AEW’s All Out 2022 pay-per-view is better known nowadays for the shocking backstage altercation between CM Punk, Ace Steel, and The Elite’s Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson. And while many of the details surrounding that ill-fated night have been shared online, nobody involved has ever publicly confirmed anything.
Yet, there is now hope that the whole story will come out one day. That is because Stephen P New, the lawyer Punk and Steel hired to represent them, has revealed during an interview on Rip Rogers podcast that Steel’s wife Lucy, who was present at the time, wasn’t required to sign a non-disclosure agreement, unlike everyone else.
“The only person, and granted she’s not completely objective and unbiased, the only person not subject to an NDA and not subject to confidentiality provisions is Ace’s wife Lucy. Maybe one day she tells the story.”
Stephen P. NewFollowing “Brawl Out,” which is what the fight became known as online, Tony Khan suspended the men involved as well as Pat Buck, Christopher Daniels, Brandon Cutler, and Michael Nakazawa while a full investigation was carried out. Yet, within a few weeks, Buck, Daniels, Cutler, and Nakazawa had their suspensions lifted as it was deemed they were only trying to break up the fight.
Later, Punk, Steel, and the three members of The Elite involved would also return to the promotion. However, they never settled their differences, and Punk and Steele would eventually depart for good after Punk was involved in a second similar altercation at All In with Jack Perry.
