There are reportedly “pending legal issues” in AEW due to CM Punk’s incident with The Elite

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.

During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez of F4WOnline.com discussed the situation. Meltzer said the following…

“Nobody’s allowed to talk or wants to talk because there’s pending legal issues based on what happened. It is not a work at all, and you don’t have legal issues and police officers run in there [if it’s a work]. It’s not a work.”

Bryan Alvarez insisted that it’s “100% not a work” and Meltzer continued…

“There’s a lot of legal situations involved, and it can be very messy, and I think that’s one of the reasons why no-one in AEW is allowed to talk about it. From a company standpoint, obviously no-one is talking, but they’re gonna have to at some point.” (quotes courtesy of WrestleTalk.com)

According to Alvarez, nobody has disputed the stories that at least one punch was thrown. In addition to that, neither side have disputed that Ace Steel allegedly threw a chair at Nick Jackson (which was said to have hit Nick in the eye) and “pulled at Kenny Omega’s hair and bit him.” Alvarez noted the following…

“The disagreement between the two sides is that the one side claims that CM Punk threw the punch first – the Young Bucks walked in and he started punching. The other side claims that the Young Bucks stormed in and were the aggressors and that Punk and Ace were defending themselves.”
