DJ Whoo Kid is a DJ, radio personality, and producer who gained prominence as a mixtape DJ and has been associated with several well-known artists, including 50 Cent and G-Unit.
He was a guest at last August's All In at London's Wembley Stadium (where he performed during Sweve Strickland's entrance) and has revealed the first details about what happened in that backstage brawl between CM Punk and Jack Perry which led to the former being fired by AEW.
"It was crazy. It’s ongoing they told me, this has been an ongoing…that was the last straw. It was the biggest moment for AEW and I guess he was trying to sabotage that moment," Kid said of Punk in an interview on Sirius X's Jim and Sam show. "He wasn't trying to go out there. I'm in the middle. You know me, I'm the fly on the wall."
"It was very intense. I always thought it was fake and sh*t. It's more real...the sh*t that's crazy is there was a yelling moment where [Somoa Joe] was like "Yo, [frick] this sh*t this is our moment, everybody get the [frick] out there and do your sh*t. It was very intense. I always respect wrestling after I saw that."
This is clearly a very loose retelling of events but he'd go on to suggest that Punk instigated a fight with Perry when he arrived backstage and that Joe was the one who stepped in to break it up.
"The big guy. The Hawaiian-looking [dude]. It was the guy going ham and I was like, 'Oh shit.' Then blood was everywhere from the [match] before that. They came in and they were bleeding. I was like, 'What is going on around here?' This was intense."
A full explanation of what happened still hasn't been revealed, though Punk is believed to have confronted Perry after he took a shot at him during the All In pre-show. That was the straw which broke the camel's back for the Best in the World after months of unprofessionalism behind the scenes in AEW.
When he fired Punk, AEW President Tony Khan said he felt "[my] security, my safety, my life, was in danger at a wrestling show." Kid's comments don't point to that being the case and WWE had no issue with binging Punk back into the fold.
