Tony Khan, reacted to Eric Bischoff’s remark, stating that “That’s f**king bulls*”t. I can tell”
Moreover, Khan stated, “He [CM Punk] wrestled a bunch of young guys, a bunch of veterans in between there — Will Hobbs, Daniel Garcia, goddamnit. And then he showed up, did the biggest program in terms of everything, TV, box office with MJF. And then he did the goddamn main event here. He’s the biggest part of the financial success in the history of this company. Lets f**king go.”
Khan strongly denied all the WWE legend’s claim. Furthermore, he added that, contrary to his claim, Punk is the most important factor in the company’s financial success.
CM Punk is without a doubt one of the biggest names to emerge from the WWE PG Era. He did, however, leave the WWE in January 2014. Following his departure from the WWE, he made his pro wrestling debut at AEW in 2021. Additionally, his return generated a lot of buzzes and caught the attention of a lot of people.
