Report – CM Punk & Tony Khan Involved In Heated Exchange At AEW All In 2023

We have even more details on what went down before the AEW All In 2023 pay-per-view event went on the air, including potential issues between Tony Khan and CM Punk.

According to a report from Wade Keller of PWTorch, CM Punk was already said to have been pissed off about not being picked up at the airport by anyone associated with AEW. Instead, he took a train to his hotel and got lost along the way. It’s worth noting that Punk wasn’t aware at the time that no one from AEW was picked up at the airport due to travel issues and shuttles not being available. So he wasn’t being singled out.

The report notes that Punk reportedly approached Tony Khan in front of other people in his locker room. Punk approached in a “heated, intense manner” and “chewed out Khan with harsh phrasing.”

We previously reported here on eWn that CM Punk almost didn’t come out for his match with Samoa Joe to start the show after his backstage fight with Jack Perry. Samoa Joe was reportedly furious about the situation and had to convince Punk to go out to the ring. While Joe was able to calm Punk down enough to agree to the match, both men were not happy about the situation that had just taken place. It is said that as of Tuesday morning, CM Punk and Tony Khan had not spoken.

Both CM Punk and Jack Perry are suspended from AEW, with Punk being informed of his suspension through his lawyer. One source said CM Punk appeared to be saying “goodbye” while in the ring and walking to the back just after his match with Joe. There are some rumors that the relationship between CM Punk, Tony Khan, and AEW is beyond repair at this point.

CM Punk and Jack Perry will not be wrestling at All Out 2023 in Chicago, IL on Sunday unless the suspensions are lifted. Of course, Punk is a big draw in his hometown of Chicago.

Finally, it was added that CM Punk was fined for previous incidents. One source said that Punk was fined in the “five figure range” for his off-air comments about Hangman Adam Page following a recent episode of AEW Collision.
