Former UFC champ Josh Barnett offers to help AEW CEO Tony Khan maintain discipline amid backstage issues, following CM Punk's controversial firing. A surprising MMA-wrestling collaboration grabs fan attention.
AEW faced backstage controversies, notably during 'All In,' their premier pay-per-view. Jungle Boy (Jack Perry) and CM Punk clashed on-camera, sparking a backstage physical altercation. AEW reacted by suspending both initially. Later, CM Punk was terminated due to professional misconduct. This followed a previous backstage brawl at the AEW All Out PPV involving The Elite and CM Punk.
Given ongoing backstage incidents, Josh Barnett's offer to help Tony Khan maintain AEW discipline sparks wrestling community interest. Barnett's tough, cross-athlete reputation intrigues fans and insiders. Will Khan accept? Barnett's entry might change AEW's backstage discipline. As the wrestling world watches, time will tell if Barnett delivers on an orderly AEW.
