Now Bryan Alvarez & Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer reports that CM Punk has been Suspended due to his backstage fight with Elite ,Meltzer added that Punk is injured & need to surgery so he is out for almost 8 months & A lot of people in AEW don’t want him Back. Here is what Dave states
“He may have already undergone surgery, but either way he’s undergoing surgery, and it was not confirmed to me it was a torn tricep, but it was confirmed to me that it’s surgery for a torn muscle in the arm, so it’s triceps/biceps, maybe pec, but probably triceps. And that’s usually about an eight-month recovery period. So he was gonna be stripped of the title either way, so that move was pretty easy to do.”
“Punk’s out for eight months, or whatever it’s going to be, six months/eight months, whatever. If he’s not let go, and a lot of people don’t want him back.” H/T Wrestle Purists
