CM Punk is officially gone from AEW...'s video game.

Or is at very least gone from the cover art, which previously featured him front and centre along with Britt Baker, Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley, Chris Jericho and Jade Cargill.

The updated artwork (above) still features Baker, Omega, Moxley, Jericho and Cargill, but has now been bolstered to include Sting, current All-Atlantic Champion Orange Cassidy, Hangman Page, Bryan Danielson and current AEW World Heavyweight Champion MJF.

The new art comes amidst conflicting reports about Punk's status in the game itself, which is tentatively set for release - per its Amazon listing - on December 31st 2023.

'The Voice Of The Voiceless' hasn't featured for All Elite Wrestling since the infamous post-All Out 2022 press scrum last September, and his status with the company remains unknown beyond the fact that no official split has yet been confirmed. His last match with the company came just before his explosive remarks in the scrum, defeating Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship, before a post-presser backstage fight with The Elite resulted in him being stripped of the title.
