Update On AEW Suspension Rumors
Added 2023-08-29 12:15:16 +0000 UTCCM Punk and Jack Perry are suspended, per SI and Bryan Alvarez.
There was word early Monday that both Perry and CM Punk were suspended pending an investigation of their physical incident at AEW All In. We'd heard rumors of a suspension before it was said that some top names had even spoke to CM Punk themselves. Bryan Alvarez posted the news on Monday, which Sports Illustrated confirmed on Tuesday.
This affects immediate plans for creative, including this weekend's AEW All Out card, where Punk had been planned to perform. There is no word on the length of the suspensions.
In an update: we're told that CM Punk at least has not been informed of a suspension.

I stand by Punk not choking anybody out and I haven't backtracked shit. You can escalate a situation to violence without choking anybody.

2023-08-31 17:53:48 +0000 UTCWhat I hate so much is that he has crap impulse control. That leads him to buck societal norms in ways that are absolutely, undeniably good--he loudly supports trans and reproductive rights, and particularly in places where it is taboo to do so as loudly as he does. I love him for it, and wish that others were as loud and as open about it. But that same lack of impulse control also leads to him getting into stupid situations and stupid fights and running his mouth in really counterproductive ways and torching bridges that shouldn't be torched, and I legit would not want to work with him or anywhere near him because that contrary streak also seems to make him a very difficult person to know. I didn't take his side in Brawl Out and it sounds like everybody involved in this one is kind of an asshole, but Punk is to blame for the sharp escalation. It sucks because I really like him as a person, but dudes has got to go because this is absolutely bonkers, and it all stems from the same things that make me like him so much.

2023-08-30 00:05:07 +0000 UTCThat “20 something” is not a kid, he is wrestling for the second biggest wrestling promotion in the world. So don’t use age as an excuse, if he can’t use his brain to act like a proper adult then he doesn’t deserve to wrestle anywhere. If you want to blame anyone then blame both men for this situation. They both are in the wrong, although the issue first came from the “20 something” for wanting to use real glass that could seriously injured himself or his opponent.
Sokun Ros
2023-08-30 00:02:15 +0000 UTCHate to break it to you pal, I ain’t a Punk fan. But I ain’t a sheep who hate the guy on everything that he does either. Suspend both guys for all I care, but Jack went out of his way to do business for himself by making a mocking remark on live TV and infront of 80K plus fan first, and this deserves punishment. While we’re on this topic, Punk should have also been punished when he did the same thing to Hangman awhile ago.

2023-08-29 23:44:13 +0000 UTCTony needs to open the show by apologizing for allowing such atrocious behavior to go unabated and promise that no talent will ever get to upstage the events, audience and company again by firing the center of all ensuing controversies over the last year. Prove to the fans, and especially the talent who are getting overinflated egos that you can be the “number 1 guy” and still get your ass fired if you have shit behavior and attitude.

2023-08-29 21:02:49 +0000 UTCMoxley wasn't taken a break until after All Out and that's assuming he would not win the International Title. Plus, I'm fully convinced wrestling is Mox's vacation at this point.
Forceofwilliam
2023-08-29 20:56:35 +0000 UTCI don’t understand how anyone can defend Phil at this point. They give him leeway and don’t care that he goes out on Live Television and makes his opponent look like a total bitch by calling them to the ring, when they’re not even at the show, or by shitting on their supposed inability to sell merch after the show, which any person with a modicum of knowledge of how the internet works, is aware that video will spread amongst wrestling fans on social media. But somehow someone saying “it’s real glass, cry me a river” is grounds for getting pie faced and choked because “they were asking for it.” Pathetic. Fire him, and if there are grounds for it, sue him for good measure. He has brought nothing but ill intent to his tenure with AEW.

2023-08-29 20:48:58 +0000 UTCPunk will probably post more about how much money he's made the company on his Instagram to ensure he doesn't.
CSDX
2023-08-29 20:38:33 +0000 UTCIn my experience, it largely depends. Up until the Brawl Out, I've seen a ton of AEW fans outright deny anything going wrong, especially since Punk posted a pic of him and Matt & Nick(which looked photoshopped to me, but whatever) celebrating his 1 year anniversary there, which they used as proof that nothing was going wrong. And then the media scrum happened and they had to eat crow.
CSDX
2023-08-29 20:37:09 +0000 UTCPunk: *shits on the company, starts fight over it* Also Punk: *shits on Jack Perry, starts fight over it* Others in AEW: Yeah, Punk really has been the cause of all sorts of issues the company's been having. Empty-headed dumbfuck Punk stans: NO!! It's everyone ELSE that's the problem here! Context: JustAlyx on Twitter "inspired" this comment, let's say.
CSDX
2023-08-29 20:34:37 +0000 UTCMark, I think they're trying to point out that the person in charge of the travel arrangements for AEW is a friend of the Bucks (he even references them in his Twitter bio). Not taking a side here just providing that context.
Allyssa Golden
2023-08-29 20:13:32 +0000 UTCMoxley sighs and cancels another vacation. I sometimes wonder if there are AEW fans who just watch the TV product and the PPVs and have no idea about any of the rest of it. Is that even possible nowadays?

