Punk's rumored injury, CM Punk & Ace Steel's side of the AEW All Out Fight (Patreon)

Fightful Select has learned more about the fight that went down at AEW All Out, as being told to people close to the Ace Steel-CM Punk side of things.
Per the Punk/Steel side of things -- After the scrum, The Young Bucks approached Punk's locker room, and Punk wasn't answering the door after having been in a long match, bloodied, and finished with an emotional scrum. The Bucks were said to have pounded on the door, with claims that they "kicked the door down." According to Punk and Steel's side of things, Matt Jackson swung first, but missed and Punk responded. We're told at that point Nick was pretty much taking it in. Omega and Steel pushed their way into the room.
Ace Steel's wife was in the room, which is what Steel had told people set him off and made him go ballistic, throwing chairs and ending up biting someone. The claim made from him was that he was looking out for his wife above anything else.
From what we heard, Omega didn't seem nearly as upset initially, but things got out of hand and he ended up being bitten. We're told the fight was a "very long" altercation, and that the talk back and forth did not stop after the brawl.
There were rumors that CM Punk had injured his triceps during the fracas. However, those near him say that it happened during a dive that many noticed during the AEW All Out Main event. He could be seen icing it after the match during the scrum. We haven't been told of any severity, but were told Punk was "hurt" going into the backstage fight.
We need to point out, this is what we've heard as one side of the story, which we haven't heard much of until this point.
There are rumors running rampant that Steel and Punk are both done with AEW, but those close to them say they haven't been informed of that as of yet. Virtually all of the AEW roster we've spoken with believe that if Punk & Steel aren't let go, heavy amends will need to be made.
