AEW CEO Tony Khan has been the talk of the town lately after airing CM Punk's All In incident footage last week on Dynamite.

CM Punk recently appeared on the MMA Hour podcast hosted by Ariel Helwani and vented out some of his frustrations with AEW. Punk even claimed that nobody from AEW contacted him while he was on the sidelines due to a tricep injury in 2022, and he had to pay for his own treatment. Tony Khan was recently asked about Punk's comments regarding the tricep injury.

On the recent AEW Dynasty Media Call, the All Elite CEO stated that he would look into the matter and claimed that if Punk's injury expense wasn't paid by the company, he would be willing to reimburse The Best in the World.

EC3 recently took a major jab at Tony Khan for airing CM Punk's All In footage

Tony Khan has been facing a lot of backlash for releasing the controversial All In footage of CM Punk and Jack Perry last week on Dynamite. Many veterans have claimed that airing the footage was a big mistake as it would directly affect the company's credibility.

Speaking on a recent edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Outlaws podcast, EC3 called out Tony Khan for releasing the footage and stated that he should focus on promoting the upcoming Dynasty PPV instead.

"Even if you pulled in a million, what are you gonna do with it if you can't deliver a quality product? We should be talking about this. We should be talking about Swerve [Strickland] challenging Samoa Joe, and Bryan Danielson facing Will Ospreay. We should be hyped about some amazing who do what they do best - pro wrestling! But instead, we are talking about a fever dream of an ADHD rich kid gone wild," said EC3.

Tony Khan revealed that the response from TBS about releasing the footage was positive, as it spiked some ratings for Dynamite. It will be interesting to see if the company mentions the footage in the future.
