Airing backstage footage from All In 2023 is all in the interest of the fans who want to see the best show possible, AEW President Tony Khan has claimed.

On the April 10, episode of AEW Dynamite, behind-the-scenes footage of AEW's largest-ever event will be aired. While not confirmed, many believe this will be footage of the Jack Perry-CM Punk altercation that would result in Punk being fired a week later.

Speaking to Sports Illustrated, Tony Khan said that this will not be a bait-and-switch and that AEW has a history of delivering on its promises. Khan also said the decision to air the footage is simply in AEW's best interest.

"This decision is based on putting on the best show for AEW, as well as driving interest for Dynamite and our Dynasty pay-per-view on April 21."

The Young Bucks will also discuss the footage that is to be aired on Dynamite. Khan added that the AEW EVPs should explain why this is relevant ahead of AEW Dynasty.

The decision to air this footage has been met with criticism, despite Khan's insistence that this is all to give fans the best show. Many have argued that AEW is using the much-anticipated footage as a ratings ploy in the wake of the highly successful WWE WrestleMania 40 event.

There's also an argument to be made that AEW should seek to move on from the backstage incidents that have often overshadowed their production. CM Punk was also part of the infamous All Out 2022 backstage fight that led to himself, The Elite, and others being suspended.

CM Punk's recent interview with the MMA Hour has likely also played a role in Khan's decision. The WWE Raw Superstar was critical of AEW on the show in which he stated that Khan isn't a real boss and that AEW isn't a real company focused on making money.

Punk also gave his take on the All In brawl. In his recollection of events, Punk said he didn't punch anybody but "choked somebody a little bit." Punk stopped when Samoa Joe told him to before telling Khan "You're a clown. I quit."
