Report: CM Punk Suspended By AEW, Update On Injury

CM Punk has reportedly been suspended by All Elite Wrestling.

AEW have yet to make an official statement about the backstage fight that took place between The Elite, and CM Punk and Ace Steel after the former AEW World Champion's post-All Out press conference on Sunday, September 4. Bryan Alvarez reported on Wrestling Observer Radio, though, that Punk has been suspended along with everyone else that was involved in the backstage fight.

It was previously noted that Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, Christopher Daniels, Pat Buck, Michael Nakazawa, and Brandon Cutler had been suspended. Ace Steel was said to be off the road too and a third party will investigate exactly what happened during Sunday's altercation.

Punk's AEW future was initially uncertain and him being fired was a possibility but the 44-year-old looks set to remain with the promotion for the time being.

Punk had been AEW World Champion, having only won the gold at All Out, but he was stripped of the title on Wednesday's episode of Dynamite due to a serious injury that he suffered in that All Out match. Initial reports noted it was a triceps injury and Punk would need surgery.

In an update, Dave Meltzer reported it was confirmed to him that Punk had torn a muscle in his arm and he may have already undergone surgery. If it is indeed a torn triceps, Punk will be out of action for eight months.
