Several sources indicate the delicate situation of the world champion after the altercations backstage.
There have been several AEW news that has highlighted the delicate situation seen behind the scenes by several fighters after the AEW All Out PPV. It was the conflict between the vice presidents of AEW, the Bucks, Omega… and the AEW world champion CM Punk along with his trainer Ace Steel while the winners’ press conference was held.
Future of CM Punk in AEW
Several rumors have highlighted a lot of information regarding the behind-the-scenes conflict over the words of the new champion against his teammates, such as Colt Cabana and Hangman Page. A controversial press conference in which more details about the fight in AEW begin to be revealed.
The journalist Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful wanted to give an update on whether Punk could end up outside the company.
Right now, the AEW talent has not been told, anything official. Almost everyone I’ve talked to believes that CM Punk will have to leave or make major changes to stay with the company. A lot of the talent has yet to come from where Dynamite airs, but the heat on Punk is unreal.
I have no official word on that or suspensions. So many “done deal” rumors are running rampant about what’s happening that it’s becoming almost impossible to verify. AEW doesn’t talk; Tony Khan, Punk Bucks, Omega, and Ace Steel don’t, either. Lots of guesswork and expectations.
The problem that Punk has generated is too toxic for the locker room that has seen the true face of Punk and what he wanted to do when signing with AEW. When he won the title and had all the focus of the cameras, being his face, he chose to attack his teammates and not think about his second reign in the company.
