Ace Steel was fired from AEW when he was a part of Brawl Out last year, where he allegedly bit Kenny Omega on the arm during the brawl. He was brought back and had been working remotely following Punk’s return as well. He got fired again recently and it appears Steel continued to throw shade at the company after his firing.
CM Punk and Jack Perry had been suspended following their backstage confrontation at AEW All In, which eventually led to Tony Khan firing CM Punk. Khan would then provide the reason behind Punk’s firing.
Many were surprised Ace Steel was still employed by AEW despite Punk’s exit, but that didn’t last long as AEW got rid of Steel this week as well. Following his AEW firing, Ace Steel took to his Instagram stories recently and threw shade at AEW as he agreed with a post about mishandling people, which can be assumed to be about The Elite and CM Punk’s entire situation.
Aint that the F**** truth!! LoL
Tony Khan also refused to comment on CM Punk possibly having non-compete clause after his AEW firing. Regardless, we’ll have to wait and see if Punk and Ace Steel will end up joining another pro wrestling company in the future.
