AEW All In, which took place in August 2023, was set to be Tony Khan‘s baby’s biggest show. The PPV sold over 80,000 tickets and was a monument in the company’s run.

To say The Big Guy, Ryback, and Punk don’t see eye-to-eye would be an understatement. Their 2012 and 2013 feud resulted in Punk speaking ill of Ryback once he left the company. Claiming The Big Guy was unsafe to work with on Colt Cabana’s Art of Wrestling podcast, the former AEW star made it clear he did not like Ryback. This led to Ryback calling out Punk anytime he got the chance once he, too, departed from the company. Now, with the release of the backstage footage, The Big Guy has tons to feed on. Taking to social media, Ryback gave his two cents on the matter. He said, “This guy was in a position of power to some degree, as well as being a talent.”
