The show unveiled an intense altercation between Jack Perry and CM Punk in exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from the All-In event. The conflict escalated when Punk aggressively shoved Perry, leading to chaos backstage. Samoa Joe and other AEW staff members had to step in to defuse the situation and restore order. It is to be noted that this altercation led to the termination of CM Punk’s AEW contract.

And normally after it happens they will bring us in and say guys, either we gonna get along or somebody’s going to have to get along, one of the two. And we shake hands and get back to work.”

AEW President Tony Khan also defended his decision to air the All In footage, stating that it simply made sense. Even then, Tony Khan was heavily criticized for this move. Regardless,
