-- Speaking following last night's AEW Revolution PPV, CM Punk discussed Tony Khan's purchase of ROH and as such, its video library. Punk said that he was "relieved" that Khan bought it rather than Vince McMahon's WWE. After he left WWE, Punk's footage as well as royalties and how it would be worked out with the WWE Network were major points of disagreement that he had with the company.
"I was relieved. Let's be honest. Either Tony was gonna buy it, or Vince was gonna buy it. And I don't want Vince to own my footage. He owns enough of it and I don't get paid off it. I've watched my royalty checks, which I still get, dwindle to nothing, because they just put everything on the network. And the boys don't get paid. That's not just me, that's everybody. That's criminal.
"I loved ROH so much, and I can't explain how happy that I am that my footage, it's in good hands. It's just good to know it's in the hands of somebody who will treat it well. I literally feel like my baby is in someone's hands who will raise the child the right way and do good things with it. And it won't get made into just some tab on a sh*tty, confusing app that's hard to navigate and the boys don't get paid anything off it."
