Sensational developments regarding the brawl in the backstage of AEW All In last Sunday in London. AEW has decided to fire one of its most representative and discussed wrestlers: CM Punk. The statement published by AEW explains that the decision was confirmed today by the company’s CEO Tony Khan.
Dismissal for just cause
“All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has terminated Phillip Brooks’ (CM Punk) contract for cause, effective immediately. The withdrawal was confirmed today by Tony Khan, CEO, General Manager and Head of Creative at AEW.
The dismissal comes after a week of internal investigations into an incident that occurred backstage at AEW – All In London on Sunday 27 August. Following the investigation, the AEW Disciplinary Committee, in subsequent agreement with legal counsel, unanimously recommended to Tony Khan that CM Punk’s contract should be terminated for cause.”
The words of Tony Khan
There is also space in the press release for a statement by Tony Khan: “Phil has played an important role for AEW and I thank him for his contribution. Dismissal with just cause is my decision and mine alone. I certainly would have preferred not to have to break this news, which could be disappointing for many of our fans. Nonetheless, I’m making this decision in the best interests of the many amazing people who make AEW possible every day, our talent, staff, field workers, and so many others whose efforts are unseen but essential to bringing our fans great shows. on television, in arenas and stadiums around the world”.
Il dismissal for just cause is a form of dismissal immediate, without notice, which can be carried out by the company in the event of behavior seriously harmful to the company’s interests by the employee. Evidently AEW must have recognized these extremes in CM Punk’s behavior towards Jake Perry, despite the fact that in the first hours after the event there was talk of more serious behavior by the other party than the disagreement that took place backstage at All In.
