10 Wrestlers Who Beat The Hell Out Of Each Other Backstage

1. CM Punk/The Elite

You had to know this would be number one.

At AEW All Out 2022, CM Punk regained the World Title by beating Jon Moxley in the main event. Then, all hell broke loose due to Punk's headline-making comments during an incredible post-PPV press conference. That led to quite the confrontation.

Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks were angry with Punk for what he said. Seeking answers, The Elite had a fiery verbal exchange with Punk that turned physical and resulted in suspensions for everyone involved. Tony Khan, the guy who had to sort out this mess, looked like he'd rather be anywhere else during the presser.

It didn't reflect well on Khan or AEW that top stars were scrapping right after a major pay-per-view had gone dark. Now, it remains to be seen if any of the backstage brawlers have a future in All Elite going forwards.
