In an interview with Bill Apter for Sportskeeda, QT Marshall shared his thoughts on the end of CM Punk's time in AEW, and he brought up how they had talked about taking him off of television.
"I always liked him backstage. I know there were reports that he kept me off of TV, and we actually talked about it. We agreed. Neither of us wanted me to be Will Hobbs’ manager. Then I also had to work Saturdays and Wednesdays. So when him and I spoke about the idea that he didn’t want me with Will Hobbs, I was like yeah, let’s sign me up for that one because I’d rather only work on Wednesdays," Marshall said.
