Dax Harwood Clarifies AEW Promo, Denies Shot at CM Punk

AEW wrestler Dax Harwood has cleared the air regarding comments made on Dynamite that some fans interpreted as a dig at CM Punk.## During the recent episode, both Adam Copeland (aka Edge) and Harwood delivered passionate promos about AEW. Harwood's speech, which included a line about not letting people "steal your joy," sparked speculation of a veiled reference to CM Punk's controversial interview.## Taking to social media, Harwood refuted these claims. He emphasized his respect for Fightful's reporting but clarified that his comments weren't directed at anyone, especially "one of my best friends," presumably referring to Punk.## Harwood explained the emotional context of his promo: "Try to stay off social media but I read this this morning and I have to respond... I was in the ring with 3 great friends, in front of a great crowd, realizing what we had all overcame, and felt emotional."## Sean Ross Sapp, journalist at Fightful, apologized for the misinterpreted article. Harwood responded with understanding, acknowledging that "rah rah speeches" are a regular part of his closing segments, even with Punk in the past. ## "It's ok dude. I don't blame you. That's why I said I respect your reporting. I just wanted to clear up anything... If I'm the last guy in the ring at the end of the night, I ALWAYS cut a passionate rah rah speech and talk about loving my wife daughter and wrestling in front of the crowd. Done it multiple times with Adam, a TON of times with Punk, and I've even done it after ROH tapings. It's never been a headline before. I guess the timing made it newsworthy." ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

AEW Star Comments On Kofi Kingston Losing The WWE Championship In Roughly 10 Seconds, Call It 'Heartbreaking'

Kofi Kingston began his career in WWE as part of the stable known as The New Day, alongside Big E and Xavier Woods. He made his WWE debut in 2008 and has since become one of the most popular and accomplished wrestlers in the company. ## Kingston is known for his high-flying and acrobatic in-ring style, which often includes moves such as the Trouble in Paradise (a spinning roundhouse kick) and the S.O.S (a bridging inverted facelock neckbreaker). He is also known for his ability to incorporate his Jamaican heritage into his character, often using dance moves and reggae-inspired music during his entrances. ## In 2010, Kingston won the Intercontinental Championship, becoming the first African-born wrestler to hold that title. He went on to hold the title three more times. He also won the United States Championship, twice, and he has also been part of the WWE Tag Team Championship with his stablemates Big E and Xavier Woods. ## In 2019, Kingston won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35, by defeating Daniel Bryan in an impressive match. He became the first African-born wrestler to hold the WWE Championship and his victory was celebrated by the WWE fans around the world. ## He held the title for a few months, but Brock Lesnar defeated him in roughly 10 seconds to win the gold on the premiere of SmackDown on FOX. ## Speaking on his FTR with Dax Harwood podcast, Dax Harwood said that the way Kofi Kingston lost the WWE Championship was heartbreaking. ## “I was very, very upset. I remember that I texted Kofi. Actually it was a group text with The New Day and myself and Dan [Cash Wheeler]. I apologized to him and I said, 'I’m so sorry this happened to you, man. We’re so upset. I can’t believe this is for real.’ Not because of anything with Brock, but how much we had worked and how he had worked to get to this point. Especially when we were working with him, with Randy, I saw him outside of Vince’s office or go into Vince’s office every single week to try to make things better, to try to make his championship run better.## He worked so hard to be a great champion. I think a lot of people, maybe they think, ‘Oh, man, his championship run wasn’t successful because of whatever. It wasn’t for lack of trying. Because I saw him every week try his damndest to make something of nothing. It broke all of our hearts, the whole locker room, it broke all of our hearts that that’s where the championship was being taken. Not anything to do with Brock, but because Kofi had worked so hard, and seeing someone work so hard for so long to get this opportunity taken away from him, what would they do to us?" Harwood said. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
