Per SRS and Fightful
>Serena Deeb seemed to be a massive pickup for AEW during the pandemic days, but the former NWA champion hasn’t made an appearance on TV since suffering an injury last year. In addition, she hasn’t wrestled any independent shows during that time, leading some to wonder if there was more going on.
>Fightful can now confirm that Serena has indeed garnered a lot of heat due to her relationship with Marty Scurll. Acura was accused of an inappropriate relationship with a young girl and effectively blackballed from the wrestling industry. Deeb disclosed the relationship and there was no ill will until she began asking for a job for Scurll repeatedly. This was politely rejected each time until Deeb mentioned it to CM Punk. Punk mentioned that he “didn’t break any laws” and kept asking why Scurll couldn’t have a job. This led to a backstage meeting in which a list of black listed talent was displayed, including Scurll, with reasons for each one. We’re told the list was only a dozen people and most of the issues were due to criminal proceedings. Punk then loudly asked “why is it a big deal if the girl consented?”, causing a bit of an uproar backstage.
>This still wasn’t the last straw for Deeb, however, as this didn’t come until she was seen talking to the teenage sister of an AEW talent. Deeb apparently told the girl she could “get one on one training” and mentioned that she and “hey boyfriend” could teach the teenage girl “other things, too”.
>Deeb was pulled off the road at this point after the talent complained.
