Tony Khan Says He Can’t Legally Talk About CM Punk’s Return To WWE

After his departure from AEW due to a backstage altercation with Jack Perry at All In 2023, CM Punk made a shocking return to WWE following the main event of Saturday’s Survivor Series 2023 pay-per-view event.

Tony Khan recently did an interview with BBC West Midlands, where he was asked about Punk’s WWE return. The AEW President said,

“Can’t talk about that, nor do I think it’s the time or the place. But I appreciate you asking, and I’m very excited about AEW All In Wembley Stadium. Not to dodge or duck your question, it’s just not something I can legally talk about.“

Report – CM Punk Received ‘Major Money Offer’ From TNA/Impact Wrestling Ahead Of WWE Return

As many of you know by now, CM Punk made his return to WWE at Saturday night’s Survivor Series: War Games 2023 pay-per-view event at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, IL.

Pwinsider is reporting that Punk was considering a “major money offer” made by TNA/Impact Wrestling before finalizing his multi-year deal with WWE on Saturday.

According to the report, Punk was “amazing” during his discussions with TNA/Impact Wrestling, which included dealing with top executives such as Scott D’Amore and Lou D’Angeli.

Sources in Impact believed at one point that the promotion was very close to signing Punk and hoped he would appear at Bound for Glory 2023 as part of the announcement that Impact was rebranding back to TNA.

The conversations continued after Bound for Glory 2023 and people in Impact remained hopeful about bringing Punk in full-time.

However, Impact executives soon realized that Punk could earn a bigger paycheck in WWE, and they were happy for him.

Several Impact wrestlers appreciated the time Punk spent with them when he visited the TV tapings in Chicago, IL.

NWA Powerrr Quietly Added To The CW App – No Official Announcement Made

NWA Powerrr has been quietly added to the The CW App.

On Tuesday, eight episodes from the current 15th season were listed to the “Recently Added” list. As of now, no official announcement has been made.

Additionally, searching for the ‘NWA’ or ‘Powerrr’ does not bring up the show.

The following episodes are currently featured on the app:

* “The New Era”
* “New Era, Old Problems”
* “The Dark Carnival”
* “The G Gets The Love”
* “Keep Your Enemies Close”
* “When TV Stars Align”
* “Musical Chairs”
* “See You In Hell!”

For what it’s worth, “The New Era” is episode 124. This week’s episode, titled “Who’s The Turkey Now?,” is episode 135. So things appear to be out of order.

There is said to be a lot of “confusion” among those who work with the National Wrestling Alliance, as most expected there to be some sort of official announcement made. The belief among many was that Powerrr would always air before the planned reality show, but it wasn’t expected to happen until early 2024.

Finally, it was added that it’ll be “interesting to see how Billy reacts to this.”

In other NWA news, Mims will defend the NWA National Championship on next week’s episode of NWA Powerrr. You can check out the updated lineup for the show below:

* NWA National Heavyweight Championship Match: Mims vs. Carson Drake
* Tiffany Nieves vs. Ruthie Jay
* Tim Storm & Jax Dane vs. Trevor Murdoch & Paul Burchill
* Bryan Idol & Natalia Markova vs. Thom Latimer & Kamille
