Dave Meltzer confirmed on Wrestling Observer Radio Wednesday morning that Steel is no longer under contract with the company.
“So he was officially released yesterday," Meltzer said. "So I guess that is the first bit of news out of that whole situation in weeks. There’s a lot of other stuff going on."
Steel was part of a backstage altercation that took place during the AEW All Out media scrum on September 5 between CM Punk, The Young Bucks, and Kenny Omega following negative comments Punk made during the scrum involving them. Reports at the time said that during the altercation, Steel joined in, at one point biting Omega. AEW has since suspended everyone involved and has not publicly commented on the situation.
Steel had joined AEW in 2022, working backstage as a producer. Prior to All Out, he appeared in a promo with Punk encouraging him to take Jon Moxley’s open challenge for the event after Punk had doubts following his loss to Moxley the prior week. Punk was eventually convinced to take the rematch.

One piece of garbage gone, one to go. Unfortunately I foresee hearing nothing for months only to have Punk return after he’s healed as the biggest heel in AEW history. I don’t know why, but I don’t see him getting fired, even though this whole thing is his fault.

Certainly won’t be upset if Punk stays. Imagine won’t be long before the elite come back too.

I don’t know why, but I don’t see him getting fired, even though this whole thing is his fault. I agree with you. And while I also believe he's at fault, I must admit, Punk as the biggest heel around would be very entertaining. I also wonder if it's possible we could eventually see MJF as a babyface world champion to go against him. |

I mean, good. Like, you can't go around biting your bosses.

He and Punk cost me the elite in Canada. Glad he's gone and hope I never have to see that other loser ever again. I know how you feel man,if I got to see Kenny on the anniversary show couple weeks back. I think it would've been almost a perfect show for me with all my favs being there. Him and Black would've put it over the top for me but thanks to their 3 year old tantrums a lot of fans missed out. |

I don’t know why, but I don’t see him getting fired, even though this whole thing is his fault. And three weeks after Punk returns he gets all pissy and this happens again. It's not worth it. |

Ace Steel biting Omega is hilarious. CM Punks rep is gone at this point. Made a fool of himself in UFC and AEW after both companys gave him so much hype.
