AEW All In Incident Footage Sparks Backlash; CM Punk Seemingly Responds – The Young Bucks made a bold move on tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite by airing security footage of the backstage altercation between CM Punk and Jack Perry from last summer’s All In London pay-per-view. This incident ultimately led to Punk’s departure from AEW and his subsequent return to WWE. While the segment aimed to add fuel to the ongoing storyline between The Young Bucks and FTR, it received significant backlash from fans on social media, particularly Twitter.
Many fans criticized AEW’s decision to incorporate the segment into the storyline, viewing it as an attempt to discredit Punk, following his recent interview where he openly criticized Tony Khan and the AEW organization. Some argued that the segment lacked substance and merely confirmed what Punk had already disclosed in previous statements. Despite speculation about other events that transpired during the All In evening, the footage shown failed to provide conclusive evidence to support Tony Khan’s earlier claims of feeling threatened for his safety.
In response to AEW’s decision, Punk shared “his thoughts” on Instagram, posting a photo of former U.S. President George W. Bush with the sign “Mission Accomplished” in the background. This cryptic message hints at Punk’s feelings regarding AEW’s handling of the situation.
As for the impact on AEW’s television ratings, it remains to be seen whether the controversial segment will have any significant effect.
Here are just a few tweets from fans:
