>During the contract negotiations which started in 2019, Phil Brooks (CM Punk) told AEW owner Tony Khan explicitly that under no circumstance would he sign with AEW if the then former RoH Tag Champions The Briscoes "ever set foot in an AEW locker room or ring."
>"I'll sign with Vince [McMahon] before I work in the same organization with those homophobes."
>This could explain the bonds developed between Brooks and the tag team FTR after his signing with AEW.
