Wrestler CM Punk reacts to leaked video showing a real altercation with his WWE rival during a backstage fight.

CM Punk, a well-known figure in the wrestling world, has recently made headlines after being fired by AEW due to an incident that occurred backstage. The incident, which involved a physical altercation with Jack Perry, son of the late Riverdale actor Luke Perry, was leaked by AEW owner Tony Khan during an episode of AEW Dynamite.

The footage showed Punk shoving Perry and appearing to put him in a chokehold, before being pulled away by other wrestlers. This led to his dismissal from AEW, and just a few months later, he made a shocking return to WWE, one of the biggest surprises in wrestling history.

The decision to air the video seems to have backfired, as fans were heard chanting Punk's name and questioning Khan's intentions. In response, Punk posted a photo of George W. Bush with a thumbs up and the words "Mission accomplished."

Before the footage was aired, Khan had explained his decision, stating that it was in the best interest of AEW and their upcoming pay-per-view event. The footage was shown as part of the buildup to a match between The Young Bucks and their friends, FTR.

This comes after Punk's explosive interview on The MMA Hour, where he addressed the incident with Perry for the first time. According to Punk, the confrontation happened after he had advised Perry not to use real glass in a wrestling stunt, but Perry went against his advice and even mocked him during their match at Wembley Stadium.

Punk's last AEW match was against Samoa Joe, just moments after the backstage altercation. He then made his return to WWE, where he is currently involved in a high-profile rivalry with Drew McIntyre, costing him the World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania 40.
