As previously noted, the fight started after CM Punk blasted Colt Cabana, Hangman Page, and the AEW EVPs (The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega) at the media scrum. Regarding the EVPs, he alleged that they spread lies about him through the media, and they couldn’t manage Target.
This led to the fight where Punk allegedly threw punches at Matt Jackson, Steel threw a chair at Nick Jackson, and Steel was biting and pulling Omega’s hair. AEW producer Ace Steel was also involved in the fight.
It’s expected that Steel and Punk will be suspended or fired by the promotion.
