Following CM Punk's bombshell interview on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani where he discussed at length his departure from AEW for the first time, AEW decided to fire back at some of Punk's claims, including the situation with Jack Perry. They advertised that this week's episode of Dynamite wouldfeature footage fromAEW All In where Punk and Perry got into a heated altercation after Perry provoked Punk with his comments about "real glass." His match against Samoa Joe was his final match in AEW as he would then be fired just weeks later ahead of AEW All Out.
