase, while some agree with the points he made, other fans are upset at the low blows directed at Page. According to Fightful, there's some real-life heat between CM Punk and Hangman Page, which could be why the promo was cut so deeply.

During a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, the legendary Bully Ray gave his take on Punk's now infamous promo.

“Why go from cowboy sh*t to coward sh*t? Now if Hangman doesn’t answer that coward sh*t line, now people have to look at him like he’s a bit of a b**ch," he said. "If I’m a Hangman fan I’m wondering ‘hey, where were you last night?’ And if you never answer this, and I think he will, because AEW is good at planting a seed here and not coming back to it for a while.” (15:04 onward).

Fans will have to make sure they catch AEW Dynamite next week to see whether or not The Millennial Cowboy comments on CM Punk's promo. Fans will also want to make sure they tune in as the one true AEW World Champion will be decided next week as Punk clashes with Jon Moxley at Dynamite.
