For those who may have missed the initial report, you can catch up on it here.
The altercation between CM Punk and Jack Perry took place shortly before Perry’s match with Samoa Joe at the All In pay-per-view event from Wembley Stadium. The incident stemmed from a disagreement between Punk and Perry backstage at Collision a few weeks ago. Punk had rejected Perry’s idea of using real glass in a storyline, which led to tension between the two. Details about the initial disagreement can be found here.
Perry referenced the previous disagreement during his pre-show match with HOOK, where real glass was used in a car spot. He took a clear shot at Punk, saying, “Real Glass Cry Me A River.”
It has been confirmed that Perry was unhappy with how the reports of his disagreement with Punk at Collision were made public. This is why he made the comment about real glass during the pre-show. Additionally, it has been clarified that Perry’s absence from television following the incident was not due to any punishment but rather a planned vacation.
Regarding the altercation at All In, witnesses in the area reported a physical confrontation between Punk and Perry, although the extent of the physicality is unknown. There was a lot of shouting, and security quickly intervened to separate the two. According to one account, Perry bumped into Punk backstage, prompting Punk to push him back. Perry then charged at Punk, leading to a chokehold before the situation was diffused.
PW Insider has now revealed that Perry was ordered to leave Wembley after the incident, while Punk remains backstage.
As the situation continues to develop, stay tuned for further updates.
