Hathaway said there was a post-All Out plan for his Firm faction that was supposed to include former two-time AEW World Champion CM Punk but due to what happened at the press conference after the show, that never came to fruition.
He also said Punk asked to work with him which meant a lot to him.
"Who we were supposed to directly feud with is no longer in the company. That is one thing I was looking forward to because I was hand chosen for that role. I'm just going to say it: I don't know the specifics, if people are choosing sides or whatever, but for me, the fact that CM Punk said, 'Hey, I want to work with this guy,' that holds a lot of weight and means a lot, regardless of what has happened, what will happen," he said.
Hathaway said that when that plan changed, they had to rewrite everything on the fly as it affected the original purpose of the faction to begin with.
"Everyone in the group is trying to do their best and we're trying to figure out how to make this work because the original purpose isn't the purpose anymore, so it's like, what do you do?," he explained. "Things are slowly gearing up; it's just going to take a few weeks. With the way wrestling is nowadays, I get it. First impressions are everything, but it's a little bit difficult to change people's minds. Most people don't want to see Picasso work on his painting -- they just want to see the sh*t done. That's the phase we're in. We're working on it, but people don't want to see it worked on. They want to see the finished product."
