CM Punk’s appearance at WWE RAW in Chicago has ignited a new conspiracy theory, with some speculating that Tony Khan, owner of AEW, may have known about the visit all along. While speaking to Haus of Wrestling, Wade Keller suggested that Khan may have given his blessing to Punk, recognizing the potential for positive PR for AEW.

However, Keller also acknowledged the legal implications of contract tampering and suggested that Khan may have publicly disavowed knowledge of Punk’s visit to cover himself. He noted that while he has no reason to believe that this is the case, it is important to consider all reasonable options.

Despite the theory, Keller and others believe that Khan did not know ahead of time and have expressed concerns about Punk’s lack of social awareness. This sentiment was echoed by Eric Bischoff, who previously criticized Punk with harsh words, calling him “a bitch” and stating that he has “zero respect” for him.

It is worth noting that Punk has not commented on the rumors, and there is no concrete evidence to support the conspiracy theory. However, the speculation has added another layer to the drama surrounding Punk’s involvement in the wrestling world.

Punk’s appearance at RAW in Chicago certainly garnered attention, with fans eager to see what the former WWE star had in store. While the conspiracy theory may never be confirmed or denied, it highlights the ongoing tensions and rivalries in the world of professional wrestling.

As the wrestling world continues to evolve, fans will undoubtedly continue to speculate and theorize about the behind-the-scenes machinations that fuel the industry. Whether or not the truth behind the CM Punk conspiracy theory is ever revealed, it adds another chapter to the ongoing saga of wrestling’s biggest stars.
