Another backstage incident was reported happening at AEW All Out.
The promotion has been plagued with multiple backstage altercations over the years. The most famous was the reported altercation between the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, Ace Steel and CM Punk at All Out in 2022. Another incident at Wembley Stadium in 2023 between Jack Perry and Punk resulted in the latter being fired from the company. More recently, Britt Baker was suspended for an altercation with MJF.
At the most recent PPV event in the Now Arena in Hoffman Estates, Chicago, another incident reportedly occurred. After the Chicago Street Fight between Willow Nightingale and Kris Statlander, several security members were seen running backstage, leading to speculation of a fight taking place behind the scenes.
Recently the AEW All Out 2024 Dave Meltzer star ratings were revealed.
Unidentified Member Of The AEW Roster Reportedly Involved In Backstage Incident
Addressing the situation on Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez confirmed there was a situation between an unidentified wrestler and an unnamed member of the production team.
“So before this match started, a bunch of security dudes just start sprinting backstage, and so everybody is asking ‘What happened? What happened?’ So what happened was, apparently, there was some incident with one of the wrestlers who was not on this show, they were shooting something backstage, and this wrestler and this production guy on into a big thing.
Some people have said it’s absolutely nothing, but it was big enough that security sprinted backstage. But I was told that whatever it was they apparently talked it out and everything ended up ok. But that’s why everybody was sprinting backstage.”
