In a follow-up on the earlier story that CM Punk and Jack Perry had a "physical altercation" backstage at AEW All In today, there now comes a huge update on this matter.

That earlier story from Fightful Select noted how Punk and Perry had a confrontation prior to the Second City Saint heading to the ring for his match against Samoa Joe. This was said to be tied to Jack's comments about using "real glass" and "cry my a river" during his match with HOOK on the Zero-Hour pre-show. That came hot on the heels of reports Punk and Perry had words earlier this month after the former Jungle Boy wanted to use real glass in a backstage segment; something the Straight-Edge Superstar took umbrage with.

One story is that Punk and Perry got into a shoving match backstage, and they definitely had words. The initial story, as per PWInsider, is that Punk struck Jack, but the more common story doing the rounds now is that Jack was actually caught in a choke by the Chicagoan.
