There Was an Incident Between CM Punk and Tony Khan That Happened Behind Closed Doors

As was noted earlier, there is more about the CM Punk situation that has not gotten out yet and could come out at some point.

Wade Keller stated in a PWTorch audio update that he heard that is more that happened between Punk and Tony Khan that witnesses did not see and that might be what Khan was talking about during his press release and statement that aired at the start of AEW Collision, in reference to his safety and life being at risk.

Keller talked about the incident between Punk and Khan that “Tony only told people about.” He said, “My understanding is that there was something behind a closed door also that may come out or may not, depending on how all this plays out. When Punk quit and chewed out Tony, there was an element of that that was not in front of dozens of people that others have said they’re trying to get confirmation on but I’m confident in based on my sourcing, which I won’t get into. I think there’s other elements of it than just the monitors.”

The closed door incident is separate from what happened in front of witnesses, as was described on today’s Wrestling Observer Radio by Dave Meltzer.

Meltzer said the following about the Punk lunging incident that happened in front of witnesses before what happened in Khan’s dressing room: “It was probably stronger than that….lunging was, again, far too kind. If you saw the actual wording of what was said, lunging was like I was toning it down. It was more than lunging.”

Bryan Alvarez said: “And I had heard that when he moved towards Tony, whatever word you want to use, that the monitors there were like monitors that fell on Tony Khan. As you noted, there was security camera footage. So this was not something people were like, well, ‘How come there wasn’t security camera footage of the brawl?’ Well, it’s because that was inside a locker room. They don’t have cameras in the locker room. But this was Gorilla, and they had cameras all over the place.”
