If the WrestleMania weekend was the only one in the limelight, fans were thinking it wrong. The All Elite Wrestling (AEW) was also in the mix as the 4/10 episode of Dynamite shed light on a controversial topic, which includes CM Punk. Matt and Nick Jackson (The Young Bucks) released the backstage footage from All In that involved Jack Perry and CM Punk backstage at the Wembley Stadium. The footage was made public and was aired on Dynamite, and it had the wrestling fans talking. While it was a rather controversial move to involve a released superstar and try to put him in a bad light, their plans seemingly backfired.

The Young Bucks talked about their upcoming Dynasty matchup with FTR as they made an appearance on AEW Dynamite. Next, the argument between Jack Perry and CM Punk from the All-In clip was shown. But shortly after the altercation, Punk shoved Perry aside, causing a flurry of activity, until Samoa Joe and the backstage staff broke them up and put an end to it. 

The Young Bucks made a connection between everything and how, as businessmen, they were going through a lot when they faced FTR at All In and ultimately lost.
