• On The MMA Hour, CM Punk took some big shots at AEW and even called Tony Khan a clown.
Punk also said the following about Khan:
“He’s not a boss. He’s a nice guy. And I think ultimately that is a detriment to the company. But it’s not my company. I’m an outsider.”
Before the debut of AEW Collision in 2023, Punk told Khan to his face that All Elite Wrestling isn’t a real business that’s predicated on making money:
“A lot of people are gonna be upset. It’s not a real business; It’s not about selling tickets, it’s not about drawing money, it’s not about making money. It’s about having good matches maybe?”
Punk also took a shot at AEW’s recent attendance figures:
“If you’re more than happy with some goof saying you had a 5 star match & the building is a quarter full… then we’re not in the same business.”
During today’s ROH Supercard of Honor media call, Tony was asked to comment on what Punk said this week.
Here’s what Khan replied:
“I’d prefer not to talk about that. I’d really rather focus on the card and Supercard of Honor, but thanks for asking. I do appreciate you asking, and there’s plenty of interesting things we can talk about here.”
