Cover Star Removed
There are many reasons presently impacting the release of AEW Fight Forever, and the controversy surrounding CM Punk could be a factor as well.
When we got the major announcement of AEW Fight Forever being available for pre-order, it included the reveal of the game's official cover art.
This included several top wrestlers, but the front and centre AEW Fight Forever cover star was none other than CM Punk, at the time one of the company's biggest names.
As seen in the early announcement teaser above, the art showcasing the game featured CM Punk as the most prominent superstar, and this rang true when the official cover seen below was confirmed.

Following a backstage altercation after AEW All Out and an ensuing investigation, other names involved have returned to AEW while CM Punk remains missing in action.
Nothing is confirmed as of yet, but multiple reports indicate it's unlikely CM Punk will return to AEW and is just hammering out details of the contract buyout.
