AEW President Tony Khan addresses claim that was made by CM Punk during shoot interview

During his shoot interview on The MMA Hour just prior to WWE Wrestlemania 40, CM Punk claimed that AEW did not pay for his surgery after he suffered a torn triceps at the 2022 All Out PPV event. Punk said the following…

“Nobody in the company spoke to me for I don’t know, six months. Paid for my surgery, booked my surgery. Thankfully Doc Sampson, who I knew from WWE and had a good rapport with, helped me with that but I was on my own for all that stuff.”

While speaking at a media call to promote the 2024 Dynasty PPV event, AEW President Tony Khan was asked about Punk’s claim. Here was Khan’s response…

“We typically do pay those expenses. I’d have to look into that. I can’t say for sure. It doesn’t sound right to me. If that is the case, I would reimburse him, honestly. I didn’t think that was the case and it doesn’t sound right, so I would have to look into that. Typically, we do cover those medical expenses, especially for something that occurred in the ring, as that did, so I would have to look into that. I can’t say for sure.” (quote courtesy of Fightful.com)
