The altercation between Perry and Punk at AEW All In is often seen as a low point in AEW's history, but it has not been ignored. The Young Bucks, as part of their heel characters, showed footage from moments before Punk's match with Samoa Joe, including the incident with Perry. Since then, Perry has aligned with Team Elite, and many believe the incident helped him develop his character. Before this, he struggled to find his identity in AEW. During his suspension, he embraced his role as a heel and even made a successful debut in Japan, where fans received him well.
McIntyre and Punk have had a personal rivalry for the past few months, especially after Punk's injury at the Royal Rumble. McIntyre is determined to take down Punk, whom he sees as a threat to the company. Their feud has included backstage fights, intense in-ring promos, and McIntyre even stealing Punk's bracelet, which has the names of his wife AJ Mendez (formerly known as AJ Lee in WWE) and his dog Larry. Rollins, meanwhile, is not necessarily looking to settle scores but isn't afraid to get involved if things go wrong. Punk unintentionally cost Rollins a chance to win back the World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank, leading to lingering tensions between them.
During the promo on Raw, Rollins made it clear that he is in charge. "You two will listen to everything I have to say. I call the shots. I'm the boss. I'm the law," he told McIntyre and Punk. He also warned them against trying to take advantage of him, stating, "I'm a spiteful little bastard and I will put your head in the dirt." When McIntyre took the mic, it led to Punk getting angry, but as established last week, they were reminded that if they lay hands on each other before their match at SummerSlam, the match would be called off.
