The 83 Weeks co-host didn't hold back after Reigns' SummerSlam win over Seth Rollins, comparing the Head of the Table to a wrestling version of a music industry plant. Conrad Thompson on Eric Bischoff's 83 Weeks podcast, took a scathing take on Roman Reigns, arguing that the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion doesn't deserve the reputation he's built over the past several years. Discussing Reigns' recent victory over Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2026, Thompson didn't mince words, telling Bischoff he considers Reigns to be the most overrated main event star in company history. Borrowing a term from the music world, Thompson labeled Reigns an "industry plant" — someone elevated by the machine behind him rather than by genuine talent or fan demand. His core argument: WWE's business wouldn't skip a beat if Reigns vanished from television tomorrow. "I think Roman Reigns is probably the most overrated main eventer in WWE history. I know this isn't a wrestling term, it’s a music term, but Roman Reigns is what music would call an industry plant. I don’t think if Roman Reigns disappears tomorrow WWE’s fortune changes at all. Thompson leaned on a phrase Triple H has used to explain why the company holds back stars like Bron Breakker — that pushing someone too aggressively risks shoving them "down our throats." Thompson's contention is that this is exactly what happened with Reigns, who he says has been force-fed to the audience for years. He acknowledged The Bloodline storyline had real strengths, but suggested the faction has overstayed its welcome, comparing its current state to the "black and silver era" of the nWo — a once-groundbreaking angle that lingered long past its creative peak. Perhaps the sharpest part of Thompson's critique centered on legacy. He argued that unlike CM Punk or Cody Rhodes, Reigns has never been booked in a way that lets fans form an organic emotional connection to him — audiences have simply been trained to accept his spot at the top rather than earning it. Thompson challenged listeners to name a favorite Roman Reigns match or promo, suggesting few could. He also pointed out that Reigns doesn't carry the promotional workload that stars like Cody Rhodes or John Cena have shouldered, doing minimal press and media rounds compared to his peers. Thompson's most memorable line described Reigns' in-ring routine as formulaic: a long entrance, a slow-paced, similar-feeling match every time, and a win to close the show. He summed it up by comparing Reigns to Goldberg — but a version of Goldberg capable of working matches longer than ten minutes.

The recent airing of CM Punk and Jack Perry's altercation footage on AEW Dynamite has created a stir within the company, and according to reports, The Young Bucks were not fans of the decision.## On the April 10th episode of Dynamite, the infamous backstage brawl from AEW All In 2023 was shown as part of the storyline leading up to The Young Bucks' upcoming match against FTR at AEW Dynasty. While the footage served a narrative purpose, a new report suggests The Young Bucks, also known as the EVPs, were not enthusiastic about it.## Wade Keller, speaking on the Wade Keller Hotline on PW Torch VIP, revealed that according to his sources within AEW, "this was not something The Bucks were in favor of doing." He further clarified that the decision to air the footage came from Tony Khan, the head of AEW.## This report aligns with earlier claims of "backstage frustration" following Khan's decision. Keller suggests this is not an isolated incident, stating he "hasn't heard of anyone who was in favor" of airing the footage, and that overall morale within AEW "isn't great" as a result.## Adding fuel to the fire, The Young Bucks took to Twitter after the episode, referring to themselves as "EVPetty."

The latest episode of AEW Dynamite brought back a piece of unwanted history with the airing of footage showing the infamous backstage altercation between CM Punk and Jack Perry at AEW All In 2023. This move has left the wrestling world buzzing, but the reaction within AEW itself is far from unified. ## According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, many within AEW were ready to move on from the messy Punk situation. They viewed his post-departure barbs as water under the bridge, something best left unaddressed.## However, the airing of the altercation footage seems to have reignited tensions. Meltzer reports hearing frustration from wrestlers who feel the segment reopened a closed wound and put them in a position where they can't defend themselves.## The Young Bucks, who explained the footage's inclusion as a way to address the "tainted" finish to their previous match with FTR at All In, added fuel to the fire with their social media post referring to themselves as "EVPetty."## CM Punk, unsurprisingly, reacted in "typical Punk fashion" according to Meltzer, though details remain unrevealed. This cryptic response further adds to the intrigue.## The situation has also drawn reactions from outside AEW, with several WWE stars including Cedric Alexander, Corey Graves, and Shawn Spears chiming in on social media. While the specifics of their comments aren't public, the mere acknowledgement adds another layer to the drama.## With tensions rising and CM Punk seemingly enjoying the renewed spotlight, AEW finds itself at a crossroads. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

As promised, AEW Dynamite delivered the highly anticipated backstage altercation footage featuring former AEW star CM Punk (now in WWE) and Jack Perry (currently in NJPW).## The speculation surrounding the segment's presentation was finally put to rest as the Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), AEW's Executive Vice Presidents, unveiled the footage from the AEW All In event.## The clip showcased a heated exchange between Punk and Perry, who wrestles as Jungle Boy Jack Perry. The Young Bucks framed the incident as a "ridiculous" distraction that prevented them from focusing on their match at All In.## Following the footage, FTR's Cash Wheeler fired off a fiery promo, questioning why this eight-month-old incident was still a topic of discussion. He went on to call the Young Bucks "petty little brats."## However, his partner, Dax Harwood, offered a more nuanced take. While acknowledging the Young Bucks' role in founding AEW, Harwood suggested they'd lost sight of their commitment to the company.## Harwood then emphasized the dedication of wrestlers like FTR, Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland, Daniel Garcia, Willow Nightingale, and others. He declared their unwavering passion for AEW, a company they truly wanted to be a part of. This sentiment builds towards FTR's upcoming clash with the Young Bucks for the vacant AEW Tag Team Championship at the upcoming AEW Dynasty pay-per-view. ## Here is the footage of the backstage incident at AEW All In Wembley between CM Punk & Jack Perry that was shown on AEW Dynamite#AEWDynamite pic.twitter.com/02MaxFriCi— WrestlePurists (@WrestlePurists) April 11, 2024 ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

CM Punk closes out a tremendous WrestleMania Week by addressing the people of Philadelphia after Raw goes off the air. Below check out the full transcription; ## "I used to live in Philadelphia. When I lived in Philadelphia, I worked at a little place called the Murphy Rec Center. When I signed with the WWE in 2005, I spent a year in developmental in Louisville, Kentucky. And then when I debuted on television, my first pay per view was right here in Philadelphia. I don't know, 16,000, 18,000 people. I say I don't know because I know for a fact that tonight there's over 20,000 of you maniacs filling this arena right now. ## You know what I like to see? I like to see that small set cuz I like to see all these people here behind it. And it's a testament to people like Main Event Jey Uso putting all these asses in all these seats. Now we can't do this in a city if it doesn't love professional wrestling the way Philadelphia does. ## The Wise Man can't have a Hall of Fame ceremony in a city that doesn't love extreme like Philadelphia does. And hey, I might have been born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, but the city of brotherly love welcomed me with open arms when I lived and worked here. It's a place I love coming back to, and we have just completed the single greatest weekend of WrestleMania in history. ## Over 201,000 tickets sold. So thank you, Philadelphia, for accepting this kid from Chicago into your hearts and always chanting my name. Can I speak for everybody today, Jey? Yeet. I speak for everybody in back, everybody in front of the camera, and everybody who makes this place tick, from driving trucks to working sound, to taking pictures, to holding cameras. To making sure we're safe inside and outside of hotels, and everybody in between, and all their families at home that miss us when we leave. I mean it when I say this, we love you. Thank you, Philadelphia." ## If you use this transcription or any portion of it please credit Sacnilk.com and link to this page. ## ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
