UPDATE: A new report has a few additional details on the current statuses of the AEW All Out brawl suspensions following several being lifted. As previously noted, the quartet of Michael Nakazawa, Pat Buck, Christopher Daniels and Brandon Cutler are no longer suspended with Buck working last night’s AEW Dynamite. Fightful Select reports that Daniels and Nakazawa are now cleared to participate in matches at Tokyo Game show, where AEW Fight Forever will have a presentation. Everyone the site spoke with said they believed that the four were only preliminarily suspended as a precaution until things got settled.

The report notes that there is no timetable as of this week for The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega’s returns from suspension. Omega already planned to have the week off. As always, CM Punk and Ace Steel’s statuses are unclear, with Punk out due to injury. Steel was not at Dynamite this week.

The site notes that a couple of other names were nearby but not suspended, with the belief (though not confirmed) is that suspensions weren’t needed as they weren’t physically involved in the situation at all. AEW still has yet to confirm the suspensions.

ORIGINAL: As previously reported, Pat Buck returned to work for AEW at last night’s Dynamite taping after his suspension following All Out. A brawl broke out after the show and those involved, including those trying to break it up, were suspended pending an investigation. That included CM Punk, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, Buck, Christopher Daniels, Michael Nakazawa and Brandon Cutler.

During the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, it was reported that suspensions have been lifted for Daniels, Cutler and Nakazawa. All three are free to return to work, although as noted, Nakazawa and Daniels have prior engagements in Japan first. The investigation likely showed they were only trying to break things up.

Punk, the Bucks, Omega and Steel are still suspended at this time.

It was noted that Omega is in Japan but will not be involved in presenting AEW Fight Forever at Tokyo Game Show due to his suspension.
