Punk left AEW with a lot of issues with several people in the promotion, such as The Elite and Jack Perry, considering the brawl at All Out 2022 and his backstage altercation at All In.

New also confirmed there are NDAs in place. He noted the only person who could speak publicly about the incident was Lucy Guy, Steel's wife. Jericho corrected the story on his website, pointing out that he’s not under an NDA.
