Punk revealed that talks with AEW and Khan had been happening for around a year and half and Khan mentioned Punk was one of the names he wanted to sign when AEW launched in 2019.

Punk liked the fact his debut wasn't advertised but laughed with Khan that it was the worst kept secret in pro-wrestling. He wasn't hidden backstage.
Punk said hasn’t had an issue with anyone when asked.
Punk he is here to give back and he just despised what was not professional wrestling. Likely in reference to WWE.