2023-08-29 19:48:04 +0000 UTCMy money is on them working with Legal to make sure the i’s are dotted and t’s crossed. If anything, Punk has shown he’s not afraid to bring in lawyers of his own.
Alice Hoffman
2023-08-29 19:42:44 +0000 UTCI wonder how big of a say Warner Brothers had in keeping Punk around, since he is money to them. It’s pure conjecture on my part, but it wouldn’t surprise me in the least to hear they (WB) kinda put TK in a tough spot.
Alice Hoffman
2023-08-29 19:38:56 +0000 UTCchristopher daniels is the head of talent, so maybe Punk ignored his calls since he doesnt even want him at collision.

Phillip_ino
2023-08-29 19:04:30 +0000 UTCI did this as a reply but feel it's better on its own. What I take from everything I've read. Punk pointed out using real glass was risky to Perry which there's nothing wrong with pointing out. The next time glass was used with Perry it was real and he decided to point it out onscreen. Whether it was only intended as a nod at the reports as others suggest or actually was a snipe at Punk... it was taken as a snipe by Punk. Punk reacted poorly. Both feel to blame though because Perry even if he wasn't intending to take a snipe at Punk... did he think Punk wouldn't react like this after all the drama caused since last year? Perry didn't need to risk poking the bear and Punk should have led by example and not gotten physical. So count me in those not showing either any favor here. The biggest show they have done is not the time for a young guy to be a little shit winking at the camera or the older guy to be a prick. Put your co-workers and the positive legacy you should want to leave for the show first. Now forever All In will have this ugly side-note.

VanTwinblade
2023-08-29 18:23:15 +0000 UTCI agree. For a company of this size there's no excuse any more to not communicate with talent. There's a lack of leadership in the company. I hope so too. But I doubt it at this moment.

Ricardo Name TBD
2023-08-29 18:18:56 +0000 UTCIf Punk hadn't had issues with the Head of Talent Relations, he probably would have received it already. If he is petty enough to start physical altercations with people, he sure is petty enough to block Christopher Daniel's phone number.
Forceofwilliam
2023-08-29 18:10:59 +0000 UTCProbably because it wasn't that serious. It was hit nodding those of us who had heard that report before they did a similar stunt. Punk decided it was a shot against him and acted like a child. Who the fuck gets physical over that kind of thing rather than just rolling their eyes even if they think it's somehow an insult to them
Ryan Cremeans
2023-08-29 18:09:44 +0000 UTCKnowing Punk he was told about it but is saying he wasn't, or it could be he hasn't heard because he sent the head of Talent Relations home before he could tell him. They need to just have Megha handle all interactions with Punk at this point
Matty Nice
2023-08-29 18:07:07 +0000 UTCHonestly surprised more people here aren't upset with Perry. Perry chose the biggest show in AEW history to go into business for himself or send a receipt? Are you serious? That's what was going through his head before performing in front of 80k? A spot that half the roster would have killed to be in, he chose to do that? Stupid and unnecessary

Christopher Bladel
2023-08-29 17:50:43 +0000 UTCIn the now infamous Colt Cabana podcast he said he lost a WWE merchandise royalty check in his couch and didn’t find it until after it had expired, so maybe he should shake out the rug or something and he’ll find a letter from AEW legal.
Christopher Bladel
2023-08-29 17:48:40 +0000 UTCNot shocking at all. First, you’re right that the company (for all its resources) is NOT running like a finely tuned corporate machine. Second, the contracts may have certain requirements before discipline is imposed. Third, this could be a difference in interpretation (being told, “Stay home, we’ll contact you after the investigation” isn’t an official suspension, but maybe someone viewed it as such and ran to the press. Fourth, Punk is idiosyncratic. This could be him putting his fingers in his ears saying, “No one OFFICIALLY told me to my face so it’s not true.” As with everything in wrestling, what we don’t know is always a hell of a lot more than what we actually know. Just glad SRS is always clear to say which “side” is telling which story. Punk’s story now is he hasn’t officially been notified of a suspension. Highly probable. Also highly unlikely Punk believes he’s welcome to show up at TV this week. So is it a suspension? No matter what it is, I don’t see anyone placing bets on Punk or Perry being allowed into the building tomorrow or any other time this week.
Christopher Bladel
2023-08-29 17:45:13 +0000 UTCPunk only gets mail from the Pony Express. That's why he actually hates Hangman because of the horse in his entrance reminds him of packages being late.

