As noted before, AEW terminated CM Punk’s contract this past September following their investigation into his backstage incident with Jack Perry and confrontation with AEW CEO Tony Khan at their All In event this past August.
A recent episode of SiriusXM’s Jim Norton & Sam Roberts Faction Talk radio show featured DJ Whoo Kid as the guest. One of the topics discussed included DJ Whoo Kid revealing that he witnessed Punk and Perry’s backstage brawl at AEW’s All In event. DJ Whoo Kid co-performed Swerve Strickland’s live musical entrance at the event.
“You already know what happened in the back (at AEW All In). It was straight brawl city. So I’m not gonna talk about that. It was blood and killing… You might as well say it (happened as I described it)… And I was right there.
Because we were next (those who’d be making entrance with Swerve Strickland), so they told us to be ready to go… It was crazy.
It’s ongoing, they told me. This has been like an ongoing — so that was the last straw.
But then think about it, it was like the biggest moment for AEW and I guess he was trying to sabotage that moment. He wasn’t trying to go out there and that’s when — and I’m in the middle like, you know me, I’m the fly on the wall… It was very intense. I always thought it was fake and all this sh*t… (Host asks if there were punches thrown) What!? Punches? It was wrestling back there. It was like, DDT, everything. Alright, I’m exaggerating but the sh*t that’s crazy is there was a yelling moment where he was like, ‘Yo, f*ck this sh*t. This is our moment. Everybody get the f*ck out there and do your sh*t’ and I was just like, I don’t even know how to wrestle but I was about to go out there. It was very intense man. I will always respect wrestling after I saw that… (Whoo Kid was asked who made the remark about, ‘This is our moment’) It was the big guy. I don’t know. The Hawaiian (expletive). The Hawaiian-looking (expletive)… But it was a guy that was going ham and I was just like, ‘Oh sh*t’ and then blood was everywhere from the fight before that. They came in and they’re bleeding and everything. I was like, ‘Yo, what is going on around here?’ This is intense.”
