During the April 10th 2024 edition of AEW Dynamite, The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson & Nicholas Jackson) presented backstage footage of CM Punk’s backstage altercation with Jack Perry from AEW All In 2023. The footage, which contained no audio, showed Punk approaching Perry and the two had words for several seconds. Punk attacked Perry and things were quickly broken up.

At New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Windy City Riot event on Friday night, Perry had a match against Shota Umino. Perry mocked Punk by wearing a ring jacket with “cry me a river” written on it. Perry used Punk’s “go to sleep” taunt and then went for a GTS but Umino was able to counter it.

Umino ended up pinning Perry to win the match.
