WOR Video: Will CM Punk be at All Out?

It’s been almost a week since the Jack Perry/CM Punk altercation backstage at All In, but the repercussions are still being felt.

On Wrestling Observer Radio this Friday, Dave Meltzer and Garrett Gonzales discussed the altercation, with Gonzalez mentioning that numerous versions of the story have emerged in what is the latest in a string of incidents that has involved Punk.

“It’s insane. It really is,” Meltzer said. “Every week, there’s something….I don’t know what [AEW] are going or do, or if they will do anything.”

As a result of their altercation, both Perry and Punk have been suspended pending an investigation. This couldn’t have come at a worse time booking-wise, as Chicago native Punk was scheduled to wrestle at All Out at the United Center on Sunday. It still remains to be seen if Punk will appear at the show.

“The deal is that when Saturday night’s Collision is over, we’re gonna know,” Meltzer said.

Ricky Starks is scheduled for that, where he is set to challenge Ricky Steamboat to a strap match at All Out. Originally, Punk was set to wrestle Starks. However, if Punk is unable to appear another person will take his place. One of the names mentioned as a replacement is Hangman Page, someone that Punk has had issues with in the recent past.

“It shouldn’t piss off Punk at all,” Meltzer said on the idea of Page replacing Punk. “But it could.”
