All eyes have been on All Elite Wrestling since Sunday, and that was exemplified on AEW Dynamite. Wednesday’s broadcast was the first new AEW programming since the now infamous AEW All Out press conference, which featured AEW World Champion CM Punk going on an unscripted and uncensored rant directed at Colt Cabana, “Hangman” Adam Page, Kenny Omega, and the Young Bucks. Punk’s comments brewed a backstage fight that pitted himself and trainer Ace Steel against Omega and the Bucks, which culminated in Omega getting bitten and Nick Jackson being struck with a chair. The specifics of this situation are still developing, but the immediate consequences are that all men involved have been suspended except for Punk and Steel, who will either be suspended or let go from the company.
