The Elite are clearly still butthurt about Punk and don't want to work a program with him because they have no direct financial incentive to do so. Even if it's "best for business", the only person who could make any actual money from this is Tony Khan. Such is the drawback with giving people guaranteed deals in an industry filled with bruised egos.
And before anyone says "well that's easy then, tell them if they don't do it they're fired for insubordination"...yeah that sounds easy from afar but it's almost certainly way more complicated. Much like how people said Punk could hold "hostile work environment" over Khan's head, The Elite would just do the same thing. "How can you say we're fired for cause because we didn't want to work with someone who assaulted us?"
Very easy to see how this could turn into yet another legal quagmire. And so that's why Khan is pretty much over a barrel here. He did this to himself.
