Worrying reports emerge on CM Punk's physical altercation with multiple top AEW stars; current champion allegedly knocked out

AEW
CM Punk has started his world title reign controversially

New reports involving an altercation between CM Punk and members of The Elite following the AEW All Out media scrum have come to the fore.

Punk shot hard for Hangman Page, Colt Cabana, Kenny Omega, and The Young Bucks during the post-All Out media scrum. Following his portion of the media scrum, there was reportedly an altercation with members of The Elite. Backstage producer and CM Punk's trainer Ace Steel was also said to be involved.

Fightful Select have reported that following the scrum, Punk returned backstage, where the said confrontation occurred. Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks were still in the building, and apparently, numerous people were forced to intervene.

The Wrestling Observer have reported that the issue started when Punk started swinging for the Bucks' Matt Jackson.

Ace Steel was also allegedly involved, according to multiple accounts, and some even noted that Nick Jackson had been "rocked or knocked out." According to multiple sources, that was caused by Steel throwing a chair.

Omega and Steel were also said to have their own tussle, which reportedly resulted in the latter biting and grabbing the hair of the former.


What did CM Punk say about the Elite at the AEW All Out media scrum?

Despite having won the AEW World Title in the main event of his hometown event, Punk had issues he wanted to address during the post-show media scrum.

The Second City Saint unleashed his frustrations on Hangman Page, Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks, as well as former friend Colt Cabana. He accused the EVPs (Omega and the Bucks) of having tried to undermine his status as a babyface.

"I’ll tell you why I’m upset about it. If you’re an EVP, you don’t try to middle your top babyface. Try to get your niche audience that is on the internet to try and hate him for some made-up, b******t rumor. Really p***es me off. Stepping on your own d**k, trying to f**king make money, sell tickets, fill arenas. These stupid guys think they’re in Reseda [California]," said CM Punk. [H/T Fightful]

Omega and the Bucks won the AEW Trios Titles to kick off All Out, defeating Hangman Page and The Dark Order in the process. They were scheduled for the media scrum themselves, but the situation with Punk seemingly put an end to that.
