It appears the Hangman Page removal from Collision had nothing to do with Punk and was a simple misunderstanding.
Over the last few days, it has been revealed that Page was originally scheduled for Saturday’s edition of the program, but was told the promo had been moved to a different location. It was then reported that this was down to CM Punk, who would cut a scathing promo on Hangman after Collision went off the air.
According to a report by Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Adam Page was not ‘removed’ from last week’s AEW Collision taping, adding that CM Punk had nothing to do with what happened to Page.
Sources within AEW confirmed to PWInsider.com this morning that Hangman Page was not “removed” from this past Saturday’s Collision taping.
It was simply a case of the location of the promo being moved to a different place, which had zero to do with CM Punk. The belief is that the Punk promo after the show bled into the promo being moved by those looking to knock Punk.
As we noted yesterday, Page lives in the Greensboro area, which is why the promo was going to be filmed that day. It was not a case of the company sending him on the road and then sending him home.
We are also told by the same sources that Punk texted an apology to Page early Sunday morning but the same sources remained unaware if the two sides had conversed, just that an apology had been sent.

With regard to the Collision post show comments, Punk has apologized directly to Hangman Page as noted above. We will have to wait and see if the two can bury the hatchet and work together once again in the future.
Mark Henry recently stated that it is only a matter of time until Punk battled it out with Kenny Omega.
