AEW Official

CM Punk and Jack Perry have been suspended from All Elite Wrestling, Sports Illustrated has confirmed.

Punk and Perry had a physical altercation at last weekend’s AEW All In 2023 pay-per-view event and neither man attended the post-All In afterparty.

Perry made a reference to using real glass during his “Zero Hour” pre-show match with HOOK, in a nod to Punk taking issue with him wanting to use real glass for a segment on AEW Collision.

The two men reportedly pushed each other backstage before Punk used a chokehold, while Punk’s All In 2023 opponent Samoa Joe tried to mediate the situation.

Following All In 2023, it was reported that there was a belief among talent that both men had been suspended, pending an investigation into the matter.

Sports Illustrated has since confirmed this report, stating,

“CM Punk and Jack Perry have both been suspended for an altercation before the start of the All In pay-per-view, Sports Illustrated has confirmed.”

Bryan Alvarez has also reported that both men have been suspended and will face an investigation into what transpired at Wembley Stadium.
