Yep... Calling out the Claudio matter (he stopped him from winning AEW gold), Nic Nemeth (currently suing Punk and AEW), and Matt Cardona (not sure what happened there), then telling USA, "you can have your two minutes back. I don't need them," was ***chef's kiss***.
***Edited to add*** Hell, those are folks Cena buried while they were in the E. Nic is Dolph Ziglar. Ryan is his brother.
I don't know if there's more to it, but several years ago Cardona made some innocuous joking tweet about what he would do if he could go back in time to the time Cena threw him off the stage while he was in a wheelchair, and (not actually form) Chicago Phil crashed out on him on Twitter about worker's rights or some sheet completely out of nowhere. Dude is just a goof always looking for an argument and creating one if there isn't one to be found.
Punk is a rage filled goober who holds others to standards he would never even think about holding himself to. When Miz works a Saudi show, he's "sucking blood money covered dick," and that must loudly be pointed out on social media, but when birch made Phil does it, it's just business, right? Never mind all his performative activism. Makes a big show out of how progressive he is on social media, but doesn't actually put in any work, time, money, or effort to any of the movements he claims to support, all the while taking paychecks from people/organizations that openly run counter to all of it.
Watching that clown get verbally bodied was cathartic, work or no.
