CM Punk reveals who gets to make decisions for him going forward in AEW

During the AEW Rampage: The First Dance media scrum, CM Punk revealed that All Elite Wrestling General Manager Tony Khan is in pole position to make decisions regarding him.

AEW's newest signee then added that he signed with the promotion to be an "AEW guy" and is also hoping to be a "TNT guy". Punk also mentioned his dedication to All Elite Wrestling in front of the camera and even behind the camera.

CM Punk: I think [Tony Khan] gets pole position regarding things I do. If he tells me he wants me to go be in the G1, we’ll talk about it. I’m here to be an AEW guy, I’m here to be a TNT guy. In front of the camera and behind the camera. #AEWRampage