Raymond Slover
2023-08-29 17:37:44 +0000 UTCI think what Jack Perry did on TV was bush league. Period. Unprofessional? maybe. But in reality, how many, or what percentage of wrestling fans had any idea what he was referring to? That being said, CM Punk was dead wrong for broaching the matter prior to his match. Period. Both should be dealt with accordingly. But in reality what did Jack Perry do that affected the show? He made a comment, didn't reference anyone in his comment, and the vast majority of the people watching this show had absolutely no idea what he was referring to, if he was even referring to anything. CMPunk is proving to be a man of thin skin who gets his panties in a wad far too much
Mark Bureau
2023-08-29 17:36:52 +0000 UTCThe update is pretty shocking tbh. 4 years in and the individuals concerned are finding out about the suspension from the media rather than from legal/talent relations.

Forceofwilliam
2023-08-29 16:45:50 +0000 UTCThe Parallels are kind of nuts nearly a full year after Punk was suspended from Brawl out from all out. He is now suspended after Brawl in from all in. I honestly think Tony Khan is going to have to make a choice soon. You either keep Punk around which will lead to low moral for the company & risk more backstage fights happening which continues to put a black eye on the company. Phil already now put two black eyes on the company from all out last year & all in this year. Option 2 you get rid of him. Honestly if I’m Tony Khan I’m getting rid of Punk within the space of a year he has hurt the company image & put a negative spotlight on them. I’ve seen alot of people try just to blame Jack Perry & while he does own some of the blame & deserves to be suspended. Punk has been going into business for himself & shooting on the Elite since he returned calling then & there fans soft. The minute someone like Perry shoots on him Punks reaction is to fight him. Maybe Phil don’t shoot on others if your fragile eago can’t take been shooted on in return. Even before that when Ryan Nemith called him the softest man in wrestling Phil confronted him & banned him from collisions. Along with not allowing guys like Adam Page Matt Hardy & Christopher Daniels work those shows because of their closeness with The Elite despite the fact Daniels is head of talent. I said Punk returning would bite AEW & Tony Khan on the ass & I was right. I wish I wasn’t right. This also exposes Tony Lack of leadership as he can’t control his locker room. There an old saying those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it & neither Punk or Tony have learned brawl out last year. While I don’t like taking sides Punk has been the common demonator in all these fights & if Tony keeps him around & this keeps happening it’s going to hurt the company & do irreversible damage to AEW

Kris Hill
2023-08-29 13:14:53 +0000 UTCYou dont attack people. Which from all accounts he did. Go get into a coworkers face and then push them and see if anyone cares why.

2023-08-29 13:14:17 +0000 UTCPeople need to remember Punk is a veteran and wants so badly to be the locker room leader Undertaker was. Perry arguing with people about the glass spot, shouldn't have ever been leaked. I'm sure Punk wanted to and did stuff that was dangerous when he was a young talent trying to get over. There was no real reason to have his team leak out Perry was throwing a "temper tantrum". Perry is a young talent, Punk is a veteran who is old enough to be a boss. Leaking that information is damaging to Perry, who is trying to get over as a heel. While what Perry did with that spot in the match was cringe, childish and unprofessional, he was just stooping to the level Punk has been operating on for over a year. If Punk is ready to fight over seemingly anything, that's just something you can't have in a professional wrestling setting. The only thing Punk should have been concerned with at the moment Perry came backstage, is his own match with Joe. Punk should have talked to him after his match, when both men's testosterone and adrenaline levels come back to normal.

2023-08-29 13:08:49 +0000 UTCTo be fair, I’d be pissed too if I was looking out for the safety of my coworkers and they threw it in my face by doing something stupid on purpose, then talking shit to me about it. Honestly I don’t think Punk is the issue here.

2023-08-29 13:01:43 +0000 UTCThis sucks, but it is what it is. It sucks for the fans in Chicago who bought tickets to the shows this week also. I'm not gonna let this crap hurt my enjoyment though. AEW has wrestlers that can step up in his place and still put on a good show.

2023-08-29 13:01:21 +0000 UTCReal glass , cry me a river. Goes on to bust both him and Hook open the hardway on the real glass. I’m not sure about Punk, but Jack Perry deserves to be suspended.

2023-08-29 12:31:05 +0000 UTCWell, we know how Tony handles “investigations.” So both guys have to sign NDA’s and then Khan ignores it for 5 months.

2023-08-29 12:19:19 +0000 UTCThis is unfortunate. Assuming they want a world title defended on the show and with this news MJF being the only option, who do you have him face?
