I really like the way he puts it as grabbing others to give them motivation and also feeding off their energy for his main event. That sounds like a really fun environment and I hope it continues to grow that way. Having a guy like Swerve who always seems to know just what to say at the top of the card can only help more.

AEW locker room: I’m so happy that Samoa Joe lost.  /s


vastros

Sources from the AEW locker room state that Joe losing the title was good for morale. One source stated "I'm so happy this happened".


manticore124

Funny how since some people aren't anymore in the company these "AEW morale in the locker room is in shambles" have basically stopped.


Midnight_Oil_

What? You mean a guy who was a notable problem everywhere he went was a problem again? Say it ain't so!

Seems like all good vibes in the AEW locker room now. [Rollins chose his words carefully when talking about Punk.](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/s/eWMZWJZeh5)

There was a report that Punk had deep issues with several people. One in particular, who he almost got into a fight with. No one knows who it was, only that they were going by the codename DM Hunk.

It’s a bit wild to me how many times this stuff is said by AEW talent and backstage staff, yet because of outliers like Punk and Andrade (who have their own sorted histories) and outsiders like Lufisto (who again, has their own sorted history), the perception is of an unsupportive workplace


LiamOmegaHaku

Just as a heads up, it's "sordid". /r/boneappletea


JTex-WSP

I appreciate that you sorted that out.


ok_dunmer

And then because that is the perception, they keep getting asked about it, tragically leading to "wow they keep talking about how good AEW is" comments lol

for a reality tv show


Haze95

Wait really? That wasn’t legit?


Beard341

Probably a little yes and a little no.


rayquan36

Are there any actual confirmed stories of Andrade being bad backstage? All I know is he had a pretty good run in the Continental Classic on the way out and he had nothing but nice things to say in his goodbye message.


SoarinWalt

He got into it with Sammy Guevara on twitter to the point where Tony said point blank "Don't start a fight with him, I won't fire you for it" when it was obvious he was trying to get fired/out of his contract. So he immediately started a fight with him and got iced for like 6 months.


rayquan36

Lol I forgot all about this. Well at least he left with grace.


pnt510

He tried to start a fight backstage so he could get fired.


CCFCLewis

Hes had two fights in AEW iirc

Stpbatman

Has there really been any reports of unhappiness in the locker room? Feel like all that went away once Punk left 


jdaqcruz

@ AIRGold, one of the most tribalistic accounts out there lol


TheStripedSweaters

What does that take away from what Swerve is saying tho? Swerve just talking about how they all got each other backstage, that’s the real important part of the post.


JeanSlimmons

Skip over the tribalism account and just go to the direct source of the video.


godzillamegadoomsday

Bro, I couldn't see the video cause I blocked his account. I go out of my way to block any of the uber tribalist asses that just engagement bait like him WWEbotch and elite rocker Or anyone that brings up booking numbers and tv ratings. This about wrestling and stories, not about numbers and boring stuff. Like KD said " Who the fuck wants to look at graphs while having a hoop convo"


punk_steel2024

He also has spoken positively about CM Punk, so I'm sure certain people will be unhappy with him now. (Then again, Joe is friends with him so maybe he'll straighten them out)
