10 Wrestlers Tony Khan Banned From AEW

5. Ace Steel

CM Punk Tony Khan The Elite
AEW

The week Ace Steel earned the most fame in his wrestling career ended with him losing his job and place in the AEW locker room, most likely forever, in scenes forever better in everybody's heads than the eyes of the few that saw them.

To recap; on the All Out go-home edition of AEW Dynamite, Steel was cast as the Chicagoan inspirational enough to convince CM Punk to sign Jon Moxley's open contract for a title shot at Sunday's pay-per-view. Cutting a stirring promo with an accidental f-bomb to boot, he just about talked his way into playing a Don Callis-to-Kenny Omega role with the 'Voice Of The Voiceless' longterm.

And then he bit Kenny Omega's arm in a backstage brawl and was immediately out the door.

His place in the "Brawl Out" lore will secured for years, but he stands even less of a chance of getting back amongst the AEW wrestlers as Punk himself.
