There is news coming out of the investigation into the backstage fight that occurred last month after AEW All Out.
Dave Meltzer reported today that Ace Steel has been let go by the company. Steel worked as a producer and is a close friend of CM Punk. According to reports, Steel was involved in the fight and threw a chair that hit Nick Jackson in the face.
“He was officially released yesterday,” Meltzer said. “That is the first bit of news out of that whole situation in weeks. He was released and there’s a lot of other stuff going on but it’s just stuff going on. There’s nothing else really to it but he was released yesterday.”
As of this writing, there is no word yet on the fate of the others who were involved in the fight. All sides have remained quiet until now. In the case of Punk, he is injured so if he remains with the company, he would not return to TV until he recovers from his injury.
