He is praising Punk not AEW. All AEW did was hand him a wad of cash and the microphone. Now it is up to AEW to not screw it up. Punk won't put up with bullshit and I would imagine Punk has some kind of creative clause in his contract to be able to say no to doing things he does not want to do.

For the guys who get wrestling, it’s about respect, especially for veterans and legends. Punk is there to help guys get over, but if you disrespect him, he’s going to bury you.
