In a move that sent reverberations throughout the wrestling world, AEW made headlines by airing previously unseen backstage footage capturing a real-life altercation between former AEW star CM Punk and Jack Perry from last year’s AEW All In PPV.
This decision, orchestrated by AEW’s Tony Khan, has sparked a flurry of reactions and discussions within the wrestling community.
The altercation ultimately led to Punk’s departure from All Elite Wrestling, marking his return to WWE at the Survivor Series 2023 PLE after a decade-long absence, much to the surprise of fans worldwide.
The airing of the backstage footage, previously unseen by the public, adds a new layer of intrigue to the ongoing saga between Punk and AEW.
The Young Bucks, serving as AEW’s Executive Vice Presidents, took center stage by showcasing the security footage on a recent episode of Dynamite. This move not only stirred up public opinion but also generated significant publicity for Tony Khan’s promotion.
During last night’s AEW Collision, tensions surrounding the altercation reached a boiling point as The Young Bucks, alongside ally Kazuchika Okada, squared off against FTR and Pac in a trios match.
Amidst the electrifying action inside the ring, chants of “CM Punk” echoed throughout the arena, serving as a direct response to the recent airing of the altercation footage.
