However, due to a backstage altercation involving him and Jack Perry, both the AEW stars received suspensions. AEW conducted an investigation into the incident to understand what exactly transpired. Following the conclusion of the incident, the wrestling promotion made a drastic decision.

He has made it official that the ‘Jungle Boy’ would face an indefinite suspension. The decision of the AEW president divided the wrestling fanbase. However, it is important to understand the severity of the altercation before grasping the implications of it.

What happened between Perry and Punk?

After the conclusion of the show,Tony Khan revealed they were looking into what happened.
