According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, CM Punk sucker punched Matt Jackson as he knew a brawl was going to happen.
>Meltzer said both sides and every version is that Punk threw the first punch, that a fight broke out, and that Ace Steel hit Nick Jackson in the eye with a chair very hard and bit Omega and pulled his hair. Dave said that the motivations from the Punk side were that he believed a fight was going to happen and punches would be thrown so he beat them to the inevitable punch that the claim is Matt Jackson was going to throw. Those close to the other side labeled it as a sucker punch. Dave also said from the Steel standpoint it was about protecting his wife, who had a broken foot and was in the room, although escalating the fight and using a weapon has to be questioned for a producer with that in mind with his wife in the room.
