CM Punk’s release from AEW was a result of the lack of strong leadership within the organization, according to former wrestler Al Snow. In an interview with “Forbes” to promote the Netflix docuseries ‘Wrestlers,’ Snow highlighted the need for someone with a strong personality to handle individuals like Punk.
The Need for Strong Leadership
Snow emphasized that dealing with someone like Punk requires strong leadership and a personality that matches that of the talent. He suggested that Tony Khan, the owner of AEW, needs to step up and establish his authority in these situations.
Respect over Likability
Snow expressed the importance of earning respect, rather than focusing on being liked. Drawing from his experience working with Vince McMahon, the CEO of WWE, Snow explained that he didn’t always like McMahon, but he always respected him. He believes that Tony Khan should prioritize earning respect over being liked by the talent.
The Punk Situation
Punk’s release from AEW stemmed from an altercation with Jack Perry at All In. Following this incident, Perry was indefinitely suspended from AEW. These kinds of situations are not uncommon in the wrestling industry, and Snow believes that strong leadership is crucial in handling them effectively.
