Our original story from earlier today is below.
According to Fightful and PWInsider Elite, CM Punk and Jack Perry got into some sort of physical altercation backstage at Sunday’s All In London event at Wembley Stadium.
It was said the altercation took shortly before Punk match Samoa Joe. Perry made reference to a reported incident that took place at Collision a few weeks ago, where Punk had talked to Perry about the dangers of using real glass during a planned angle. During his pre-show match with Hook, real glass was used during a car spot, with Perry saying, “Real Glass Cry Me A River,” which was a shot at Punk.
Perry was said to be unhappy with how the previous reports of his Collision disagreement with Punk had been made public, which is why he had made the comments during Sunday’s Zero Hour pre-show.
There have been some media outlets reporting that fans said there was a lot of shouting, with security rushing backstage to assist with the altercation.
We will provide more details should they become available.
