I'm not sure it's good for a guy who has been kidnapped the past two weeks to be locked in a cage with a large man who is made out of rock.

More on Ace Steel/CM Punk/Young Bucks/Kenny Omega fight

We've learned more about the AEW brawl after All Out.

PWInsider has reported that after the scrum, he returned to his locker room, where Young Bucks and Kenny Omega confronted him. We can confirm that Punk and Young Bucks had a physical altercation, but haven't heard the same for Omega. Instead, Omega and Ace Steel were said to have had one, as mentioned earlier.

We're told that "Ace Steel shoot cracked Nick Jackson with a chair," with another person saying they think he's lucky to not be in jail. Several sources in AEW that we spoke with said that they believe Ace Steel will not be back in the company after this incident. PWinsider had also noted Steel's wife was said to have been around, caring for Punk's dog. The story of Nick Jackson having a black eye came from Steel throwing a chair at him.

Security was called and there were "many people" trying to break everything up. One person outright said it was a situation of "them trying to save lives." There was an incredible amount of heat on Ace Steel after this situation, with one person saying they weren't sure what happened, but that "it couldn't have possibly escalated to hitting someone with a chair."

The argument continued with a lot of cursing and shouting until The Elite left the area. We've heard from people who are siding with both, saying that Punk's comments prompted the situation, and others saying the Elite shouldn't have approached Punk while he was clearly pissed off. However, the large majority seem to think that Punk should have expected to have been approached about it.

PWInsider noted how FTR had left the building by then. They posted on Twitter that they were bonding with others in the locker room over a bottle of Woodford Reserve (gifted by Strong Style's Cher Delaware). It would seem like they, as well as many others in the locker room who had long left, would have likely not been in any condition to have a gang warz situation unfold.

Chris Jericho was credited by several that we spoke to for stepping up even more so in a leadership role over the past couple of weeks. Multiple sources cited his calm demeanor at the scrum in the middle of all of the wildness that was going on, and him speaking at the AEW talent meeting recently.

For those asking, we've not heard of any cameras catching things.
