AEW has released CM Punk. The Second City Saint departs the promotion amid a storm of controversy following his backstage altercation with Jack Perry at last weekend's All In event and his second suspension in the last year.

The timing isn't great, as AEW is set to air Collision live in Chicago tonight, as well as its All Out pay-per-view tomorrow – also in the Windy City. PWInsider has now reported on the initial backstage reactions to Punk's release ahead of tonight's episode of Collision.
The report states that the reactions from talent "depend on the person." Some are unhappy about it, while others feel it was the right decision. It's noted that some of the latter are just happy that AEW President Tony Khan finally made a decision, and they are ready to move on and bring the attention of the wrestling world back to the company and its television shows.

His experience goes beyond wrestling, with five years as an editor for several independent publishing houses and three years as a captioning specialist.
Jacob's first memory of pro wrestling dates back to Sting vs. Ric Flair for the World Heavyweight Championship at Great American Bash 1990. He later began writing for a newsletter and blog at the University of North Texas, and his love of wrestling naturally led him to seek opportunities in the media.
His favorite wrestler is The Icon, as he feels Sting has evolved throughout his career on a parallel path with his own growth as a person. He was Jacob's childhood hero and teenage idol, and now he makes him less afraid of getting older.
Jacob ensures relevance and accuracy in his articles by working hard to maintain his ideals and objectivity without sacrificing his unique voice, inspiring other writers in the section to follow suit.
Jacob’s non-wrestling interests include Anime, video games, and fantasy novels.
