CM Punk & The Elite Meeting Canceled Days Prior to AEW All In – The backstage tensions and conflicts between CM Punk and The Elite in AEW had generated significant interest among fans, leading to speculation about a potential on-camera storyline. However, it’s now been revealed that there were plans for an attempted reconciliation between Punk and The Elite before the recent backstage altercation at All In.
According to reports from Haus of Wrestling, there was a scheduled meeting that would have included CM Punk, key members of The Elite (presumably Kenny Omega, the Young Bucks, and “Hangman” Adam Page), and AEW CEO Tony Khan. While the exact date of the meeting is unclear, it was believed to be planned around August 23, potentially coinciding with AEW events in Atlanta.
The purpose of this meeting was to mend fences and resolve the ongoing conflicts between Punk and The Elite. However, the report states that The Elite canceled the meeting at the last minute. This cancelation seemingly added to Punk’s frustrations, and it’s suggested that this situation may have contributed to the backstage altercation between Punk and Jack Perry at All In.
AEW CEO Tony Khan, in his address to the “AEW Collision” audience following Punk’s firing, mentioned that the backstage altercation had put the safety of people backstage, including Khan himself, at risk, which ultimately led to Punk’s termination.
While the door to a Punk vs. Elite feud in AEW may be closed for now, the backstage dynamics and the evolving storyline continue to be topics of great interest among wrestling fans.
