NextImg:CM Punk fired by AEW with cause after backstage incident at All In

AEW finally said enough is enough with CM Punk — and fired him.

The professional wrestling promotion officially terminated its agreement with the two-time AEW world champion on Saturday, nearly a week after his second backstage incident in the past year.

Punk, whose real name is Phil Brooks, reportedly got into a physical altercation with fellow AEW star Jack Perry backstage prior to his match at the All In pay-per-view at London’s Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

“All Elite Wrestling (AEW) terminated the wrestler and employment agreement between Philip Brooks (CM Punk) and AEW with cause, effective immediately,” the company said in a statement.

“The termination follows a weeklong internal investigation of an incident occurring back stage at AEW – All In London on Sunday, August 27. Following the investigation, the AEW Discipline Committee met and later convened with outside legal counsel before making a unanimous recommendation to Khan that CM Punk be terminated with cause.”

Khan thanked Punk for his contributions in a statement and said, “The termination of his AEW contracts with cause is ultimately my decision, and mine alone.”

Punk also got into a backstage brawl with The Elite after the All Out pay-per-view last September.
