According to Dave Meltzer, several top stars in AEW stated that they are not willing to work with CM Punk.

In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Meltzer reported that the feeling backstage is that Punk will not be back with the company.

"A few names were mentioned with Chris Jericho being the name mentioned most but that many, if not most, of the key top names were saying that they wouldn’t work with him," Meltzer wrote.

From the WON:

Another top star in AEW said, “Punk won’t be back. His value on screen isn’t one percent worth the hassle and black cloud he causes backstage.”

Fightful Select reported that Jericho confronted Punk backstage at All Out following the media scrum and altercation with Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks, reportedly telling Punk he was "a cancer to the locker room and a detriment to the company."

Meltzer reported recently that AEW is in negotiations with Punk over a buyout of his contract with a holdup being the length of a non-compete clause.

On Wednesday, Wrestling Inc.'s Nick Hausman reported that those from Punk's camp said Punk's dog Larry was injured during the backstage altercation. Larry was said to have been hit in the face by the locker room door when it was "kicked in" by the Young Bucks. At a veterinarian appointment a few days later, Larry had to have two teeth removed.

However, the story is being denied by those from The Elite's camp.

From the WON:

“A completely made up story,” said one person regarding the story. “He’s (Punk) losing (in the investigation results) and is desperate. There was a multiple weeks long investigation and this was oddly not discovered? Hmm. Also, it’s so happened to be mentioned the moment there was news about (the Bucks & Omega) possibly coming back? It’s insane that people would even humor this.”

“The dog story is a complete lie," said a neutral party who was in the locker room seconds after the incident occurred. "When the altercation was happening Punk was a total psycho."

"Kenny picked the dog up to save him from being hurt and gave him to Megha. Megha was holding the dog screaming at Punk to stop. Punk didn’t even register that his `baby’ was being held by a stranger in the middle of a fight. It didn’t stop him one bit.”
