Punk painted an unflattering picture of the AEW locker room as being cliquey and drama-filled, but claims he never fed into it. “With me, respect is the default,” Punk said. “I respect everybody until you do something that makes me lose my respect for you. And I had never done anything to any of those guys. If they’re basing how their attitude is toward me based on some bulls*** their friend told them, then I can’t help you … but yeah, everything went off the rails from there.”
