CM Punk's future with AEW following the backstage altercation at All Out is allegedly bleak.

The Second City Saint began his second reign as AEW World Champion at the All Out pay-per-view on September 5th in Chicago. Following the event at the media scrum, Punk did not mince words when it came to the promotion's EVP's and top stars of Tony Khan's promotion.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful recently reported in a tweet that while there has been no official announcement on the matter, a lot of AEW talent he conversed with believe that Punk would either have to be let go or make up for his behavior with the promotion.

His comments did not sit well with Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). The newly crowned AEW Trios Champions allegedly approached Punk, who threw some punches. His real-life friend Ace Steel got involved in the brawl and reportedly bit Omega and flung a chair at Nick, leaving him with a black eye. Earlier this evening, it was reported that Steel might be departing from Tony's promotion after the backstage fiasco.

On the same night, MJF made his highly-anticipated return to All Elite Wrestling after three months of being nearly non-existent. None of the other talents in the Jacksonville-based promotion had the slightest clue of him returning. The Salt of the Earth gesture to CM Punk that he was going after his title next.

What do you think of CM Punk's future with All Elite Wrestling? Sound off in the comments.
