Following reports of locker room unrest, Dax Harwood has pulled no punches in response.
Posting on social media Harwood took aim at reports from Dave Meltzer who said that he had been told that a top star left AEW Dynamite in a bad mood following the return of CM Punk. That person reportedly said that the situation was a ticking time bomb.
Harwood began by thanking everyone for how they treat his daughter when she’s at tapings, making reference to reports of unrest from “a certain individual.”
“I can’t thank everyone in AEW enough for how well they treated Finley this week at Dynamite. You all made her feel so special. If there is a “divisiveness” that a certain individual is reporting, I didn’t see it AT ALL. Check the Collision locker room too. This is a family.”
Harwood followed up with a now-deleted message where he called out the “top star” in question for “running to Dave.”
“This one will get some heat but f*ck it, it needs to be said. Whatever “top star” left the show in a bad mood because a certain individual was there; instead of running to Dave, why not just talk to the individual face to face. That’s how we used to do things back in the day.”
