It really does look like we will never see CM Punk in an AEW ring ever again.
The former AEW World Champion was last seen blasting his colleagues in the now infamous post-All Out media scrum, a blasting which led to a backstage fight we still know very little about.
Punk’s friend and trainer Ace Steel has already been let go by AEW for his part in the fight, and now it seems almost certain Punk is set to follow.
Writing in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer noted Punk has effectively been “voted out” of AEW by his colleagues.
A few names were mentioned with Chris Jericho being the name mentioned most but that many if not most of the key top names were saying that they wouldn’t work with him.
One top star noted, “Punk won’t be back. His value on screen isn’t one percent worth the hassle and black cloud he causes backstage.”
Another top star noted the team has decided he’s out and regardless of some being willing to work with him, the collective decided that he was voted off the island
Of course this is wrestling and things can change at the drop of a hat, but it’s looking very unlikely Punk will ever set foot in an AEW ring again.
CM Punk to somewhere else confirmed.
