CM Punk and Jack Perry had an altercation backstage at AEW All In.

Details are few and far between at the moment, but we have learned that Jack Perry and CM Punk had an altercation shortly before CM Punk went to the ring for his AEW All In match. Jack Perry was on right before him, and did a spot on a car window, and said "it's real glass, cry me a river." This was a shot at Punk, who had a confrontation at an AEW Collision taping this Summer over Perry's insistence on using real glass for a spot on the show. We're told Perry wasn't happy with how the situation was relayed publicly by those close to Punk.

We haven't heard of the extent of which the altercation got, but that it got physical, and involved a lot of yelling.

We will follow up here with any additional details we learn.

Fightful

I dunno why is doing a spot in real glass a flex. I'm still trying to figure that part out.

Being told you can’t do something on the CM Punk show and then doing it in front of 80,000 people while telling him to cry about it is an incredible flex.

I fear that with the amount of pastries in the UK, this was inevitable.

From Mike Johnson

Original 1:13 PM: PWInsider.com is still working to confirm details but before the All In: London PPV went on the air, there was an altercation between CM Punk and Jack Perry.

At some point after Perry's match with Hook, we are told Punk and he had an altercation with several sources claiming Punk "went after" or (dependidng on the story) "hit" Perry.

Update 1:40 PM EST: One version of the story is that there had been a previous conversation between the two about Perry doing a glass spot. During Perry vs, Hook was ongoing, Perry pointed out the glass on the car and screamed that it was real glass and "cry me a river" before doing the spot where he ended up suplexed through the glass.

Backstage, the two came across each other. One version is Punk punched him. The other version is there was no punch but Perry was grabbed in a choke by Punk. Those who are telling the choke story are adamant there was no punch. Others, however, are passing that punch story around. Who started it, is, as you might guess, dependent on who is telling the story.

We are working to confirm additional details. What any of this means going forward for Punk, even after going over Samoa Joe, remains to be seen.

Another Fightful update

CM Punk and Jack Perry had an altercation backstage at AEW All In.

Details are few and far between at the moment, but we have learned that Jack Perry and CM Punk had an altercation shortly before CM Punk went to the ring for his AEW All In match. Jack Perry was on right before him, and did a spot on a car window, and said "it's real glass, cry me a river." This was a shot at Punk, who had a confrontation at an AEW Collision taping this Summer over Perry's insistence on using real glass for a spot on the show. We're told Perry wasn't happy with how the situation was relayed publicly by those close to Punk.

We have learned at least one side of the story, which claims that Jack Perry approached CM Punk backstage and "stepped in his face" and "bumped" Punk. Punk was said to have then pushed Perry. Perry allegedly "came at Punk and got choked." We haven't heard of a particular kind of choke or who broke things up. Please note this is only one side of the story, and more details will emerge.

We've reached out to both CM Punk and Jack Perry for their sides. 

We will follow up here with any additional details we learn

Oh I hope that version is true. Jungle Boy = CM Punk's Goldberg.

Right down to calling his momma a goof.

They had FTR win??? Wtf

[Citizen Snips]

It’s the biggest show ever, less than 5 years into their existence. The wrestling world was rocked by two deaths in two days.

And they can’t leave the high school shit alone for 6 hours.

2022-23 AEW single-handedly bringing back the art of the backstage fight between Punk/Ace v Elite, Sammy v Eddie, Sammy v Andrade, Swerve v Ricky and Punk v Perry. Am I forgetting any others?

Goldberg would also know all about the dangers of using real glass in a limo spot

They can start an entire documentary series on these Punk AEW backstage altercations.
