AEW fires CM Punk, a move which has surprised some but that for others came as no surprise given the events at last Sunday's All In pay-per-view.

AEW issued a statement concerning Punk's termination.

Many stories emerged following the alleged altercation between CM Punk and Jack Perry. There were different takes on the details of the rumored dust-up.

During the post-show media scrum, AEW President Tony Khan acknowledged that an altercation had taken place at All In.

AEW launched an investigation but it's unknown if the results will be disclosed. It was believed that there were many cameras at Wembley Stadium. This likely made it easier to compile evidence.

There were questions about Punk's status for AEW's All Out pay-per-view (which is taking place in Punk's hometown of Chicago). Rumor had it that Punk was supposed to wrestle Ricky Starks for the "Real World's Championship" held by Punk. However, Tony Khan advised reporters he had not made a decision. That point is moot of course.
