A veteran wrestling journalist has shed some light on CM Punk reportedly not getting along with a popular AEW star and executive. The latter, Christopher Daniels, retired from in-ring competition earlier this year.The Straight Edge Superstar's All Elite Wrestling run came to a disastrous end in 2023 when he was fired for getting into a backstage fight with Jack Perry at All In: London. Around a year before that, the former AEW World Champion made headlines because of his locker room skirmish with Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks on the infamous "Brawl Out" night. That incident led to all parties involved being suspended, although Punk would be brought back later on the inaugural episode of Collision.The Best in the World was supposedly a major creative force in the early days of the Saturday Night Show, and previous reports have hinted at his formidable behind-the-scenes power, which even allowed him to ban certain All Elite names from Collision tapings. This supposedly included Christopher Daniels, despite the latter being AEW's Head of Talent Relations. Dave Meltzer alluded to this arrangement recently on X/Twitter while responding to fan speculations on CM Punk's backstage authority in All Elite Wrestling."He was considered the unofficial showrunner for Collision and to keep him happy if he didn't want someone at the tapings, they made arrangements they weren't. People he didn't like who had ROH matches were taped on Wednesday even though at the time Saturday was ROH taping night. Daniels was one of the names on the list even though he doubled as talent relation head."Dave Meltzer @davemeltzerWONLINKHe was considered the unofficial showrunner for Collision and to keep him happy if he didn't want someone at the tapings, they made arrangements they weren't.
