Ryan Nemeth Files Complaint Against AEW Over CM Punk

Former AEW wrestler Ryan Nemeth has filed a complaint alleging harassment, threats, and abuse from CM Punk, claiming AEW failed to adequately respond to the incidents. The complaint, sent to AEW executives on September 12, 2023, includes a timeline of events, with Nemeth citing emails and texts as evidence. He claims to have contacted AEW legal representative Megha Parekh in April 2023, expressing concerns about being targeted by Punk, who allegedly threatened him in a locker room encounter in June. Despite assurances from AEW personnel that his relationship with the company would not be affected, Nemeth felt sidelined and was not booked for two months. After being encouraged to antagonize Punk in a promo, Nemeth believes he was effectively 'silently fired' as his contract neared expiration. The situation escalated following Punk's termination from AEW after a separate incident at AEW All Out.
