Brian Pillman Jr. was recently asked about the altercation backstage after AEW All Out, and he stayed diplomatic about it. Pillman was a guest on Cafe de Rene recently and was asked by Rene Dupree about the drama surrounding CM Punk’s media scrum comments and the backstage brawl that resulted in several suspensions. Pillman said he’s a fan of all those involved and wasn’t there, joking that he’ll side with “whoever won the fight.”

“I wasn’t there, so I didn’t get to see who won the fight,” Pillman said (per Fightful). “I’m not going to decide whose side I’m on. Whoever won the fight, that’s whose side I’m on. I’m not going to side with the losers, I’ll say that.”

Getting more serious, he said, “Honestly, it’s over my head. I wasn’t there. I look up to all the guys so I’m like, ‘Damn, I can’t believe my heroes are fighting each other.’ It is what it is. Whenever I’m there, I’m just happy to be there and try not to piss anybody off and get punched myself. I’m sure people have probably wanted to punch me too. Good thing I’ve dodged that. They’re all great guys. Everyone just loves the wrestling and different personalities. Things change. We were in Jacksonville and now we’re on the road and it’s a little more serious and people are starting to clash a little, that’s all.”
