Jacksonville, December 25 - The aftermath of AEW All Out 2022 saw headlines dominated by CM Punk's AEW World Title win and a post-show altercation involving Punk, Ace Steel, Kenny Omega, and The Young Bucks. As details emerged, including the involvement of lawyers and signed NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements), Chris Jericho has stepped forward to share his perspective on the AEW Brawl Out 2022 incident.

Following his AEW World Title victory, CM Punk took to the post-show media scrum to express grievances with key figures in AEW, sparking a backstage altercation involving Punk, Ace Steel, Kenny Omega, and The Young Bucks.

According to Stephen P. New, the lawyer representing Punk and Steel, everyone involved in the incident signed NDAs, with the exception of Steel's wife, Lucy. The legal aftermath hinted at the seriousness of the backstage confrontation, raising questions about the transparency of information surrounding the incident.

In a pointed message directed at Stephen P. New, Jericho challenged the lawyer's assertions and provided a glimpse into what he witnessed backstage during the AEW Brawl Out 2022.

Jericho's statement on social media not only denies signing an NDA but also asserts that he was present in the room, witnessing the entire incident unfold.

Jericho also suggests that Lucy's behavior, along with her husband Ace Steel and others, played a role in the incident.
