WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross comments on CM Punk's departure from AEW

WWE Hall of Famer and AEW commentator Jim Ross has weighed in on the release of CM Punk from All Elite Wrestling after his backstage altercation with Jack Perry at All In, leading to his termination.

Speaking on a live stage show as part of Premier Streaming Networks' Starrcast 6, Ross was asked how he would have handled the situation in AEW.

"I don't have any idea. I don't have all the facts – neither do you. Bottom line is, it happened. The show must go on, folks. And that's up to these young men and women tonight to get in a huddle and give each other support and bust their a** for the greatest show that people never expected," said JR.

The former world champion's sudden departure from the promotion was announced just one day before the All Out pay-per-view by Tony Khan on Collision.
