While speaking to Inside the Ropes, Jim Ross talked about the backstage fight between CM Punk and Jack Perry at AEW All In 2023. He said he was heading out for his match when it happened and thought the whole thing was embarrassing. He didnt care who started it, he just felt it wasnt the right time or place, and both guys shouldve held back and dealt with it later.
Ross said CM Punk is a good friend and a good person, but he was wrong for escalating the situation. Ross thinks Jack Perry was probably really nervous or scared, even if hed never admit it because it wouldnt sound macho.
Ross added that he missed the actual fight but was told about it during the show. He thought it was a mess and said things backstage were too heated. He called the situation b******** and said it shouldve never happened.
When asked what he wouldve done if he were in charge, Ross said he wouldve stopped it right away. He said you cant let people bring personal problems on TV, and if someone refuses to follow that rule, they would be fired.
Ross said its more important to work as a team than try to act tough. He likes both Punk and Perry, and called Perry a fearless kid, but said the whole fight was just ego and pride getting in the way.
AEW would ultimately release footage of CM Punk and Jack Perrys brawl but it ultimately backfired on the company. Regardless, everyone has ultimately moved on from the situation but many fans simply felt it could have been avoided.
