As per the statement from Stephen New, the only person that can reveal about the Brawl Out incident is Ace Steel’s wife Lucy. Chris Jericho went on social media and said that he has not signed a NDA and he had the rights to reveal the details about the brawl.
Hey @StephenPNew– I don’t adhere to an employee handbook and have NEVER had one in 4 years of working for @aew. Ive also never signed an NDA in my life ….ever. So stop trying to be a bully and making egotistical fantasy brags for your clients, and start doing some research… https://t.co/P8Fjda7d9K

Recently Jim Cornette addressed this issue on his official Youtube Channel. Cornette said, “Again, people lost their minds, apparently what little they have… They have somehow, to figure out a way to dislike all of us at the same time.”
He also added, “The idea of Jim Cornette and CM Punk sharing some idea or concept or mutual friend of f***** viewpoint, inflamed people to where they completely lost track of their f***** senses and showhow equated that to both of us somehow becoming right-wingers… It’s insane, now that Punk has gone back to the WWE, has he abandoned his principles? What? What the f***?”
God, Chris, it's Xmas–slap Tony's dick out of your mouth, you've got his Dad's money the next 10 years & the Buckaroos will still let you play with the cool kids. You don't have to tell the truth, just QUIT LYING, Punk is sorry he made a difference in AEW business & you haven't. https://t.co/xOKbOSAevz

In the same interview, Cornette addressed the statement speculating that CM Punk and him are right wingers. Cornette said, “Calling me a right-winger? They’ve gone too far, Brian [Cornette’s co-host]. Especially in support of those they allegedly supporting. They’re buckaroos fans, AEW fans, fans of people we blister.”
Cornette added, “We say bad things about their favorite wrestlers, and they’re the ones, that are either fanatical in some right-winged way… The Khans gave money to [Donald] Trump, so did [Chris] Jericho. And his wife went to the insurrection and bragged about it on Facebook. But Punk and I are somehow in this f***** ilk?”
