QT Marshall is clearing the air when it comes to the supposed backstage issues he had with CM Punk during his time in AEW.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Vice President of Show and Creative Coordination QT Marshall was a recent guest on Gabby AF. When asked about the reports that there was heat between him and CM Punk during his time in AEW, Marshall said that was a huge misconception.
“One, there was a huge misconception that him and I didn’t get along, that he put a wedge between Tony and I,” QT Marshall said. “I don’t think that was the case because we actually spoke in Newark at the Prudential Center and when I first heard about the fact that there was an issue, I went right to the source and I spoke to him like a man and he listened to me like a man. We had another person in there, just in case, just so we could talk because I always felt like it’s easier just to do that.
“We both realized like, oh, he doesn’t want me with Will Hobbs because he saw more for Will, and I didn’t want to be with Will as his manager because I didn’t want to be a manager. That was the end of it, right? Then of course, like a month later, he was kind of gone anyway, so there was that.
CM Punk didn’t ruin QT Marshall’s relationship with Tony Khan
“Then, fast forward, he returns to WWE and I get a text from Cody saying — and this is like after I had left AEW so the rumor was that I left AEW because I wanted to be a big star and CM Punk ruined my relationship with Tony Khan, couldn’t be further from the truth, both sides.
“Would I love to be a big star? Of course. That’s not what I was going for though, right? Like I said, all of the stuff about Punk, I didn’t even know because I wasn’t there, I was in Mexico getting hit with light tubes by Penta just to prove to my boss that I can get over. It was wild.” [H/T: Fightful]
