>Once Punk exited the press room, he exchanged words in a locker room with Omega and the Bucks, which led to a physical altercation. Punishment for that backstage fight, Sports Illustrated has learned, will include suspensions for every person involved. The list of those receiving suspensions includes Omega, Matt and Nick Jackson, Pat Buck, Christopher Daniels, Michael Nakazawa, and Brandon Cutler. Multiple sources have shared that Punk and Ace Steel will either be among those suspended, or will no longer be with the company by the end of Wednesday. Punk met with Khan on Tuesday, so the two had an opportunity to discuss how that exit could be handled.
>Per sources, an external third-party investigation will be conducted to examine what transpired. Page had already left the building, Sports Illustrated learned, which explains his absence from the altercation.
...
>Remarkably, there could still be a positive outcome if Punk and FTR engage in a heated feud with Omega and the Bucks. Punk mentioned to Sports Illustrated two weeks ago that he is in AEW to sell tickets and drive ratings. Real-life strife sells in this industry, especially when harnessed in the right manner–but sources from close to AEW indicated a storyline is not going to come out of this situation.
