Tracing the altercation back to AEW Collision glass break

As per reports, during the pre-show match between against Hook, Jungle decided to do a spot involving a car window. While turning to the car window, he said, “It’s real glass, cry me a river.” It was referenced to CM Punk who had previously rejected the idea of using actual glass on the episode of AEW Collision. This infuriated CM Punk, who did not hesitate to confront Jungle Boy.

Jack Perry is not the only superstar who has a backstage beef with CM Punk as the list includes superstars like Kenny Omega and the Elites. But Khan is making sure that he has the best information at hand before he decides on anything. Punk could face drastic consequences if his role in the altercation emerges as massive. The AEW president will be keen to put forth a precedent that ensures no favorability is at play.
