The world of professional wrestling is no stranger to backstage drama and heated confrontations. And it seems that the latest incident involves two prominent figures in the industry – CM Punk and Jack Perry. The two got into a physical altercation backstage at the AEW All In pay-per-view, just moments before Punk’s opening matchup with Samoa Joe.
The altercation between Punk and Perry can be traced back to an incident that occurred backstage at Collision several weeks ago. Perry had suggested using real glass in an angle, but Punk shot down the idea. This disagreement seems to have fueled the tension between the two, leading to the confrontation at All In.
During Perry’s pre-show FTW Championship match with HOOK, he made a clear reference to the incident by saying, “Real Glass Cry Me A River.” This was a direct shot at Punk and his refusal to incorporate real glass into their storyline.
Details of the physical altercation vary depending on the source. One account states that Punk put Perry in a chokehold, while others claim there was a shoving exchange or a pie-face incident. However, it has been confirmed by multiple outlets that both Punk and Perry were eventually asked to leave by security.
AEW President Tony Khan addressed the incident during a post-All In media scrum, acknowledging that something had happened and stating that an investigation was underway. It has been reported that Punk has not spoken to Khan since the altercation.
According to a report by F4WOnline’s Bryan Alvarez, there is a belief that both Perry and Punk will face suspensions as a result of their actions. This means that neither will be able to participate in this Sunday’s All Out pay-per-view in Chicago. However, this report has yet to be confirmed by any official sources.
Additional details about the incident have emerged, as reported by PW Torch and confirmed by Fightful. Punk apparently threatened to quit after the altercation but managed to compose himself and go through with his match against Samoa Joe. The report also mentions that Punk has expressed his frustration, stating that he “hates this place” because of all the drama. It is worth noting that many people within AEW believe that Punk is equally responsible for the ongoing drama.
Both Punk and Perry did not attend the AEW All In afterparty. Punk left London on Monday afternoon, adding to the speculation surrounding the aftermath of the incident.
As this is an ongoing story, Wrestling Headlines will continue to provide updates on the situation. Stay tuned for the latest developments in this backstage clash between CM Punk and Jack Perry.
