Trending
CM Punk was recently interviewed by ESPN's Marc Raimondi and there were a few quotes from the Former WWE Superstar that didn't go down well with some of the AEW employees.

Punk spilt the beans regarding a text message offer he received to join AEW around a month ago. The former WWE Champion made it clear that he has no intention to get back to wrestling and that he was prepared for the AEW speculation that would arise as soon as he accepted the offer to headline Starrcast.
On the August 5th edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer stated that some people in AEW are not happy with the situation as they were under the impression that the company were 'dealing up-front' in business with Punk.
Meltzer noted on the Newsletter:
"Some in AEW were upset about the quotes, nothing that they felt they were dealing up-front in business with him and felt that when people in the company have asked about Punk coming, they’ve always been honest, nothing they were interested but that Punk had expressed no interest, but that Matt Jackson and he were in contact. Khan and Cody have also been in contact at times and there was a feeling this interview implied when Khan would say he has a great relationship with Punk but it’s up to Punk whether he comes, that he’s exaggerating things. The reality is that Punk hasn’t responded to the idea of opening up talks, and that’s as far as it had gone at the time of the interview."
