CM Punk responds to Dax Harwood's comment that he and The Elite should find a way to make it work.
At AEW All Out on September 4, Punk defeated Jon Moxley to win the AEW World Championship. At the post-show press conference, Punk took several shots at Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks, which reportedly led to a heated brawl between the two sides, along with Ace Steel. Punk, Omega, and The Young Bucks were subsequently suspended, and Steel was fired. While The Elite returned at the Full Gear pay-per-view on November 19, Punk, who suffered an injury during his match against Moxley, has remained absent. AEW president Tony Khan has declined to comment on the situation on multiple occasions.
On the first episode of FTR with Dax Harwood, the AEW star pleaded for the four men to find a way to make it work:
"This is my plea to all four guys. Please find a way to make it work. If we can make it work, we can set up the future of professional wrestling for a long time and we can change the course of professional wrestling for a very long time. When you think about it, unselfishly, we're doing this for 20-30 years down the road so guys and girls can make a living," Harwood said.

The Pro Wresting Podcast shared a news story about Harwood's quotes on Instagram and encouraged the two sides to shake hands and say "sorry." Punk directly commented on ithe post by writing, "Duh."
As of this writing, it's unclear what the future holds for Punk. Fightful will continue to monitor the situation and provide more information as it becomes available.
Kenny Omega previously encouraged people to let "Brawl Out" go. Check out his comments here.
