AEW is not official just yet for CM Punk, so this could only mean that WWE may still be an option. It looks like WWE have tried extremely hard to keep Punk from going anywhere but their company. Becky Lynch WWE Return Opponent Leaks.
On the most recent episode of ‘The Nitty Gritty Dirt Show,’ which features the dynamic duo of Vince Russo and Billi Bhatti, we were once again thankful to hear all the news as it pertained to all things professional wrestling. On this episode, Billi and Vince discussed what’s on everyone’s minds as of now and that is CM Punk. Light was shed on this topic and you won’t want to miss what was said.
As transcribed by Wrestling-Edge, the following was stated…
Previously, Billi Bhatti said the following about WWE offering CM Punk a spot: “The idea was – and you can go check this up with anywhere that’s available – CM Punk, like, WWE wanted him to come back. August the 2nd on Monday Night Raw in Chicago, IL, which is where they are, they were so confident that they would be able to do this – is the only Raw that John Cena isn’t on from the ‘John Cena summer tour’ is August the 2nd in Chicago. If you’re telling me that it’s random – that’s crazy. He’s done every Raw but Chicago. CM Punk has not taken that deal. He has told them that that’s not what he wants to do.”
After this, Bhatti dived a bit deeper into what could happen next: “The idea of Triple H turning on him and then re-signing him and then turning on him and it basically being Triple H’s Summerslam was not what CM Punk wanted to do. Would he do it for more money? Maybe he will. As far as WWE is concerned, he’s turned around and said ‘I don’t want to take that deal, I don’t want to take that deal, I don’t want to take that creative.’
