As part of AEW All Out week, talents received an email discussing a number of points for the week as the company has a lot of different events going on. PWInsider.com is told one of those points was to be careful not to use expletives on live TV this week for all the obvious reasons.
Well, obviously, AEW Producer Ace Steel dropped a curse during his fired up promo with CM Punk last night in Chicago.
PWInsider.com has learned that talents were informed today that Steel immediately returned backstage after the promo and took responsibility for the error. He agreed to a fine, which was paid and according to today's communication from the company, will be donated to a charity.
We are told the company's communication today pointed out and praised Ace's immediate reaction as an example of how to deal with errors and accept responsibility for them when they accidentally occur.
