CM Punk & Jack Perry Reportedly Involved in Backstage Incident at AEW All In

CM Punk and Jack Perry reportedly were involved in a backstage incident at AEW’s All In event, according to Fightful Select.

It was reported that their sources stated that this incident took place around ten minutes before the start of the main card that featured Punk’s match against Samoa Joe for the “Real” World Championship as its opener.

This incident reportedly was stated to be a backstage physical altercation between the two over comments Perry made during his match with HOOK on the pre-show. Perry stated to the camera that “It’s real glass, cry me a river” following a spot involving a card window. This was in reference to a past incident between Punk and Perry over a confrontation at a past Collision show over a similar dispute and disparaging comments Punk made.

It was reported that one side of the story was stated that Perry was the one who had confronted Punk backstage leading to a shoving contest and Punk putting Perry in a choke hold.

PWTorch reported that their sources told a different story stating that it was Punk who had confronted Perry backstage as he was heading off for his match against Joe. Punk asked Perry if they had a problem and then pie-faced Perry after an exchange of words. This led to Punk putting Perry in a face lock and throwing punches before they were separated by others.
