Last year's infamous CM Punk-Jack Perry altercation sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling industry. Interestingly, this conflict is one of the hottest topics in wrestling podcasts and discussions to this date.

New Japan Pro Wrestling star Gabe Kidd is scheduled to lock horns with the returning Kenny Omega at Wrestle Dynasty. The build-up for this match has been quite good so far. A few weeks ago, the two men were seen brawling backstage at Power Struggle 2024. The backstage brawl between The Best Bout Machine and the English native was chaotic and almost out of control. After this confrontation, NJPW President Hiroshi Tanahashi reportedly fined the reigning Strong Openweight Champion.

Nevertheless, fans are eagerly waiting for January 5, 2025, because Kidd vs. Omega has everything to steal the show. In a recent interview with Adrian Hernandez, the 27-year-old was asked if he thought that the CM Punk-Jack Perry altercation was more disturbing than his brawl with the former AEW World Champion.

The NJPW star responded to this question by calling the incident between Punk and Perry embarrassing.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

“Come on, man, you can’t even call that a brawl. How are you going to call that a brawl? That was the most embarrassing thing I ever saw in my life. That was—oh my God, he pushed him, and he slapped him, and put him in a front face. So talking about scrapping? Shut up, man. Kenny got double-legged through a metal barrier. So that’s a silly question to ask,” said the English star. [From 01:15 to 01:45]
