CM Punk, whose real name is Phil Brooks, was recently released from All Elite Wrestling (AEW) with cause. The exact reason for his dismissal is not entirely clear, but it is believed to be a combination of factors. One of these factors was a backstage altercation with Jack Perry during the All In event in London. Additionally, Punk had been dealing with a triceps injury that he suffered during his win over Jon Moxley at AEW All Out in September 2022.
Punks return to AEW in June 2023 was highly anticipated, as he had previously left the wrestling industry and had not competed since 2014. However, his tenure with AEW was short-lived, and he is now a free agent once again. It remains to be seen what the future holds for CM Punk in the world of professional wrestling.
