AEW Seemingly Remove CM Punk From AEW Fight Forever Cover
PlayStation recently dropped a fresh trailer for All Elite Wrestling’s first video game, AEW Fight Forever.
Included in the trailer are game review snippets coming from critics such as IGN and Famistu. During the video, AEW stars’ in-game characters are shown, features MJF, Orange Cassidy, Thunder Rosa, Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole, as well as others. The trailer also uses real-life footage of AEW talent, such as Jon Moxley, Chris Jericho, Britt Baker and Hangman Page. Also, Moxley and Page would speak during the trailer, talking about the career modes and create-a-wrestler abilities in the game.
AEW: Fight Forever is going to take you back… Way back to the Golden Age of wrestling games.

What caught the most attention, however, was the graphic revealed at the end of the trailer, with AEW appearing to take CM Punk out of it. CM Punk was previously featured on the cover as the centerpiece, but he hasn’t been on All Elite Wrestling programming since his media scrum brawl after the AEW All Out pay-per-view. CM Punk was last seen publicly doing commentary for an MMA event.
