Whether a conflict resolution meeting with Punk/EVPs was scheduled or not, there are obviously some in the locker room who have a perception that there was and that management ducked it. Doesn't matter if it's true or not, if that's the perception people in the locker room have it's still gonna cause problems.

Nobody likes meetings but this is very much the type of situation where an all-hands meeting on Wednesday before the show would make a lot of sense. And preferably a meeting in which Kenny Omega isn't joking about firing half of the locker room.

I'm sure the terms of Punk's firing can't be disclosed to the masses but this really is just something where management should go up there and field and questions/concerns from the rest of the locker room and everyone can just sort their shit and air out whatever grievances remain and just get on the same page once and for all. The only way to not have the perception carrying on that management can't/won't even attempt to resolve conflict is to nip it in the bud and finally address it with everyone head-on.

Close the meeting out with Danielson and/or Moxley doing the type of rah rah speech you know they'd be good at and hopefully everyone can move on.

Of course in the world we live in now you know whatever is said in the meeting (good or bad) would be leaked in about 5 minutes anyway and people will either say "good, let's move on" or "wow, management is talking a load of bullshit" depending on what side of the fence they're on. This dirt sheet bullshit is so exhausting from all angles and I can understand why people would actively try to avoid it.
