WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has agreed with some of CM Punk's recent comments on AEW and Tony Khan.

CM Punk recently buried AEW and CEO Tony Khan on the MMA Hours podcast with Ariel Helwani. Punk called Tony Khan as "not a real boss" and questioned his leadership, and it appears Khan will answer to Punk's comments on the next Dynamite. The All-Elite CEO recently announced that the organization will screen unique backstage footage from the All-In 2023 PPV, where CM Punk got into a backstage fight with Jack Perry.

Speaking on the Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T seems to agree with CM Punk's statement about TK being too soft. The veteran explained how a boss can not become friends with his talent as he may have to fire them in the future.

"I've said it many, many times. It's just like me with Reality of Wrestling, I love all the guys that come and perform and work for me, but I can't really get close to the guys. I can't become like, friends and buddies with the guys. Because you know, I may have to fire him. I may have to tell them, 'Hey, we're not gonna be booking you anymore.' The work may not be up to par something, and I might have to say it, and say it in a certain way. And when you do that, you can't be friends with a lot of these guys. And I feel like that's one of Tony Khan's biggest mistakes, is just being too friendly with the talent." H/T:[WrestlingInc]
