The wrestling community went into total dismay when AEW aired the footage from All In 2023. It was done to showcase the actual truth behind the infamous altercation between CM Punk and Jack Perry. However, it badly backfired on AEW as it made them look like they were trying to bring down The Second City Saint. Now, a report has emerged that sheds light on the environment behind the scenes in AEW.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio, personnel backstage in AEW are quite frustrated after they showcased the clip. It is being said that there is a sense of resentment over this, as this matter should not have been opened up. Besides, the report suggests that this infamous incident should have been forgotten as soon as the world could, as bringing it up again and again won’t do good for AEW.

As soon as Tony did that, then I started to hear from people, and it was people who were just like, really frustrated going like, 'Now it's back, the whole thing is back' It opened up a wound that needed to be closed. They need to move past this. This doesn't do AEW any good. If I'm Punk, I'm laughing about it honestly.

It was similar to the reaction he posted on his Instagram. Besides, Tony Khan‘s plan surely backfired on him, as it led to the company receiving a lot of heat from people all over the internet.
