AEW will air the CM Punk/Jack Perry footage from All In on Wednesday’s Dynamite.
On Collision, it was announced that The Young Bucks will “present backstage footage from All In and will discuss for the first time” on Wednesday. According to both Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez, this is not a bait-and-switch tactic, and Tony Khan will air the footage of the altercation from last August’s event in Wembley Stadium.

Right before the main card of AEW All In, Punk and Perry got into an altercation after Perry used real glass during a spot on the pre-show, saying “It’s real glass, cry me a river”, which was in regards to a confrontation Punk had with Perry earlier in the summer over a spot that was to be taped on Collision. After an investigation, Punk was fired from AEW with cause. He later returned to WWE at last year’s Survivor Series.
Last Monday, CM Punk spoke about the altercation for the first time on The MMA Hour. He said he thought he was "doing a responsible thing" and said, "I didn't punch anybody, I just choked somebody a little bit." He also denied that he did anything to make Tony Khan fear for his life, as Khan said following Punk's firing from the company.
Also added to Dynamite is a match between Samoa Joe and Dustin Rhodes in an AEW World title eliminator match and Anna Jay vs. Mariah May.
