When CM Punk got fired from AEW due to his backstage altercation with a co-star, his public image suffered because of the story attached to the incident. Following his WWE debut, there were reports and claims from his new workplace that the wrestler had changed for the better. Hurricane Helms was one wrestler who was among such stars.

However, when his statement about Punk having changed as a person was spreading on the internet, he gave fans a heads-up about an interaction that he had with the Second City Saint that ‘heated’ things up.

CM Punk almost had a feud with another WWE star

Hurricane Helms was recently featured in an interview with Behind The Turnbuckle. In the interview, he confessed that CM Punk has been a pleasure to have backstage in WWE. His wholesome statement went viral on social media. As soon as Helms came across it, he also presented a counterpoint, claiming that they did have an argument that almost heated up. Helms said, “To be fair, we did have one moment of miscommunication. I was talking about ‘Planet Terry’ and @CMPunk thought I was talking about ‘Planetary’. It almost got heated, but we pulled through. 👍🏻”

The WWE veteran recalled a conversation he had with CM Punk regarding comic books. ‘Planet Terry’ is a comic book published by Marvel while ‘Planetary’ comes from DC. Since “The Best in the World” has written for Marvel before, Helms joke might have led to him getting offended.

Hurricane Helms’ tweet appears to be a satire on the image that CM Punk has developed following his AEW backstage altercation. Even though WWE has seemingly moved past the incident, Tony Khan’s promotion is not letting go of it.

AEW continues to call out CM Punk on their weekly programming

This footage was from AEW All In, after which, the Chicago-based wrestler was fired from the promotion. Several wrestling fans were divided on this topic online, and many even criticized AEW for pulling off this move. The promotion even took to ‘X’ to upload a video and take shots at the former star.
