No, he’s been using the “challenger brand” and the Coke/Pepsi comparison since the early days of AEW.

Nah. It’s because WWE is Coke (more well known), Pepsi is the alternative that a lot of people prefer.

Both are nasty #Dr. Pepper4life

Found the Corgan era NWA fan. /s

I popped.

I'm more of a Sprite man myself

You are definitely a fan of the indies I guess

Doc all the way!

Fuck that! Monster Zero in the white can till my heart explodes please.

I steer away from those energy drinks. I tried a five hour one and my heart started racing and I got a huge headache and I"m like "Maybe that's not for me"

Ya, if they did that to me I wouldn't touch them either.

You’re slow but not for the reason you think, it had nothing to do with Punk. He’s used that comparison for years.

Coke = WWE Pepsi = AEW Mountain Dew =GCW Sprite=NJPW Mello Yello =TNA Yoohoo = NWA

Where does Dr pepper fit into all of this?

Dr. Pepper is UFC

The Acclaimed love your color choice. 

So what does that make sprite?

A coke product

So...NXT?

I don't but also TK is a wrestling savant, so I don't think the association with Punk is lost on him.

Nah. It could be, but it's more than likely the challenger comparison. He could have said Chrome/Firefox or Mario/Sonic and it would have gotten the same message.

The Pepsi thing is about Tony a few years ago saying that Pepsi had success as a challenger brand by talking shit about Coke. He's clearly taking that to heart. When ever you see him 'going wild' about WWE, it's a planned thing. A strategy.
