There's reportedly concern within the company that AEW World Champion CM Punk may want to quit the company.

CM Punk called out "Hangman" Adam Page during his intense promo on yesterday's episode of AEW Dynamite. But as previously noted, Punk's comments caught folks in AEW by surprise. Apparently, this wasn't supposed to be part of the script, as CM Punk was to focus on building up his world title unification match against Jon Moxley that will take place next week.

It's not all that uncommon for a wrestler to go off-script, but there may be a lot more to this story that's worth monitoring.

According to a report from Fightful Select (h/t WrestlingNews.co), Page and Punk didn't agree on some of the promo stuff ahead of their match at Double or Nothing (which CM Punk won via pinfall). Apparently, Punk even decided to speak to AEW higher-ups about Page's promos.

Fightful also heard from sources that the 43-year-old wrestler "has often verbally expressed his displeasure", to the point where "they thought he might end up quitting the company."

CM Punk isn't the only notable star that is seemingly frustrated with AEW. It's been more than two months now since 26-year-old superstar MJF cut his own pipe bomb promo and dared AEW President and CEO Tony Khan to fire him.

That was on the June 1 episode of Dynamite, and MJF hasn't been on company programming ever since. Before his promo, there was reportedly concern within the company that he wouldn't show up for his match with Wardlow at Double or Nothing. MJF did show up, losing to his opponent by pinfall.

The Situation Is Worth Following Closely

As of now, the highly-anticipated match between Punk and Moxley is on for next week. But this is certainly something to keep an eye on, especially considering that it's a major star like Punk. Of course, the former WWE Champion grew very frustrated with Vince McMahon's promotion to the point where he walked out and never returned in 2014.
