What Exactly Happened Between CM Punk and Jack Perry?

Per his claims, CM Punk and Jack Perry came across each other before the former’s fight against Samoa Joe went live on air.
“Punk was waiting in the Gorilla position,” reported Hausman.
Meanwhile, he accused CM Punk of beginning the verbal exchange that quickly escalated into a verbal confrontation.
Hausman further said, “The conversation quickly escalated, leading to Perry asking Punk to ‘do something about it. This is when Punk shoved Perry, Perry responded by shoving Punk back, and then Punk put him in what is being described as a chokehold.”
“We’re told Punk viewed putting Perry in a chokehold as a way to neutralize the situation, as he’s a trained fighter and does not want to have to fight Perry. No punches were thrown, as far as we know.”
After the official investigation unfolds, fans can get a clearer picture of what went down between CM Punk and Jack Perry at AEW” All In London.
