Report: MJF Involved In CM Punk/Elite Fight Investigation

AEW

There was a big fight after last weekend’s AEW All Out PPV, but you probably already knew that considering it’s one of the biggest news stories in years.

What you might not know is that an independent company has been brought in by AEW to investigate what happened, and interviews will be conducted with every person involved in the altercation to determine exactly what happened.

Writing in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer noted a number of “neutral” parties who are believed to have seen what happened will also be questioned.

One of these people is AEW star MJF. The report reads:

“The company has brought in an independent firm to investigate and do video interviews with everyone in the room, which included all the names mentioned above, as well as many others, including a number of neutral parties who were in the room and were believed to have seen everything as it happened. The key names that would have included were Max “MJF” Friedman and AEW and Jacksonville Jaguars Chief Legal Officer Megha Parekh.

“Until the investigation is completed those involved in the fracas were suspended. All long-term decisions regarding anything to do with any of them are pending until completion of the investigation. There still could be outside legal proceedings regarding the fight from different sides. I don’t expect AEW to ever address the specifics of what happened. Depending on the timing or threats of legal action, we don’t know if the key parties will talk. It is believed some want to talk and tell their side of the story when they can.”

It’s likely that the investigation will go on for some time, and speaking of some time, CM Punk will likely be out of action for up to eight months after undergoing surgery on a torn triceps muscle. The rest of the people involved in the fight, including Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks are suspended for an unconfirmed amount of time.
