CM Punk & Tony Khan Had Intense Backstage Confrontation, Punk Fined – New revelations regarding the backstage incident at AEW All In on Sunday continue to surface, shedding light on the potential strain between CM Punk and Tony Khan.
According to a recent report from Wade Keller at PWTorch, the situation leading up to the confrontation with Jack Perry was exacerbated by Punk’s pre-existing frustration. It’s been disclosed that Punk was already upset due to not receiving airport transportation from anyone at AEW. However, it’s worth noting that Punk was unaware at the time that nobody was provided airport pickups, suggesting that he wasn’t being singled out by the company.
Reportedly, Punk confronted Tony Khan in his locker room in front of others in a manner described as “heated and intense.” The interaction is said to have involved Punk expressing his displeasure to Khan in strong and critical language.
The incident almost led to Punk considering not going out for his match with Samoa Joe, as previously mentioned by Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live. Alvarez added that Samoa Joe was notably angered by the situation and had to convince Punk to follow through with the scheduled match. Despite initial hesitation, Punk quickly agreed to proceed with the match as planned. Following the match, communication between Punk and Khan was reportedly scarce.
As highlighted earlier, both CM Punk and Jack Perry are currently under suspension as a result of their altercation. The details surrounding the incident are still under scrutiny, and the exact duration of the suspensions remains undisclosed.
Keller’s report also touches on previous fines imposed on Punk for unrelated incidents. According to PWInsider, it’s believed that Punk faced a “five figure range” fine for comments he made off-air about Hangman Adam Page after the Collision event.
