>Punk communicated to people familiar with the situation that he was not comfortable going through with the match on August 24 before he was fully cleared. Special travel arrangements were made to accomodate Punk on the day of the match and he floated the idea of additional pay over wrestling without being cleared.
>There is heat between Punk and Mox
>Jericho and Punk had a argument after Brawl Out where Jericho called Punk a cancer
>Those in AEW believe that in a "Mox or Punk" situation, AEW would choose Mox.
>most of the Heat on Punk remains
>Punk and Tony have been in contact and had a couple meetings. They were supposed to meet in February but that got delayed
>Those close to Punk initially believed he wanted out of his contract without a non-compete
>One person claimed Punk said he was willing to apologize over the media scrum portion of the night and had expressed some regret over his actions on that part.
>People close to Punk said he was originally going to pursue legal action however that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
>Sources in AEW lost confidence that Punk would return after yesterday's post. He's currently still under contract.
>Punk had a meeting with AEW officials over the Hangman promo before Double or Nothing, while Hangman just tried to stay out of the situation and move past it. Whatever came out of that meeting was not a satisfying resolution for Punk.
>Punk should be cleared from his injured very soon. He originally expected to be cleared by late January.
>New Brawl Out info:
>A production employee got struck with a chair.
>Omega and Punk had a brief conversation following the brawl where Punk told him that "the issue wasn't with him" but apparently did not speak more after that, as Punk was prepping for surgery and Omega had other plans. People said Omega was surprisingly composed after it all went down. Ace Steel was still being dealt with at this point.
