At AEW All In London at Wembley Stadium, WWE legend CM Punk and AEW's Jack Perry had an altercation that has been confirmed by Tony Khan. During a post-show media scrum, Khan addressed reports of the physical altercation, but could not provide any further details as the incident is currently being investigated.
Before the pay-per-view went live, Perry had taken a cheap shot at Punk during his Zero Hour match against Hook, by referencing a previous backstage row. Reports from Fightful Select suggest that Perry wanted to use real glass in a segment for AEW Collision, which Punk had intervened on due to safety concerns. This is said to have caused Perry to confront Punk minutes before his match against Samoa Joe.
According to PWInsider, the altercation began with both men shoving each other before Punk caught Perry in a choke. Perry was subsequently asked to leave Wembley Stadium, while Punk remained backstage. After Punk's match finished, he was not featured on screen again.
The infamous 'Brawl Out' between Punk and The Elite trio Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks occurred a year ago, and now AEW's biggest show to date has been marred with yet another backstage row. Everyone is keen to find out the outcome of the investigation and what the consequences will be.
