Hangman Page’s promo on Punk from May brought the issue to a head, but he’s not mentioned in SI’s report. It doesn’t seem the initial suspensions will cover the entire months long drama reportedly caused by resentment and rumor over AEW’s handling of Punk’s former friend Colt Cabana after his arrival in the company last summer. It’s not specified if that will be solely focused on determining responsibility for the fight and actions within it, or if it will be an examination of the larger issues which led to Punk’s incendiary comments at the post-PPV presser. Sources tell Barrasso an external third-party investigation will be conducted. Punk met with Khan on Tuesday, so the two had an opportunity to discuss how that exit could be handled. Multiple sources have shared that Punk and Ace Steel will either be among those suspended, or will no longer be with the company by the end of Wednesday. The list of those receiving suspensions includes Omega, Matt and Nick Jackson, Pat Buck, Christopher Daniels, Michael Nakazawa, and Brandon Cutler. Punishment for that backstage fight, Sports Illustrated has learned, will include suspensions for every person involved. According to Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso, AEW owner & president Tony Khan has made some decisions about the fight that broke out backstage between his World champion CM Punk and his Executive Vice Presidents & Trios champs The Elite (The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega) after the All Out press scrum during the early hours of Monday morning.
