AEW star Matt Hardy recently came under fire for his recent comments on the CM Punk controversy.
The Second City Saint's comments at the All Out media scrum resulted in a chaotic environment that lasted several weeks. The subsequent brawl backstage also resulted in several personnel being suspended, including The Elite and Punk.
Although Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks are seemingly on their way back to the promotion, Punk's standing with the company is in question.
Matt Hardy recently commented on the matter, expressing his stance in favor of The Elite after apparently watching the brawl firsthand. Shortly afterward, he clarified that he had not actually seen the events unfold at the All Out event, but had seen the investigation following the incident.
