The surreality of the professional wrestling style continues to push new boundaries.
A number of stories indicated that CM Punk and his longtime mentor Ace Metal obtained in an altercation with Kenny Omega and the Younger Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) after AEW’s “All Out” extravaganza on Sunday evening.
In response to Sports activities Illustrated, Punk and Metal might be “suspended, or will now not be with the corporate by the tip of Wednesday” for his or her function within the fracas. The Younger Bucks and Omega are additionally going to be suspended in keeping with the report, as are different individuals Christopher Daniels, Brandon Cutler, Pat Buck and Michael Nakazawa.
That is the place we add the compulsory pause and say that something that occurs in professional wrestling needs to be handled with wholesome skepticism about whether or not it's a part of the lengthy arc of the storyline. For instance, MJF had his notorious pipe bomb interview a number of months in the past the place he ripped AEW and founder Tony Khan, however he returned at “All Out” and was booked as a celebrity and can instantly obtain a world title shot. In WWE, Brock Lesnar was mentioned to have “walked out” of the corporate when Vince McMahon abruptly retired, however then he returned that night to “Smackdown” to trigger a ruckus.
An AEW spokesperson didn't reply to an inquiry on the matter from The Publish. Khan introduced on Wednesday’s “Dynamite” that Punk’s world championship and Omega and the Younger Bucks’ trio championship have been vacated. A event might be held for the world title and can concluded at “AEW Grand Slam” at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sept. 21.
This specific situation arose after Punk’s press convention on Sunday. Punk and Colt Cabana had been educated by Ace Metal and Danny Dominion in Chicago within the early 2000s. Punk gave his notorious first interview after leaving WWE to Cabana in 2014, and the 2 had been sued for defamation by Dr. Christopher M. Amann, WWE’s ringside physician whom Punk basically accused of malpractice on Cabana’s podcast.
In some unspecified time in the future throughout the lawsuit, Punk and Cabana had a falling out and Cabana wound up suing Punk for alleged breach of contract. Punk countersued.
After Punk arrived in AEW, Cabana was moved from there to Ring of Honor, which Khan additionally owns. On the press convention, Punk angrily denied having performed a job on this transfer, and appeared guilty the Younger Bucks and/or Omega — who've EVP titles with the corporate — for leaking the concept that he did to the media.
“The truth that I've to take a seat up right here as a result of we've got irresponsible individuals who name themselves EVPs, and couldn’t f–king handle a Goal, and so they unfold lies and bulls–t and put within the media that I obtained somebody fired when I've f–okay all to do with him,” Punk mentioned. “And the truth that I've to stand up right here and do that in 2022 is f–king embarrassing. If y’all are at fault, f–okay you. In the event you’re not, I apologize.”
WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE
The backstage confrontation and brawl adopted, with Punk and Metal being accused of bodily taking issues too far.
It could be an enormous blow for AEW’s planning if Punk is certainly gone from the corporate. They've been constructing his story with MJF for a few yr, to not point out the large intrigue the promotion may get from reserving matches of Punk versus Omega, Bryan Danielson and Hangman Web page — and now the Younger Bucks — down the street.
Sports activities Illustrated reported that Punk and Khan met on Tuesday to debate what is going on sooner or later.
What occurs from right here in all that is anybody’s guess.
