Hathaway stated that everything that was planned for the Firm didn’t take place because of what happened backstage after AEW All Out. 

He added that the person they were supposed to feud with is no longer a part of AEW. Stokely stated that he was looking forward to this role as he was hand-chosen to do this. He revealed that CM Punk stated that he wants to work with this guy, and it means a lot to him regardless of what happened. 

Some reports indicated that Tony Khan would buy CM Punk out of his contract. However, the negotiation for the same was stalled as they were not able to get on the same page regarding the non-compete clause.
