Tony Khan was recently interviewed by the NY Post and did a solid job of not answering questions relating to CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. The AEW President would state, however, that “there are certainly a lot of exciting rumors right now.”
When asked if he had “signed and/or talked to any former WWE champions” lately, Khan was quick to say there were some things he would not be commenting on during the interivew.
“I have no comment on those, but those are good questions but I can’t comment on those,” Khan said.
Khan was then asked what it would mean if another wrestling promotion were to sign CM Punk and/or Daniel Bryan.
“I can’t comment on those two guys, but I think there are certainly a lot of exciting rumors right now,” Khan said.
Tony Khan on Fight for the Fallen
Tony Khan would comment on what Fight for the Fallen has come to mean for AEW over the last few years. This will be the 3rd event in its history.
“I think it’s one of our major events — the charitable component really makes it stand out — and an important event on the calendar, and it’s something we’ve done from the beginning. It predates even ‘Dynamite.’ We always load it up with big matches, I always try to put a lot of great matches on a “Fight for the Fallen” card, but also now it will have an extra special touch to it because the event is also about helping people.”
