CM Punk's AEW firing was one of the most shocking decisions from the company this year. Initial reports indicated that a disciplinary committee made the final decision, and now it has been revealed that Bryan Danielson headed the council.
Danielson and Punk have a storied history that goes back to their days in ROH. They have seemingly been friends for years, sharing the ring in various companies. However, due to The American Dragon's alleged involvement in the decision to fire Punk from AEW, fans have accused him of betraying his former colleague.
Fightful Select broke the story about Danielson's role in Punk's exit yesterday. Since then, fans have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts on the development. Many viewers criticized Danielson for allegedly supporting the decision to fire The Second City Saint. Meanwhile, others slammed Tony Khan for firing the former AEW World Champion.
