[Wrestling Observer Radio](http://f4wonline.com), Dave Meltzer revealed that Punk either has undergone, or will undergo surgery on the injury, which is believed to be a torn muscle, and this could take him out of action for up to eight months. His actions may lead to a lengthy suspension (if he isn’t let go from the company entirely), but probably not eight months, which is how long he could be out after it was revealed he suffered a serious arm injury during the match.
All Elite Wrestling was launched in January 2019 and was considered to be the first big wrestling company to challenge the stronghold that WWE had on the ...
In addition, The Elite have also vacated their newly won Trios Championship due to their involvement in the fight on Sunday. This isn't to say that Punk, Omega, Page or The Young Bucks would do the same if they left AEW but there would be huge demand for them if they did depart. Justin Barrasso of SI adds: "Multiple sources have shared that Punk and Ace Steel will either be among those suspended, or will no longer be with the company by the end of Wednesday. As reported by Fightful: “Per the Punk/Steel side of things — After the scrum, The Young Bucks approached Punk’s locker room, and Punk wasn’t answering the door after having been in a long match, bloodied, and finished with an emotional scrum. The fact that I have to sit up here because we have irresponsible people who call themselves EVPs and couldn’t f*cking manage a Target and they spread lies and bullsh*t and put into the media that I got somebody fired when I have f*ck all to do with him, want nothing to do with him, do not care where he works, where he doesn’t work, where he eats, where he sleeps. When Page didn't answer the call, Punk implied that he was a 'coward.' In the wrestling industry, this is known as 'going into business for yourself.' It’s f**king unfortunate that I have to come up here and speak on this when I’m on my time and this is a f**king business. Omega was also said to have been bitten on the leg by Ace Steel. Now at this point, it should be stated that Cabana is friends with the aforementioned Adam Page (real name Stephen Woltz) due to his association with the AEW faction the Dark Order, which Cabana used to me a member. And I will still walk up and down this hallway and say, ‘If you have a f*cking problem with me, take it up with me.' Let’s f*cking go." As is custom, Tony Khan hosted a press scrum after the show had finished where the wrestlers took questions from the media, where Punk was the first to speak. Up until recently the harmony in the company would suggest that all was going according to plan.
As the fallout from the backstage fight between The Elite, CM Punk and Ace Steel continues, a new account of what happened has emerged.
In retaliation, Steel bit Omega and pulled his hair. The Elite then didn't kick down the door, instead simply opening it, but before Matt Jackson could say anything, Punk went off and "started throwing sucker punches at Matt's head." Much remains disputed about what took place after CM Punk's inflammatory post-All Out press conference.

An alleged backstage brawl following All Out in Chicago involving CM Punk, Kenny Omega, and The Young Bucks created a firestorm of rumors, reports, and wildly ...
As a result the AEW World Championship and the AEW World Trios Championship have been stripped from those involved. This was an opportunity to speak candidly, and honestly to the very people AEW so often praise for being the driving force behind everything they do — and instead they were kept in the dark again. If this was the approach there are no questions today. Consider for a moment you’re not a wrestling fan who refreshes Twitter looking for backstage reports, and who didn’t see the press conference following All Out. There were a thousand ways to better explain what was happening inside AEW, while also maintaining the integrity of the private investigation. If a wrestling company decides a writer is too much of a nuisance, they simply cut access — damaging the outlet’s ability to cover events, and hurting their bottom line. We take any incident involving our employees very seriously, and those involved have been suspended, pending the completion of a full investigation, which has already begun. However, trusted as writers’ sources may be, there remains a non-zero chance this is still an effort to pop ratings and create interest in the show — with these reports being used as a tool to achieve AEW’s goals. Professional wrestling remains a business of subterfuge, and companies maintain all the power in their relationship with writers. Dynamite was a chance to cut through the rumors and clarify the process, instead Tony Khan and AEW made it so much more confusing. If anything, the vagueness of his words simply led more wrestling fans to look online to try and garner information on what took place, rather than clarifying a very bizarre situation. Appearing on screen shortly following the show’s intro, Khan thanked fans, then, without explanation, announced that the AEW World Championship and AEW World Trios Championships had been vacated.
CM Punk and trainer Ace Steel are at the center of an all-too-real fist fight in the latest AEW drama.

[AEW’s Double or Nothing media scrum](https://youtu.be/eW0Yoa7cpnA?t=292) in May, Khan unabashedly placed Punk on a pedestal higher than any other wrestler in the company, saying “no one person has made a more positive impact” on AEW in terms of ticket sales and viewership. While Khan’s adulation might be true, it also gave credence to why Punk could so freely make a mockery of Khan’s status as the head honcho of the company by bull dogging him whenever he tried to defuse tension during the media scrum. The glaring issue with this recent development is that CM Punk is AEW’s current world champion and Omega and the Jacksons are the company’s newly-crowned trios champions. After the crowd confusingly cheered for Page, Punk laid into him in a bizarrely heelish manner, demanding an “apology [...] as loud and as public as the disrespect” Punk claims he suffered when he was not-so-subtly blamed for Cobana’s departure. [Wrestling Observer](https://www.f4wonline.com/podcasts/wrestling-observer-radio/wrestling-observer-radio-aew-dynamite-latest-on-cm-punk-new-champions-and-more-to-be-crowned), CM Punk has been suspended from the company. Fightful Select (which is paywalled, but the story was shared by [Cultaholic](https://cultaholic.com/posts/report-aew-backstage-fight-from-cm-punk-and-ace-steel-s-perspective-revealed)) reports that Punk allegedly punched Matt Jackson, while Ace Steel, Punk’s trainer, bit Omega before throwing a chair at Nick Jackson, giving him a black eye. This rumor was refuted by Khan himself in a recent interview with [Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/sites/blakeoestriecher/2022/09/02/tony-khan-talks-aew-all-out-cm-punk-roh-more/?sh=3f3c5a083324). If you’re wondering what has become of CM Punk and Steele, multiple sources told Sports Illustrated they’ll either be added to the list of suspensions or will no longer be working with the company after tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite. [Cultaholic](https://cultaholic.com/posts/report-aew-backstage-fight-from-cm-punk-and-ace-steel-s-perspective-revealed), Kenny Omega and Nick and Matt Jackson confronted CM Punk after comments of his ruffled a few feathers. Punk also suffered a triceps injury during his match at All Out and must undergo surgery that’ll leave him out of the ring for eight months. ET: During the opening segment of AEW Dynamite, Tony Khan announced that the AEW world heavy weight championship and trios championships would be vacated and that a tournament would crown the new world champion.
