After AEW Collision went off the air on Saturday night, CM Punk cut a promo in the ring, with FTR. Punk called Hangman Page a “leg warmer.” Punk also said that Page is unlike him, who moves merchandise, pops ratings and sells toys.
A fan in attendance at the Greensboro Coliseum, caught the promo on vide and posted the it to his social media, which can be seen below.
Punk and FTR were unsuccessful in capturing the AEW World Trios Championships from House of Black in the main event, after Samoa Joe came down and choked out Punk and causing the distraction, which led to Dax Harwood taking a spinning lariat from Brody King for the pin.

“Carolina is Hangman country [referencing a sign in the crowd]. Earlier today, I went to a local supermarket and I figured out why the call him Hangman. It’s because the pegs in the toy aisle are full of Hangman action figures because nobody wants to buy them. He’s a peg warmer, unlike me, who moves merchandise, pops ratings, sells toys. You got everybody in AEW saying, ‘I’m the heart, I’m the soul, I’m the spirit.’ Well, that’s objective [subjective], what’s a fact is the people who say that certainly aren’t the chin of AEW because the lights go out faster than…what? GTS, Go To Sleep, I don’t know what I’m trying to do. I got rocked too. I told the House of Black, ‘no chops,’ and they chopped me, so I’m very mad.”
