The trigger to it was Perry's comments to the camera about his glass spot during his match with HOOK that enraged Punk enough that he stormed into the room that Khan was in and started yelling at him over it.

Based on those spoken to, Keller reported that the working relationship between Punk and Khan might be getting to the point where it is beyond repair.

This would explain why AEW quickly went to Punk's lawyer to inform him of Punk's suspension and them also quickly contacting Warner Bros over what Punk did and why he got pulled from the plans for this Sunday's All Out show. WBD did not have any issue with it after they got told which could be a sign that even WBD has gotten tired of Punk after being all in on him in AEW and his biggest supporter after Khan.

In regards to the dumb post made by someone in the wrestling forum over the claim that WBD would pull their TV deal for Collision if Punk leaves. Not only is that not likely at all, Punk was only responsible for Collision being a two hour show. WBD & AEW had already been talking way beforehand of a second tv show for AEW and on Saturdays but as a one hour show.
