Fightful is reporting through their Select service that
former AEW star Ryan Nemeth, the brother of TNA champion Nic
Nemeth, had filed a complaint with AEW claiming abuse and
harassment from CM Punk while he was part of the company.
According to the document obtained by Fightful, Nemeth
backed up his complaints with copies of e-mails, phone call
logs, text messages, and other electronic records but AEW
failed to address the situation and instead, he was “ordered
to verbally antagonize” Punk on television in return.
Nemeth wanted changes to the AEW policies addressing
harassment and abuse and was also offered money in exchange
for signing an NDA. The document states that Nemeth was
offered three years salary in return for an NDA but that
offer was rescinded for unknown reasons.
Nemeth’s complaint started in April 2023 and went on for a
few months. He said that Punk threatened him in the locker
room after Nemeth tweeted that Punk was the “softest
wrestler alive.” His complaint went straight to Megha
Parekh, who at the time was the AEW Chief Legal Officer.
Three months after filing the complaint, Nemeth once again
got in touch with Parekh because his issue was not addressed
and was sent home a couple of times from TV. He was last
seen on AEW TV in November 2023 and his deal was not
renewed.
