More Details On Suspensions Following AEW Backstage Brawl Involving CM Punk, Young Bucks, and Kenny Omega, Note On Possible Creative Plans

As previously reported, there was a brawl backstage after AEW All Out featuring CM Punk, Ace Steel, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega and others. The brawl reportedly resulted from comments made by Punk during his post-show media scrum. A report from yesterday noted that suspensions are coming and none of the participants would be featured on tonight’s AEW Dynamite. Sports Illustrated has more details on the situation including who has been suspended from the company.

That list of suspended wrestlers and staff incudes Omega, Nick and Matt Jackson, Pat Buck, Christopher Daniels, Michael Nakazawa and Brandon Cutler. According to several sources, Punk and Steel will either be suspended or they will not be in AEW by the end of today. Punk met with Tony Khan yesterday.

An external third-party investigation will be made to find out exactly what happened.

Hangman Page, who was target by Punk in his speech, had already left the building by the time the incident occurred.

It was noted that while some have thought this could be used for a storyline feud between the Elite and, say, Punk and FTR, this will not likely happen. A source suggested that there will be no storylines coming from this situation.
