AEW has reportedly suspended CM Punk and Jack Perry following their backstage altercation at Sunday’s All In event. Justin Barrasso of SI.com reported the suspensions and added that the situation remains under investigation.
Powell’s POV: AEW has yet to comment publicly on the reported suspensions. It looks like Punk’s status for Sunday’s AEW All Out in his hometown of Chicago is very much in question.
Their last “investigation” didn’t even speak to the wife of one of the people even though she was present in the room during the altercation. I’m sure Tiny Con will fuck this up and not rid himself of the charisma vacuum that is Jack Perry.
BTW, don’t leave out the part where The Elite, who handle everyone’s travel, intentionally fucked up Punk’s hotel reservation and gave him a fake phone number for his supposed car to the hotel.
You’re a lot like Punk: abrasive, and not as intelligent as you think that you are.
Punks not the problem…
Ignoring the usual people on here who ENJOY saying something negative about AEW and Tony Khan, Tony’s problem is he’s too nice. Punk IS a punk, and Tony is being taken advantage of. Hope he finally gets enough and uses Punk as an example and fires him.
Dixie Kahn is worse than his namesake! The biggest difference is that his dad’s pockets are deeper (or at least more open) than her dad’s. Cody knew 30 days into that $h!t show that, like Gob Blueth, “I’ve made a huge mistake.”
No you’re not or you wouldn’t have written this.
NOBODY was picked up from the airport. ALL the talent were left to fend for themselves. It wasn’t Punk being targeted, it was AEW being incompetent.
Does AEW not inform talent of basic travel arrangements?
Another big event overshadowed by conflicts that could have been avoided.
I don’t blame Punk for feeling like he’s being surrounded by children, when Perry mouths off, live during the preshow of their biggest ever PPV, about a backstage incident only devoted dirtsheet readers knew about.
The backstage incident where he was told real glass is dangerous (ask Goldberg), and that storylines require pacing so the audience doesn’t become numb to violence.
And Perry is reportedly friends with the Elite, who beefed with Punk last time. Just like the WWE Kliq tried undermining veterans like Bam Bam Bigelow, and deflating the progress of newcomers like the Rock, the Elite and their cronies do what they will to put themselves over.
