According to a new report, CM Punk and Jack Perry have been suspended by AEW.

During Jack Perry’s match with HOOK on the All In pre-show, the former Jungle Boy looked into the camera and said, “It’s real glass, cry me a river.” His words were in direct reference to reports that he and CM Punk had gotten into an argument on an early episode of Collision that stemmed from Perry wanting to use real glass as part of a spot and Punk putting a stop to that.

While accounts differ on what exactly went down once Perry came backstage after losing the FTW Championship to HOOK, it’s been reported that an altercation took place between Perry and Punk and that Perry was sent home from the arena while Punk went on to defeat Samoa Joe in the opening bout of the main show. Punk reportedly met with security after his bout and left Wembley Stadium of his own accord as he believed it would be better for everyone involved.

AEW President Tony Khan alluded to the incident during a post-show media scrum and said that an investigation was being launched. He refused to comment further.

Will CM Punk And Jack Perry Be At AEW All Out?

The latest incident involving CM Punk comes just one week before All Elite Wrestling returns to his hometown of Chicago to present All Out on September 3rd. According to a new report from Bryan Alvarez, Punk and Perry might not be part of the upcoming event as the belief within the company is that they’ve both been suspended until the investigation into their altercation is complete. Alvarez wrote on social media:

“The belief within AEW is that Punk and Jack are both suspended pending the results of an investigation, which would mean neither will work All Out.”

In a new update, multiple sources have coobborated this report and that All Out plans are now up in the air.
