Ace Steel, a backstage coach for AEW, wound up playing a pivotal role on this week's AEW Dynamite in setting up the AEW World Championship match between CM Punk and Jon Moxley. After Punk began to doubt himself in a promo midway through the match, Steel (Punk's real-life best friend and former trainer) interrupted and gave him the pep talk he needed in order to accept the rematch with Moxley. Unfortunately, Steel got a little too heated during the segment and dropped an uncensored F-bomb on TV. 

According to PWInsider, AEW sent out a talent email for All Out week which included a reminder to not curse while on TV. Steel reportedly apologized as soon as he returned backstage and agreed to pay a fine that was delivered to him. Said fine will be donated to charity. Steel's willingness to accept responsibility was well-received.

Punk will now face Moxley in a rematch from last week's Dynamite, in which he lost in a mere three minutes after reaggravating the foot injury that kept him on the shelf for several months. He now has the chance to become a two-time AEW World Champion just outside of his hometown of Chicago.
