Tony Khan Remains Silent on CM Punk’s Status with AEW

Recent developments have brought the ongoing saga between AEW and CM Punk back into the spotlight. A recent message board post prompted CM Punk to share a now-deleted Instagram story, which might have jeopardized his chances of returning to AEW.

While Punk continues his recovery from injury, AEW owner Tony Khan still has time to decide whether to reinstate him, release him, or explore other options.

In the meantime, questions about Punk’s future in AEW remain a frequent topic for Khan, reminiscent of the discussions that began after the media scrum incident following All Out in September.

During a recent talkSPORT interview, Khan was again asked about Punk, and his response remained consistent. “I cannot comment on that,” Khan stated. Despite the repetitive nature of the inquiry, Khan maintained a good-natured attitude.

Recognizing that the questions will persist until a resolution is reached, Khan responded with a jest that many might interpret as a dig at journalist Ariel Helwani, who had previously pressed Khan about Punk’s situation. “Well, better to ask once than seven times in a row after I say ‘no comment,’” Khan quipped. “Who would do that?”
