The Inside Story: What Led to CM Punk’s AEW Release

A Backstage Brawl, An Investigation, and Punk’s Exit from AEW

The wrestling community was taken aback when news broke out about CM Punk’s release from All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The reason? A backstage altercation with Jack Perry during the AEW All In event. But what transpired behind the scenes that led to such a drastic decision?

During the tumultuous backstage moment, CM Punk reportedly threatened to quit AEW. However, he still went on to wrestle in the Real World title match at Wembley Stadium. This decision was influenced by Samoa Joe, who played a pivotal role in managing the situation. After Punk’s victory in the match, Tony Khan, AEW’s CEO, suspended both Punk and Jack Perry. Punk was informed of this suspension through his attorney.

Dave Meltzer, a renowned wrestling journalist, shed light on the investigation surrounding the Punk-Perry fight. According to Meltzer, the investigation determined that Punk was primarily at fault. A non-wrestler eyewitness played a crucial role in this decision. This witness reported that CM Punk had aggressively confronted Jack Perry, asking if there was a problem between them. Following a heated exchange, Punk allegedly sucker-punched Perry and even attempted to choke him. The situation was quickly diffused, with Khan intervening and urging Punk to release Perry.

As of now, CM Punk has not publicly responded to his release from AEW. The wrestling world is abuzz with speculations and discussions about this incident. With Punk’s undeniable talent and charisma, fans are left wondering about his next move in the wrestling industry.
