It was previously reported that All Elite Wrestling released former 2-time AEW World Champion CM Punk for a number of reasons, most especially due to his incident with Jack Perry at All In London, but it seems that Punk had more backstage issues in AEW before last year’s All Out PPV Event and last week’s All In London Event.
BodySlam.net reports that CM Punk had a heated verbal exchange with William Regal shortly after Regal made his debut for All Elite Wrestling at the 2022 Revolution Event as Punk refused to shake his hand backstage during the show and the former 2-time AEW World Champion even told the pro wrestling legend that he didn’t trust him and that he is Triple H’s stooge.
There has been no confirmation yet on if this incident between Punk and Regal really happened, but BodySlam.net does have a record of accurate reports. Regal would ultimately leave AEW towards the end of 2022 and return to the WWE shortly after.
