An unlikely name has come into Tony Khan\'s defence amid the drama surrounding Rey Fenix\'s AEW status following Penta\'s WWE debut.
The discussion about AEW extending Fenix\'s contract picked up again on Saturday after the high-flying star posted a picture of himself on social media. The former champion was seen wearing a straightjacket in the photo indicating that he was being \'restrained\' by the company.
Former WWE star Tom Pestock better known to fans as Baron Corbin came in support of Khan over the issue. Responding to a post suggesting that Tony should let Rey Fenix out of his deal, Corbin claimed that you need to honor your contract:
\"If you sign a contract, you honor it. Would it have been okay if Tony didn’t pay him while he was hurt or out of action? The answer is no bc Tony signed the contract as well. You can’t switch teams after getting what you want and signing the contract.\

Baron Corbin also responded to some other objections to his remarks in the thread suggesting that there might be more to the story of Fenix and AEW than people know.
The former WWE star\'s comments actually align with what the AEW star himself has suggested in the past. He\'s previously claimed that a \'huge injustice\' has been done to him and that he\'ll get the chance to speak the truth one day.
