Tony Khan admits surprise with CM Punk tag

Speaking to Wrestling Inc on a podcast, Tony Khan revealed he was surprised why CM Punk chose to tag him with the folks from WWE. Tony admitted that Punk was not the first person he wanted to talk to about AEW, but he was on a list of top people he wanted to talk to about working with AEW.

Tony Khan wanted to make it clear that he never tried to lead anyone into believing that Punk was going to be working with AEW.

"I haven't talked to him for a long time. I wish him the best and am not sure why he tagged me but it's hard to talk about all of the great things happening in wrestling without talking about AEW."
