It seems we now know why CM Punk sent Christopher Daniels home from AEW Collision.
It was reported on Sunday evening that Daniels was amongst a group of four AEW stars who had been recently sent home from AEW Collision tapings. This was something that surprised many, as Daniels is the current head of talent relations for All Elite Wrestling. However, with Punk being one of the biggest stars in the company, it seems his power outranks Daniels’.
Haus Of Wrestling have now reported that Punk sent Daniels home for a specific reason dating back to AEW All Out 2022.
Haus of Wrestling has confirmed that at least two of these men not being backstage at Collision stem from issues with CM Punk. Notably, Christopher Daniels’ involvement in the post-AEW All Out altercation was specifically portrayed to us as the reason The Fallen Angel is not at Collision. Since Ace Steel, Punk’s good friend, was also involved in the altercation but not allowed to return backstage for Collision, Punk is said to feel the same about Daniels and does not want him backstage either.

This report comes just days after CM Punk took shots at Hangman Adam Page after Saturday’s edition of AEW Collision.
Haus Of Wrestling also provided a note on Ryan Nemeth, who was sent home from Saturday’s Collision.
As for Nemeth, we have also confirmed his comments on Twitter, where he called Punk the “softest man alive” from his now-deactivated account, did him no favors, and is the reason he was asked to leave Collision. Punk is said to not be looking for any drama backstage at Collision and felt Nemeth’s previous comments showed his willingness to unnecessarily stir the pot in the locker room.

We will have to wait and see if other talent will be effected by Punk’s influence in the coming weeks but for now, four talent have been asked to either leave or not attend Collision tapings due to him.
