A WWE star has taken a massive jibe at Tony Khan after AEW released the infamous backstage footage from All In: London.

AEW has finally released the footage of CM Punk's brawl with Jack Perry backstage at All In: London last year. The final moments of the footage show Punk lunging at AEW President Tony Khan, who wasn't in the picture.

Shortly after, WWE announcer Corey Graves shared a GIF on Twitter, taking a shot at Khan.

Khan had previously stated that he feared for his safety at a show for the first time during that incident. Khan terminated Punk soon after the incident. Punk later made his big WWE return after nine long years at Survivor Series: WarGames. Punk has been a mainstay on WWE RAW since then.

The release of the All In: London footage has been met with a mixed reaction from Wrestling Twitter. While AEW diehards are on Khan's side and believe that Punk's firing was the right decision, others are siding with the former WWE Champion. Punk later took to his Instagram story and seemingly reacted to the release of the footage.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
