Former AEW World Champion CM Punk was involved in a major brawl this week on WWE RAW. A section of fans on social media did not take long to post snapshots from the fight and take aim at the 46-year-old star's former boss, Tony Khan.

The self-proclaimed Best in The World had a controversial run in All Elite Wrestling, which ended when Punk was terminated from the company after his backstage fracas with Jack Perry at All In 2023. Subsequently, All Elite CEO Tony Khan released a statement announcing Punk's firing, claiming that the incident in London had made him feel unsafe.

CM Punk traded barbs with Seth Rollins this week on Monday Night RAW, which led to a massive pull-apart brawl. A screenshot from the fight has been circulating on social media, capturing the former WWE and AEW World Champion's intense facial expression during the scuffle.

As usual, fans on X/Twitter reacted to The Straight Edge Superstar's fight with Rollins by invoking Tony Khan and his remarks about Punk taking shots at the All Elite Wrestling Creative Head.

"Make Billionaires Scared Again. 👏👏👏👏," wrote one user.
"😂" - tweeted another user.
"Nah he wasn’t even that mad about jungle kid. TK is just a little b**ch 🤷‍♂️," wrote a fan.
"still cant believe tk said that dumba** s**t😂," wrote another fan.

The sports entertainment juggernaut later announced that Punk would face The Visionary on the Netflix premiere of RAW next year.

WWE star CM Punk's response to Tony Khan's comments about his AEW termination

Earlier this year, CM Punk spoke about his AEW departure in an interview with Ariel Helwani. Addressing Tony Khan's claim that he had made the All Elite Wrestling President fear for his life, The Second City Saint stated:

"I can't tell you what Tony felt or what he was thinking. But I didn't do anything to make Tony fear for his life. He is who he is. There was a concerted effort to slander me and ruin my character," said Punk.
