Tony Khan must bring in 4-time WWE Champion as the face of Collision if CM Punk leaves AEW
Following recent reports of a backstage altercation between CM Punk and Jack Perry, it has been rumored that Punk may be looking to leave AEW. If Punk does indeed leave, Tony Khan will need to find a replacement to headline his show, Collision.
One potential option for Khan is four-time WWE Champion Edge, who is rumored to soon be a free agent, after his contract with the Stamford-based promotion expires.
Following Edge's final match on his WWE contract that ended with his triumphant victory over Sheamus on SmackDown, the wrestling world has been buzzing with speculation of a potential switch to AEW.
Recent reports indicate that CM Punk has reportedly warned Tony Khan about the possibility of him leaving the promotion, after a physical altercation with "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry at AEW All In. The alleged incident took place before Punk's match with Samoa Joe, which was the opening contest of the show.
If Punk does decides to leave the promotion, this situation might provide an opportunity for Tony Khan to bring former WWE Champion Edge to the Jacksonville-based promotion and make him the face of AEW Collision.
With the arrival of the Rated-R Superstar, this could be a significant turning point for the Jacksonville-based promotion.
