The world of professional wrestling received a great shake in the last hours when All Elite Wrestling announced the firing of CM Punk. A committee outside the company extended the decision a few days after the altercation between The Best in the World and Jack Perry in the backstage at AEW All In London.
Hours after issuing the press release, Tony Khan addressed Chicago fans to inform them of the reasons for his decision. What caught the attention were the words of the president of the company, that it was the first time he feared for his safety in a wrestling show.
CM Punk's firing is not only linked to his aforementioned altercation with Jack Perry. Tony Khan felt "physically threatened" trying to convince the wrestler to come to his senses to carry out his match.
As Tony Khan explained to the public, a legal team was the one who unanimously recommended termination of the contract. The final decision was made by the AEW president, who decided to lean towards what was mentioned by his defenders.
On the other hand, the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery David Sazlav was informed of this firing before the official statement was released.
