Tony Khan, MJF, Adam Cole, and others addressed the media following AEW All In on Sunday.
Khan confirmed that an "incident" took place backstage during the show but stated he was unable to address it any further at this time.
Neither CM Punk nor Jack Perry took part in Sunday's media scrum following reports they had a physical altercation backstage at the event.
"I can't comment on it at this time beyond what I'm about to say, Yes there was an incident backstage before we went live on tonight's show," Khan said. "We are investigating it. Until I learn more about what happened, I can't really address it at this time. So, I can't comment but I did want to be honest and tell you that's the case."
Khan then confirmed the paid attendance of 81,035 for the show. When including staff, comps, and other non-paying attendees, he estimates over 90,000 people were in the building.
The AEW president then gave a prepared statement regarding the original All In event in 2018:
"All In began with four great pioneers: Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes, and The Young Bucks. They put together a great show roughly five years ago, five years ago next weekend, that changed pro wrestling. The original All In five years ago was the largest independent pro wrestling show of all time. Today, five years later AEW All In is the biggest pro wrestling show of all time period," Khan said.
Khan then brought out MJF as the first member of the roster to address the media. For the most part, talent kept in character throughout.
MJF
Before taking questions, MJF spoke about how the AEW locker room doesn't always get along but they come together to put on great wrestling shows.
"We're not just an alternative, we are a gang of fucking misfit toys, of guys that should have been/never was, guys that should never be in the position that we are in today," MJF said. "
"And yeah, sometimes we don't get along. News flash, I'm sure you motherfuckers got people at work you want to fucking headbutt in the mouth. But the fact of the matter is, yeah, we are misfits but guess what? we come together we put on the best fucking professional wrestling shows this world has ever fucking seen, and I put my fucking name on that."
The AEW champion continued to say he is ready to step up and be the face of the company.
MJF and Adam Cole media scrum notes
MJF said he would really like to perform in Aztec Stadium in Mexico City. Khan said that is something they would like to do under the right circumstances. Cole joined the scrum and answered questions along with MJF. MJF wasn't worried about wrestling earlier on the show "ruining his pop" in the main event. Cole spoke about having gone from worrying his career was over to wrestling in front of a record-breaking crowd. He said it's the happiest he's ever been. MJF said he respected him for coming back and Khan said he would have paid Cole every dime of his contract if he couldn't have.
