Jon Moxley supported 40-year-old star after CM Punk threatened him backstage in AEW - Reports

AEW World Champion Jon Moxley reportedly extended his support for a popular star after CM Punk threatened him. The reported incident took place last year.

The 40-year-old star in question is Ryan Nemeth. He was signed with AEW from 2021 until his departure earlier this year. He is currently a part of the TNA roster along with his brother, Nic Nemeth (fka Dolph Ziggler in WWE). During his time in Tony Khan's promotion, Ryan reportedly had a backstage beef with CM Punk.

According to the latest report from Fightful Select, Ryan Nemeth contacted AEW's former legal representative, Megha Parekh, on June 21, 2023, regarding concerns that Punk (aka Phil Brooks) might target him. Furthermore, the current WWE Superstar threatened Ryan Nemeth backstage, and Tony Schiavone, The Young Bucks, and Parekh showed him empathy.

It was also reported that Nemeth wasn't booked on TV for the next two months following his incident with Punk. Nonetheless, Jon Moxley reportedly contacted and supported Ryan Nemeth. The report concluded that The Young Bucks, Megha Parekh, and Moxley were very helpful to Nemeth during the whole situation.
