TONY KHAN SHOOTS DOWN RUMORS CM PUNK HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH COLT CABANA GOING TO ROH

In an new interview with Forbes today promoting the AEW All Out PPV this Sunday, AEW President Tony Khan was asked about the speculation and rumor that Colt Cabana being moved to Ring of Honor from AEW had anything to do with CM Punk, stating in response:

"There is certainly a perception out there that I don’t think is accurate that when I purchased Ring of Honor and also [as] some of the contracts were coming up and I was starting to make moves—whether it was renewing them in most cases or not renewing them or in some cases reassigning people—there was a misconception that was perpetuated unfairly that CM Punk had anything to do with me wanting to move Colt Cabana to the Ring of Honor roster when his contract came up.”

“I will clarify that, just to take it head on, that he [Punk] had nothing to do with any of the contracts I picked up, whether I did or didn’t. But in particular, I did pick up Colt Cabana’s contract and gave him a similar contract to do different work.  I don’t know if it was fair that that got perpetuated...I also didn’t think that was fair to Punk.”

Cabana was in Germany for AEW promoting their forthcoming video game last month.
