Grappler files complaint against AEW, claims being threatened by CM Punk
Ryan Nemeth has filed a complaint against AEW, alleging harassment and threats by CM Punk and accusing AEW of failing to address the issues. His claims include being threatened by Punk in June 2023, being removed from an event at Punk’s request in August, and being pressured to antagonize Punk publicly. Nemeth says AEW sidelined him, ignored creative pitches, and failed to take action despite his repeated complaints.
His contract expired in March 2024, following his last AEW appearance in November 2023. AEW offered him a settlement tied to an NDA, which was later withdrawn. Nemeth, who sought mental health support over the ordeal, is advocating for policy changes and financial compensation, while expressing appreciation for some AEW personnel who supported him during the dispute.

I’ve been told the “C” in CM Punk stands for cancer. Based on his past history, the WWE better have put in a watertight performance clause in their contract with him.
“being pressured to antagonize Punk publicly”
Annnnd over a year after leaving the company, CM Punk is still at the epicenter of AEW.
Ryan Nemeth was in AEW?

In AEW Dark… From where (if memory serves correct) he disappeared around when talented brother signed with TNA…
Ryan Nemeth is an insecure person. Briley Pierce couldn’t hack it in WWE, Ryan Nemeth couldn’t hack it on his own. He’s gotta latch on to someone since he doesn’t have Peter Avalon anymore.
