Where is this “Punk can’t take it” coming from? Is it because Adam Page cut that promo live on Dynamite? Because there’s a difference between doing it behind the scenes, cutting a worked promo and going off-script and into business for yourself.
Tony Khan would have set a direction for Punk/Page. They all would have been clued in on what that is. Punk seemed interested in working with Page. He probably offered pointers on the promo and had input in the creative direction of the program (if not outright control). For a guy to walk out there and use his time to go in the opposite direction is absolutely insane and unprofessional. It’s fair enough to want an apology for that. Tony really fucked up by not putting his foot down there, because Page shat all over him too.
That’s not the same as “not being able to take it.” Say whatever you want about him, but Punk has always been the butt of a lot of jokes and had very vocal critics (sometimes rightfully so). To say the guy has thin skin is a bit of a sweetened perspective based on dislike. The dude went out there, got his ass hammered in the UFC and still has the audacity to go on TV and act like a tough guy.
