On today’s Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez gave additional details on what happened Sunday night at AEW All In between CM Punk, Jack Perry and others.
Alvarez noted how Miro called BS on the story about Perry initiating the fight with Punk. Today, Miro posted a photo of a taxi cab, which some have interpreted as him taking a shot at Punk. Scroll down to see the tweets from Miro.
Alvarez added, “Apparently, there was another near incident when CM Punk and I heard this from multiple people again. When CM Punk came through the curtain, Miro starts coming up and he’s like ‘what happened with Jack Perry?’ CM Punk is like ‘oh so now you got a problem with me now?’ So they get into an argument and basically it’s like, ‘you wanna step outside?’ I don’t know what happened but I do know they didn’t step outside and CM Punk ended up back in the trainer’s room. But apparently, there was an issue with Miro and CM Punk and that’s why Miro has been all over Twitter the last couple of days…”
On Punk wrestling at AEW All Out in Chicago: “From the WBD side, I was told yesterday that the CM Punk match is off the show. That is what I was told. Later I asked around and people were like yea, they’re suspended, there’s gonna be an investigation. I can confirm there is an investigation going on…”
Alvarez said that it’s possible that the investigation could wrap up by the weekend but it seems unlikely. Alvarez said that most people he’s spoken to believe Punk will be back but a handful of people he spoke with think Punk is done with AEW.
Alvarez said that this incident “put a damper on the whole show for a lot of the talent. You had people that are huge fans of Jungle Boy and they hear all this…”
Alvarez also said that a friend of Punk was so mad about what happened that “they ended up punching a wall and broke their hand or something like that. There was a cloud over this entire show among the talent…”
UPDATE x2: Nick Hausman and PWInsider say they’ve been told that the Miro-Punk incident story is not true.
That’s fake and untrue https://t.co/vX8uBEj5Cd
