However, it is important to understand the severity of the altercation before grasping the implications of it.

He joked about it on camera, possibly taking a dig at Punk, who had disagreed with using actual glass in Perry’s match. After the match, Perry and Punk argued backstage, and things got physical. After the conclusion of the show,Tony Khan revealed they were looking into what happened. Rumors spread that both Punk and Perry were suspended, and later, reliable wrestling reporter Sean Ross Sapp confirmed this later on. 

Fans were not expecting Tony Khan to take such a harsh decision against both of them. With the recent announcement of CM Punk being released from the contract, fans thought Perry was safe from the consequences.
