CM Punk breaks silence about his 2022 AEW Double or Nothing match against Adam Page

During an interview with ESPN.com, CM Punk addressed his 2022 AEW Double or Nothing match against “Hangman” Adam Page. According to the article, Punk was “infuriated” about shoot comments that Page made in a pre-match promo. Punk explained that he was concerned Page might intentionally attempt to hurt him during their match…

”I proceed to have what I think is a garbage match because I’m trying to protect myself on stuff instead of actually just working and trying to put on the best performance I can. I’m keeping an eye out. He chopped me in the mouth one time, and I’m just like, ‘OK, did you do that on purpose?’ You chip my tooth, and I’m like, ‘All right, should I give him a receipt?’ It changes the dynamic. It poisoned everything for me, and it made it all really, really ugly, and that was what set all of this off, and here we are over a year later and ain’t s— been done about it.”
