Prior to Saturday night’s episode of AEW Collision going live, Tony Khan came out to address the live crowd in Chicago, IL as it pertained to his decision to fire CM Punk from All Elite Wrestling earlier in the day.
While the AEW President continued to say how “sorry” he was, the Chicago crowd wasn’t having any of it and booed him constantly as he spoke.
Of course, the city of Chicago is CM Punk’s hometown, so “TK” was sure to be heckled like this.
You can check out some highlights from the pre-show segment below:
