A Backstage Brawl Leads to Suspensions and a Potential New Matchup
The wrestling world was excited about CM Punk’s appearance at AEW’s All Out. However, a turn of events in London during the All In event has thrown a wrench into those plans. Thanks to a backstage brawl with Jack Perry, Punk’s night didn’t pan out as expected. This altercation has led to suspensions for both wrestlers, leaving AEW in a quandary about the upcoming event.
The aftermath of the brawl has been significant. CM Punk and Jack Perry have been suspended, and an investigation into the incident is underway. AEW’s Tony Khan is actively seeking more details on the matter. This suspension has particularly affected Ricky Starks, who was slated to face CM Punk at All Out. With Punk out of the picture, the question arises: Who will Starks face now?
During his segment on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer shed some light on this. He hinted that Ricky Starks might now face Hangman Page at All Out. Given the past drama between CM Punk and Hangman Page, this potential matchup is dripping with irony. AEW is set to reveal their creative plans for this match on Collision.
The suspension of a star of CM Punk’s magnitude is bound to have ripple effects. Fans eagerly await how AEW navigates this challenge and what the final card for All Out will look like. One thing is sure: In the dynamic world of professional wrestling, the show must go on, and AEW is sure to deliver an event that lives up to the hype.
