CM Punk is not in Chicago for tonight's AEW Dynamite, PWInsider.com has confirmed.
Punk was in Las Vegas yesterday to be lauded by the Cauliflower Alley Club and was still in Vegas as of a few hours ago as he will officially receive his Iron Mike Mazurki Award tonight. The award “is bestowed upon individuals who have made exceptional contributions to professional wrestling and have exhibited outstanding dedication to the sport both inside and outside the ring.”
Sports Illustrated reported yesterday that Punk and Jack Perry were both suspended from AEW due to their backstage skirmish at AEW All In: London. AEW has not publicly confirmed that. Some AEW sources conceded there was a suspension today to PWInsider but others have not, stating they were "not aware" that was official.
Chicago, obviously is Punk's hometown, so with AEW running three events this week, if he does not appear in some form by the end of the run, it will obviously be noticeable.
As we noted earlier, Jack Perry was said to not be backstage at tonight's Dynamite taping at the NOW Arena.
