Everyone in Wagner was about to be conscripted into the regular Russian Army as the latest in an ongoing power struggle between Wagner's boss and the Russian MoD. So to avoid losing his private army, the boss has stepped up the power struggle to an attempted coup, basically.

The coup will be crushed, but it will weaken the Russian military even more and they lose their (now former) elite forces

Who's going to crush them? The Russian military? They are going to join them.

Well, according to newest updates apparently not.

My money isn't on the Russian Army being able to "crush" anything tougher than a chicken egg at this point.
