Another AEW show, another quiet day in All Elite Wrestling...

As the headline suggests, CM Punk has reportedly been in a "physical confrontation" at AEW All In today.

With All In currently ongoing, the Second City Saint was in action on the first match of the main PPV card, where he successfully retained the Real Worlds Championship against long-time rival Samoa Joe in a brilliant, barnburner of a bout.

Prior to the PPV 'proper' starting, the second and final match of the Zero-Hour pre-show saw HOOK defeat Jack Perry to become a two-time FTW Title. And it's here, where the issues with Punk seem to lie.

As per Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, CM Punk was involved with a confrontation with Perry shortly before the Chicagoan went out for his match.

No further details are known at this stage, though this could well stem from a comment Jack Perry made during his match against HOOK.

There, as Perry made it known that he intended to put HOOK through a limousine windscreen, he looked into the camera and noted how the windshield was real glass, before adding to "cry my a river".

For those who missed it, reports from earlier this month revealed Punk and Perry had a face-to-face backstage at a Collision over the former Jungle Boy's want to use real glass in a backstage segment; something which the Straight-Edge Superstar took umbrage with.

Expect more on this situation as further details become available.
