The Young Bucks (Matthew & Nicholas Jackson) will share exclusive backstage footage from AEW All In on Wednesday night’s episode of AEW Dynamite. This footage is related to the incident involving CM Punk and Jack Perry at AEW All In 2023, which led to Perry’s suspension and Punk’s release.

Punk talked Perry out of using real glass for a segment on TV, but Perry made a reference to glass during his match at All In 2023 after doing a spot on a car, resulting in a physical altercation with Punk. Punk recently discussed the incident on “The MMA Hour” podcast.

As previously reported, AEW President Tony Khan was very upset with Punk’s interview and has wanted to air the footage for a while now. While speaking with Sports Illustrated, Khan talked about it. 

“AEW has a great track record on delivering what we advertise, and it is real footage,” said Khan, who remained guarded over the specific content that will air from All In. “The Young Bucks will show backstage footage from All In, the most important event in AEW history–the world record-holder for the most tickets ever sold for any wrestling record, over 81,035 total–and it was an important night backstage, as well.”

Khan continued, “The decision is based on putting on the best show for AEW, as well as driving interest for Dynamite and our Dynasty pay-per-view on April 21. This is real-life footage that affected many people, and it will air for the first time on TBS during Dynamite. The Young Bucks are wrestling for the world tag team championship at AEW Dynasty against longtime rivals FTR. Their rivalry is one of the most significant ever in AEW, and there is a good reason why the Young Bucks are showing this video.”

“It’s important that the Young Bucks explain the reason why this is relevant going into Dynasty,” said Khan. “It should be another must-see part of a great show on Dynamite.”
