Video of the backstage altercation at All In between CM Punk and Jack Perry was shown on AEW Dynamite.
The Young Bucks introduced the footage, playing into their storyline with FTR who were associated with Punk during his run in the company. They ultimately blamed the backstage situation for their loss at All In against FTR.
The footage, which had no audio, showed Punk walking up to Perry and engaging in a conversation with him. Punk then suddenly shoved Perry and placed him in a front facelock. Samoa Joe, Jerry Lynn, and Chris Hero, who were in the area, immediately broke up the altercation. Punk could be seen talking to someone off-camera, as Sonjay Dutt could be seen talking to Perry. Malakai Black walked up to Punk to talk to him. The footage ends with Punk leaving.

In character, The Young Bucks praised Perry, calling him a “loveable kid. ” They did not name Punk, but said the “other individual” tried to make it about himself, someone who were good friends with FTR. They insinuated that FTR were the masterminds behind the altercation, though later took it back as it was unprofessional.
The altercation ultimately led to Punk’s firing from AEW and his return to the WWE a few months later at Survivor Series. Perry was suspended from the promotion and has since been working NJPW dates using the moniker “The Scapegoat,”. Matthew ended their segment on Wednesday showing he was wearing a Scapegoat t-shirt.
