CM Punk decided to use Twitter to promote his upcoming appearance on this week’s episode of WWE Backstage with a simple tweet designed to be provocative. In it, he claimed “no one is safe” while tagging the likes of both Vince McMahon and Tony Khan.
Yes, AEW’s Tony Khan.
Then, this:
No one is safe? Sounds like a plane full of wrestlers in Saudi Arabia!

Hot damn!
Randy Orton wasn’t just going to let that sit there:
What’s that whole thing about glass houses and stones?https://t.co/z99BVuCMfP

And so it goes.
Update: Khan, the President and CEO of AEW, who one might think would be above these things, kept it going, this time responding to Orton specifically.
I thought you only tagged me in your posts when you were grasping for leverage. That article’s over a year old + is about baseless claims made about my dad years ago. That’s the best you can do, nothing. Meanwhile in the time since that was written, you used the N word on twitch.
