Things have now cooled down a little, but back in the day, there were talks of things getting out of control following the AEW All-Out Altercation.
Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks were away from AEW television from AEW All Out to AEW Full Gear due to their role in the feud with CM Punk and Ace Steel at AEW All Out. Following the issues, The previous parties were suspended, Steel was fired, and there is no indication and assurance as to whether Punk will return.
Speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Omega was asked about the incident and here is how he responded.
“There are things no one can talk about, so I’d encourage people to let it go,” said Omega. “It doesn’t change that we want a team effort in AEW. I don’t even mean implicitly myself and my opponent. It also means the referee, the fans, the people who set up the ring, everyone–even a technical error can ruin the memory of a match.
I can refer back to the exploding barbed wire death match. So I encourage people to move away from it because there is no information to be released. Though I cannot talk about it, I do want the fans to know I still want the best for pro wrestling.”
"The day after the pay-per-view, I was absolutely devastated by the loss of Jason David Frank,” he said. “He’s one of my childhood heroes. That evening, there was a mass shooting at an LGBTQ club where five people died. It’s absolutely terrible.
After such tragedy, it puts everything in perspective. This isn’t Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks against CM Punk. It is people trying to show off their craft. You can boo Kenny Omega, or the Young Bucks, or CM Punk, but I hope people don’t forget we’re human beings struggling to show our art.”
