📰 AEW NEWS & RUMORS

MJF’s knee injury

Jericho backlash

• Jericho responded to criticism over the “Tommy’s Mommy” segment. Chris Jericho’s “Tommy’s Mommy” moment came during the June 10, 2026 episode of AEW Dynamite: Summer Blockbuster, when he was feuding with Tommaso Ciampa. The exchange began when Ciampa confronted Tony Schiavone, and Jericho interrupted, repeatedly calling Ciampa “Tommy.” Ciampa retorted that he’s the “Psycho Killer” and that not even his own mother calls him Tommy. Jericho then quipped, “Tommy’s Mommy,” prompting the Cincinnati crowd to chant the phrase. Credit: ewrestlingnews

Isiah Kassidy’s absence

• Not injured — simply not being used on TV currently. Private Party has been dealing with another setback after Marq Quen was confirmed to be out of action earlier this year. During the April 2 episode of AEW Collision, Kassidy addressed Jon Moxley and revealed that Quen had been taken out with no clear return timeline.
• “Fast forward to last weekend. I’m forced to change again. Because you took out my boy. And now he’s out. And I don’t know when he’s coming back. So now I’m all alone.”

CM Punk rumors

• Internal belief that the door isn’t fully closed on Punk returning someday. Fightful Select reports, “AEW sources gave me the “never say never” line when I asked if CM Punk has a burned bridge with the company.”
