Punk infamously unleashed a verbal tirade at the All Out post-show media scrum, which led to a backstage altercation with The Elite that got everyone involved suspended. However, the “Straight Edge Superstar’s” status with the company hasn’t been fully disclosed.
One thing that has become apparent recently is that CM Punk is up-to-date with AEW’s analytics, as he posted screenshots on his Instagram story of how well things turn out when he’s involved.
The frosty relationship between AEW and CM Punk might work in the “Second City Saint’s” favor. According to Dave Meltzer in the most recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, if business doesn’t go well for All Elite Wrestling, Punk may have some leverage over the company.
Meltzer also speculated on a potential return date for the former AEW World Champion, with the journalist suggesting that once he heals from his injury, he could make a return to the promotion next spring.
Dax Harwood FaceTimed CM Punk following the All Out media scrum
While the details of what happened between CM Punk and The Elite during the “Brawl Out” incident remain murky at best, one person who has been able to give a little bit of insight as to what happened is FTR’s Dax Harwood.
On his podcast “FTR with Dax,” the former AEW Tag Team Champion revealed that he had a conversation with Punk over FaceTime after the brawl had finished.
Harwood also made a plea to Punk, The Young Bucks, and Kenny Omega for them all to get on the same page so that everyone can not only move on, but also be able to do business with each other.
