Backstage AEW Drama Mars Excellent Weekend of Professional Wrestling

Following his title-match win, CM Punk launched into a tirade that turned physical.

A backstage altercation between CM Punk and two of AEW’s executive vice presidents marred what had been an awesome weekend of pro-wrestling action.

CM Punk won the AEW title from Jon Moxley in a bloody championship match that headlined AEW’s All Out PPV from the NOW Arena in Chicago on Sunday night. Moments later, he was backstage for a press conference—and before the first question could even be asked, Punk launched into a tirade about former friend Scott Colton, aka Colt Cabana, and how upset he was to have to address rumors about his relationship with Colton in 2022.
