Tony Khan won't like top AEW star's unexpected WWE visit, says wrestling veteran

AEW President Tony Khan might not be pleased with CM Punk's surprise appearances at the IMPACT Wrestling and WWE RAW events in Chicago, according to wrestling veteran Konnan.

Punk's appearances at the IMPACT Wrestling TV taping and WWE RAW event in Chicago have caused excitement among wrestling fans. Wrestlers from both promotions were happy to see him backstage.

Speaking on his “Keepin’ It 100” podcast, Konnan shed light on the matter, stating that Tony Khan may not be happy with CM Punk's actions and that Punk’s appearance is newsworthy because of the circumstances under which he left WWE.

He also acknowledged that The Voice of the Voiceless' actions were strategic and aimed at generating buzz.

“I think it is news for the fact that, number one, he left under really bad circumstances with WWE. Number two, because he is a controversial figure, and number three, he’s still under contract [with AEW]. I can’t see Tony [Khan] liking this. I can see CM Punk knowing very well what he’s doing and he’s gonna generate a buzz,” Konnan said. [H/T - EWrestlingnews]

It's also unclear whether Khan will take any action regarding the Second City Saints' appearances at other promotions. Nevertheless, it's clear that Punk's star power continues to draw attention in the wrestling world.

Wrestling veteran Konnan worried about The Elite leaving AEW over reported issues with CM Punk

Wrestling veteran Konnan is worried about The Elite's potential departure from AEW due to their reported reluctance to work with CM Punk upon his rumored return to the promotion.

During a recent episode “Keepin’ It 100” podcast, Konnan highlighted the risk of losing three of the promotion's most popular stars for the sake of one and the difficulty it would pose for owner Tony Khan to solve.

“Who knows what problems they’ve had with CM Punk that we don’t know about that they’re like ‘We can’t work with this guy’. Because CM Punk does have a history of being toxic, The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega don’t... The problem is that if you let The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega go and WWE picks them up, that might be something you may not be able to come back from.”
