The wrestling world exploded after a clip resurfaced exposing former AEW World Champion CM Punk's drastic change in behavior in less than 365 days.The former WWE Superstar made his AEW debut last year. This was one of the biggest moments in pro wrestling history. Fans were beyond elated after the self-proclaimed Best in the World made his return to the squared circle after seven years.The Straight Edge Superstar's first match in AEW was in the 2021 edition of the All Out pay-per-view. A year later, on the same event, Punk defeated Jon Moxley to become a two-time AEW World Champion.After the pay-per-view, Punk threw a tantrum at the post-show media scrum, which led to a brawl backstage between Ace Steel, Punk, and The Elite that resulted in him getting stripped of his title and suspended indefinitely.Wrestling journalist Denise Salcedo posted a clip on her social media comparing CM Punk to both the post-show media scrums.Denise 'Flying In A Dream' Salcedo@_denisesalcedoCM PUNK AEW ALL OUT 2021 VS AEW ALL OUT 20223316446CM PUNK AEW ALL OUT 2021 VS AEW ALL OUT 2022 https://t.co/Gx3SBEgjbFFans shared their reactions to the drastic change in behavior and attitude in the span of one year.Many felt that he was jealous of the growth of former AEW World Champion Hangman Adam Page.mike@emondm24@_denisesalcedo He was so bitter,you would have thought he got screwed ala Bret. I still have no idea why he went after Hangman because of a promo when Mjf and Kingston said worse to Punk11@_denisesalcedo He was so bitter,you would have thought he got screwed ala Bret.

He knew he was washed in the ring and couldn't stand the fact Hangman wouldn't slow down and make him look good. I still think he broke his foot trying to do a buckshot lariat and used the fan dive as an excuse.18@emondm24 @_denisesalcedo Pure jealousy.

When are people going to realize that Kenny and the Bucks didn’t get AEW started for the fans, but as their own ego project?

They also shared Punk's statements from the past insinuating that he is also a hypocrite.Brian@canefan27@_denisesalcedo He's always been disingenuous. CM Punk, the character, is great fun. Phil Brooks, on the other hand, is a cancer that has burned bridges everywhere he goes. That said, I hope he can finally mature and become a genuinely good person. I hope he finds peace someday soon.8@_denisesalcedo He's always been disingenuous. CM Punk, the character, is great fun.

Punk could just be exaggerating. Maybe he's just sensitive and thought Hangman said it the wrong way. We should wait for Page's side of the story, if it ever comes out. Page doesn't seem the type to dredge and prolong drama like Punk.1@ShinyFrontz @emondm24 @_denisesalcedo Furthermore, is this even true? Punk could just be exaggerating.

The hold-up right now is said to be the non-compete period. Obviously if the non-compete is an issue, it’s about interest in going to WWE because there’s no need for a non-compete otherwise because nobody else but AEW and WWE can pay him close to what he was making," Dave Meltzer said.
