Samoa Joe addresses the AEW All In altercation between CM Punk and Jack Perry

As previously noted, AEW terminated the contract of CM Punk following his backstage altercation with Jack Perry at the All In PPV event. Samoa Joe was said to have been “furious” about the incident and CM Punk reportedly had to be talked into doing their match.

While speaking to NYPost.com, Joe publicly commented on the incident…

“For the most part, I haven’t read what’s been portrayed. There’s been so much said. I’m not the one to go out there and try to debunk everything. I know we had the initial incident. Everybody rallied. Everybody got together. Got their heads together and lined up and got ready to do the show and we went out there and we did the show. That really was the focus at that point in time. We got a massive show to do and we got fans out there rabid to see that happen. So it’s important that we step up and do it and it’s important that we did, and I was proud to be a part of that.”

“I wasn’t really affected by the moment. I was more focused on getting the show back on track and getting us going because it was bell time.”
