Former WWE Superstar seemingly confirms parting ways with Tony Khan after a 7-month stint in AEW

In the aftermath of the AEW All Out pay-per-view, Ace Steel has reportedly exited Tony Khan's promotion.

On Twitter, Steel seemingly confirmed his departure from the company. The former AEW personality updated his display picture as he suggested taking up a coaching role in the industry going forward.

Following CM Punk's controversial comments regarding The Elite at the All Out media scrum, a brawl reportedly broke out between Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, Punk, and Steel. Since then, Steel was absent from AEW events before the news of his release broke.

Check out some screengrabs from Ace Steel's private Twitter handle:

Steel worked as a producer for the company and is a close friend to former two-time AEW World Champion, Punk. It was reported that during the backstage brawl at All Out, Steel threw a chair that hit Nick Jackson in the face.

"He was officially released yesterday. That is the first bit of news out of that whole situation in weeks. He was released and there's a lot of other stuff going on but it's just stuff going on." [H/T:WrestlingNews.co]
