Ariel Helwani recently had a chance to interview CM Punk. During the interview, Punk shared as much as he could about the issues he had faced in AEW. Punk revealed his side of the story of the backstage altercation he had with Jack Perry at AEW All In 2023.
Recently, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray reacted to the comments on Busted Open Radio. He mentioned that he believed everything that Punk said. Furthermore, Bully shared the story on his own run-in with Perry in England. Bully claimed Perry disrespected him and blew him off.
“This is a snot-nosed kid problem. This is a punk-a** kid problem. And I believe every single last word that (CM) Punk is saying about Jack Perry. Because I had my own incident with Jack Perry in England a year ago and there wasn’t really an incident because if there was an incident, Jack Perry wouldn’t be around anymore. Jack Perry, came off, to me, like a very disrespectful young wrestler. Especially when I went out of my way to introduce myself to him and extend my hand with a smile on my face and I was treated like a young boy by Jack Perry. Blown off, disregarded. And I see you (David LaGreca) shaking your head right now and as God is my witness, should the good Lord strike me down with lightning, I’m telling you the truth.
“So when I hear these stories about a Jack Perry, like Punk saying he carried himself and he disrespected when he wasn’t listening to an authority figure like the doctor or he wasn’t listening to an authority figure like Tony Schiavone or anybody else, I believe them. Because I witnessed the disrespectful behavior myself,” Bully Ray said. [H/T POST Wrestling]
