Tony Khan Reportedly Really Mad At Current AEW Star

AEW has had its fair share of drama since the company first launched in 2019 and last year everyone was talking about a backstage altercation between CM Punk and Jack Perry which led to Punk’s departure from All Elite Wrestling.

Jack Perry has not appeared on AEW programming since the All In pay-per-view last year, but Dave Meltzer claimed on Wrestling Observer Radio that Perry has not been fired. It was also noted that Tony Khan is “really mad” at Jack Perry and is reportedly blaming him for the situation with CM Punk.

Meltzer: “He has absolutely not been fired, but they’re not using him. Essentially, Tony is really mad at him because he cost him CM Punk, so he’s getting the blame. He probably should have been suspended for a month or two. Where are we at? Seven months now? It’s ridiculous. Punishment doesn’t fit the crime at this point. I mean, it’s like it’s his fault because the other guy lost his mind?”

Alvarez: “He didn’t cost Tony CM Punk. CM Punk cost Tony CM Punk. Punk could have just gone to Tony suspend this dude, that was unprofessional.”

Meltzer: “But it was such a nothing. None of it should have happened because the fact is that it wouldn’t have happened with Jack Perry if Punk didn’t start the thing in the first place. It’s like, yell at him over something that had already been, it had already been approved. I mean, they brought the glass right?”

Alvarez: “They got the car. He was given approval to do it. They had the car it was all ready to go, and then Punk said not doing it.”
