As previously noted, there was reportedly a physical altercation between members of The Elite and CM Punk after the 2022 AEW Out PPV event when The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega “stormed into” CM Punk’s locker room.

Fightful Select wrote the following about how people within AEW have reacted to the situation…

“Almost unanimously, the talent that we’ve spoken to haven’t been in favor of the way CM Punk handled things at all that evening. Even talent that typically would back Punk up either said that’s not what they would have done, or haven’t commented to us.”

Sean Ross Sapp also noted how “several AEW talent have told us they don’t know how Punk couldn’t be let go after how things went.”

Steven Muehlhausen of DAZN.com also tweeted an update…

“Sources: Sides are being taken in the CM Punk/Elite altercation. Some feel that IF punishment/s comes of this, EVP titles from the talent should be removed because as one said the EVPs should be setting the example for talent. Some also feel Punk should be fired for his actions.”
