EVERY Wrestler From The Original ALL IN - Where Are They Now?

34. Colt Cabana

Rey Mysterio All In
AEW

Colt Cabana has become one of the most notorious wrestlers on the planet without actually doing anything - which might be the point.

Did CM Punk actually tell Tony Khan to get rid of him? Did Khan presume that Punk wanted him gone, gently relegate him to Ring Of Honor, and then hope the locker room furore would die down? Were the AEW roster members who insisted the former was the case right to use Occam's razor without knowing for certain what happened? Or did they know for sure, as some insist?

And why didn't Tony Khan prevent Brawl Out - he must have known something like this was imminent - by booking Colt to do a simple Elevation job with Punk in the building?

...was he allowed?

Whatever happened, Colt - who will always be inextricably linked to all of this as the first reference point of his career - changed the trajectory of AEW forever.

Colt after all this is actually back to producing on Dynamite!
