#1 CM Punk was Tony Khan’s first choice for AEW
AEW’s president Tony Khan is a lifelong wrestling fan. He understands that the ‘Best in the World’ CM Punk is a big name in the industry, who was also his first choice to sign with AEW – even before he decided to sign Chris Jericho and The Young Bucks.
Tony considers Punk as a hidden gem and it’s true. The former WWE Champion possesses enough power to attract new eyeballs to watch AEW on a regular basis. And nothing could be better than becoming your boss’ favorite employee.

Joining AEW would benefit him in many ways. He would also get more creative freedom than WWE and most probably, Cody Rhodes and Co. wouldn’t snatch victories from his hands at the last moment. In every way, Punk’s signing with AEW is better for both parties and for the fans as well. I sincerely hope he joins AEW soon and continues doing what he loves, wrestling.
