Tony Khan addresses AEW star CM Punk's future in post-show media scrums
AEW President Tony Khan addressed the speculation surrounding CM Punk's future participation in post-show media scrums.
During the Forbidden Door II post-show media scrum, Khan said he would gladly welcome him back for another one.
"He's great in these, and he's been doing a lot of media. He would've been great in this, I would be happy to do a press conference with him. He's been doing a lot of great media this week to build up the shows. No, I thought he had a great match tonight, and it's been a really big couple of weeks having him back. It's been a very positive influence for the company. I think he's been doing a lot of media, and I'm sure we'll get him out doing more media this week to promote the shows ... and he's a big part of what's happening in AEW right now," said Khan.
Following Punk's outburst in September 2022 on The Elite, Hangman Adam Page, and Colt Cabana, there were speculations that he would not be allowed to participate in future post-show media scrums. However, Khan has clarified that the absence was not indicative of a ban.
