When you lose one of your biggest stars that you’ve had in recent years and they jump ship over to your rival; it’s sure to ruffle some of your feathers. Vince McMahon has been known to talk some trash here and there about stars that have left his brand or stars that he let go himself. As we saw Daniel Bryan make his debut at AEW All Out for the aforementioned brand, this had many people talking and the people that were talking were “higher ups” over at WWE….Bray Wyatt Drops AEW Bombshell Before Raw.
With names such as CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Adam Cole, and Ruby Soho showing up at All Out and having current WWE workers praise them, it’s only fair to assume that Vince McMahon caught word of this. While it’s not exactly stated that Vince did say anything, the report does state that “higher ups” had something to say.
Ringside News asked around about the internal reaction within WWE regarding losing Daniel Bryan and Adam Cole. Ringside was told that one of the higher ups in creative stated: “No one here views it as a big loss. Whether that’s right or wrong, that’s the mentality.”
Ringside then stated that higher ups had said about CM Punk jumping the shark: “WWE has no interest in CM Punk and even less for Phil Brooks as a human being. Let him be their headache.”
