Originally Published 1 year ago — by Wrestling Inc.
AEW's decision to air real security footage of CM Punk and Jack Perry's backstage altercation at last year's AEW All In pay-per-view received a tepid response from industry insiders, with some AEW performers feeling the TV time could have been better utilized. The segment was intended to promote the upcoming rematch between the Young Bucks and FTR, and the idea to air the footage came from AEW CEO Tony Khan following Punk's recent interview. Inside WWE, the decision was referred to as a "self-own" by some, while others were indifferent, with the focus being on recovering from WrestleMania 40.
