AEW surprises fans by airing footage of the real-life backstage fight between CM Punk and Jack 'Jungle Boy' Perry at their All In event. The incident, along with other backstage incidents, has not been publicly discussed due to nondisclosure agreements.
WWE fans were proclaiming the Attitude Era was back a few weeks ago with The Rock’s bloody beatdown of Cody Rhodes. AEW , the leading competitor to the pro wrestling behemoth, made the surprising decision on Thursday to air footage of the real-life backstage fight between CM Punk and young wrestler Jack ‘Jungle Boy’ Perry at their massive All In event at Wembley Stadium last year.
At the All In event, during a match early in the show Perry was involved in a spot using glass, then saying into the camera “it’s real glass, cry me a river”. Punk’s account, told to a former journalist turned WWE fan, was full of exaggerations about the incident to make him look less bad. And it was this discussion of the incident that clearly led AEW to showing the fight.
AEW attempted to turn the footage into a storyline by framing it around the upcoming Young Bucks vs FTR match at their Dynasty pay per view. The Bucks, in character, claimed they were distracted by the Punk fight in their roles as executive vice presidents which is why they lost, and pointed to the well-known friendship between FTR and Punk.
But for whatever reason in the current internet wrestling landscape, AEW and Tony Khan have become the bad guys. Some of it is the very partisan nature of a wrestling war, with WWE fans becoming evangelists and not understanding why people would like the other company.
