In a recent AEW event, Jack Perry faced off against CM Punk, resulting in a confrontation that has sparked considerable discussion online. During the encounter, CM Punk attacked Perry with either a punch or palm strikes, an action that seemingly had little effect on Perry, who was described as unphased and led to criticism of CM Punk, marking his third loss (0-3) in such confrontations. The event has also raised questions about the impact on Perry's popularity, as he was shown being hit and choked by an opponent 20 years his senior, in what was noted as his first confrontation of this nature. The strategy by AEW to enhance CM Punk's profile and create a spectacle has been met with mixed reactions, with some commentators suggesting that it may have backfired, particularly in how it portrayed Jack Perry. CM Punk's actions were also critiqued as characteristic of his perceived narcissistic tendencies. Despite the controversy, CM Punk has emerged as the number 1 trending topic in the United States, indicating significant public interest in the altercation.

Instead they embarrassed Jack Perry, this couldn't have backfired any funnier https://t.co/4oTgdD1ZKJ
AEW just made CM Punk an even bigger star and are trying to put the genie back in the bottle https://t.co/1HCCG7JEqt
Punk is a narcissistic fool, blowing his stack for no good reason for the 3,000,000th time in his life, but if you’re going to show a fight on a programme specifically dedicated to fighting it should look more sensational than that. https://t.co/AZjIbPVz8W
Jack Perry was literally playing with his hair and then CW Punk either punched him or palm strikes him … and Jack Perry wasn’t even phased. Thats a huge fuckin L for CW Punk. 0-3. https://t.co/NZHgAgu1Iq
AEW just super violated Jack Perry to pop a rating 🤣 how does it help Jack Perry’s popularity to show him get hit in the face and choked by a guy 20 years older? It was obvious that this was Perry’s first confrontation, he didn’t realize all that hand movement got him hit. https://t.co/jVArlh1vwm
