According to the report from Fightful Select, Punk and Steel's meetings took place virtually via ZOOM; as neither man is currently in Buffalo, NY for tonight's episode of Dynamite.

The report also confirms other rumors that CM Punk was injured and will need surgery. Which will most likely prematurely end Punk's second reign as All Elite Wrestling World Champion.

On the flip side, an in-person talent meeting took place at approximately 4:15 PM EST. The meeting was said to be made up of on-screen talent including wrestlers, announcers, referees, and other officials. The meeting was allegedly led by Chris Jericho, former AEW Champion Jon Moxley, and Bryan Danielson.

The locker room is said to be extremely high on Chris Jericho at this time, as he is being given high praise for his "demeanor and resolve" during this chaotic situation.

Will AEW President Tony Khan release or suspend CM Punk?

As of now, there is no word on exactly what All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan will do to the current World Champion. However, some are speculating that Punk's time with the company may be coming to an end.

The company's latest tweet makes it clear that Khan will address the AEW galaxy about the the state of the World and Trio's Championship.

According to reports from earlier today, at least Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson have been suspended by the company.

It is currently unknown how long the suspension will last.
