AEW released CM Punk on Saturday following his physical altercation with Jack Perry at AEW All In 2023 a week ago.
Since then, several reports about Punk’s departure and time in AEW have come out. Fans have also speculated what his future holds.
AEW President Tony Khan was asked about whether Punk has a non-compete after being released while speaking to the media after the AEW All Out PPV event. Khan said,
“I don’t want to discuss the terms of the separation in that sense. I very much want to thank CM Punk, Phil, for everything he did in AEW as a wrestler. I don’t think it was an easy decision for anybody on the discipline committee or the outside counsel or for me to do something like that. I do think it was the right move. As far as what’s going to happen in the future, I can’t speak to that. I’m not the attorneys who interpret all that language.”
