AEW President recently spoke with SI.com for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling. During the discussion, Khan discussed the company’s upcoming Forbidden Door II PPV event with NJPW:

“Last year’s Forbidden Door was a challenging time with a number of injuries and travel obstacles, and we were able to come together to put together the best event of the year in wrestling. This year’s Forbidden Door will be the best event either company has ever participated in.”

Khan also commented on CM Punk returning to AEW for the debut of Collision:

“We haven’t seen CM Punk in a long time, since All Out last September. He looked great in his last match. To the fans, he’s very important. He’s very important to the company, too. He’s been a big draw for us and historically throughout his career, and the launch of the new show happens to line up with the schedule on his rehab of his triceps injury.”
