AEW Parts Ways with CM Punk

Published on

The Aftermath of a Backstage Confrontation Leads to Punk’s Release

In a surprising turn of events, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has announced the release of one of its marquee stars, CM Punk. This decision comes in the wake of a backstage altercation involving Punk and Jack Perry during the AEW All In event.

CM Punk, whose real name is Phillip Brooks, was suspended from AEW following the aforementioned confrontation. The incident garnered significant attention, prompting AEW to conduct a week-long internal investigation. The findings of this investigation led to a unanimous recommendation by the AEW discipline committee, in consultation with outside legal counsel, to terminate Punk’s contract “with cause.”

Tony Khan, the CEO, General Manager, and Head of Creative of AEW, confirmed the termination, marking the end of Punk’s association with the company. Interestingly, despite the tensions, Punk went on to wrestle in the Real World title match at Wembley Stadium. Following his victory, he was informed of his suspension through his attorney. The situation escalated further when Punk expressed a desire to confront another AEW talent, Miro.

As AEW gears up for its All Out event, the company will be moving forward without the “Second City Savior.” This development has left fans and industry insiders speculating about Punk’s future in professional wrestling. With his undeniable talent and charisma, it remains to be seen where CM Punk will land next.
