CM Punk Was Allegedly Backstage During “All In” Press Conference

The rumor mill surrounding CM Punk making an appearance at “All In” is about to go into overdrive … because the ex-WWE champ was apparently backstage during the show’s press conference.

Jenn Sterger — who hosted the conference — spilled the beans during an interview on the latest Collider Bodyslam podcast.

“If you got your tickets at face value for this event, I’m just saying it literally might be the best in the world,” Sterger told the show. “I will only say someone wearing sweatpants and training for something walked into the back of the building that the press conference was in — with marks, mind you, lining the entire sidewalks in the front of the building — and I just kept thinking ‘if they knew you were back here, they would literally tear down the front of the store.’”

The host says CM Punk was allegedly there to pick up shirts from Pro Wrestling Tees, but none of the people involved in the event would confirm or deny if he’d be making an appearance at All In.

With a scheduled signing the day before the event, and the fact he lives in Chicago, Jenn told the show that she thinks it only makes sense for the UFC fighter to be there. Adding, “What better way — if you were going to make your return to wrestling — than the biggest indie show ever?”

“All In” Sells Out In Under An Hour

After months of speculation about whether a self-financed, ten-thousand-seat event put on by The Young Bucks and Cody could sell out, we finally have our answer … it’s yes.

Tickets went on-sale Sunday afternoon and it only took around thirty-minutes for All In at the Sears Centre Arena in Chicago, Illinois — which has a capacity of 11,800 people — to be considered a sell out. No word on the exact number of tickets sold as of yet.

Rhodes revealed that tickets, which went on sale Sunday afternoon, were sold out in just under a half hour officially at 29 minutes and 36 seconds.

As you may you recall, this comes about a year to the date after Cody Rhodes claimed he’d “take that bet” when Dave Meltzer tweeted saying Ring Of Honor wouldn’t be able to sell out a ten thousand seat plus arena “any time soon.”

As we first reported back in November of last year, Cody and the Young Bucks had started to put together the plans for the event and shortly after a date/venue were announced. Since then they’ve put together an incredible line-up of talent for the event including Kazuchika Okada, Deonna Purrazzo, Pentagon Jr, Rey Fenix, Tessa Blanchard, Stephen Amell and just announced earlier today – Rey Mysterio.

Cheeseburger and Eli Isom vs. The Dawgs

The match doesn’t get officially start when The Dawgs attack before the match officially starts. ROH Enforcer Bully Ray comes out and calls The Dawgs scumbags for doing this, especially after they weren’t even booked on the card. Isom gets taken out, Bully says if Cheeseburger can’t find a partner he’ll have to throw out the match. Cheeseburger wants Bully Ray to be his partner, Bully initially says no and then agrees and the match gets started.

Cheeseburger and Bully Ray vs. The Dawgs

Bully hits some big punches, Cheeseburger with a big chop. Bully nails a body slam. Cheeseburger does the “Wazzup!” headbutt from top rope. Bully calls for the tables and then chokeslams the heck out of Cheeseburger. Match just fizzles out. He gets on the mic, calls Cheeseburger a piss ant and didn’t appreciate him putting Bully on the spot. Bully says guys like Will Ospreay, Flip Gordon, and that “Nobody” Ricochet, the whole generation is selfish and entitled. Out comes ROH COO Joe Koff to see what Bully is doing. Bully calls him an “old bastard” and says the reason the wrestling business sucks is because Koff signs guys like Cheeseburger. Gordon comes to the ring and Bully grabs Cheeseburger and tells Gordon not to come in the ring or he will piledrive Cheeseburger. Bully says if he does it will get the show shut down and the fans won’t get Castle/Scurll and Cody/Omega. “Do you know who I am? I’m Bully Ray. I’m a WWE Hall of Famer.” He powerbombs Cheeseburger and bails.

Cody vs. Kenny Omega

Cody tries for a cross rhodes, no, both wrestlers gets shoved to the corner and they smash the referee. Double cross body and now all three guys are down. Out from the back comes The Young Bucks. They get in the ring and look to be talking about something. Bucks are sizing up Kenny and then now Cody. Superkicks to Cody, but he ducks and they hit Omega by mistake! Cody with cross rhodes, ref wakes up, cover, a very slow 1-2-3.

Winner: Cody

Post-match, Young Bucks check on Omega while Cody puts on his ring of honor and heads off. Omega shoves Matt and Nick away as he’s helped away.
