Has AEW grown too big?

The problem is that the promotion is ultimately a vanity project for the EVPs. Keep in mind that AEW has a bunch of idiots in charge who'd rather keep themselves in the limelight. The Punk situation highlights it.

Punk is a blowhard who overestimated his ability to draw a big crowd to WWE but is the type of talent who can increase AEWs reach. Like it or not, his segments seemed to do better than any segment involving Bucks or Omega.

The facts are that the Executive Vice Presidents stable accompanied by their valet, also known as their legal head, barged into a locker room and engaged Punk in a fight with the wife of Ace Steel present in response to things that the talent said in a company sanctioned and broadcasted event right next to Tony who could at any point have cut the cameras. The talent's main complaint was that certain talent, mainly Page, were bringing up personal legal matters and implying Punk got Colton fired. He then is upset that the stable of EVPs didn't squash that.

The EVPs then got mad at Punk for doing the same thing Page did and engaged him in a fight.

And people actually think Punk is somehow the desperate one in this situation when he could file a civil suit against a billionaire who is ultimately in charge of his EVPs and legal head.
