#6 CM Punk looking for a blank check from WWE
Let's talk about CM Punk returning to WWE. Again!
We have another interesting backstage development courtesy of Dave Meltzer. It was revealed in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that WWE has stopped offering its top-tier talents signed blank checks.
It was added that CM Punk is reportedly looking for such an offer, at least that's what the folks backstage in the WWE think.
Here's what was noted in the WON:
WWE hasn’t been signing blank checks and guys who are near the top asking for giant money haven’t gotten the blank check. Those in WWE believe Punk is another guy looking for that. Both sides have had their moments where they’ve sworn off ever doing business with him, but this is wrestling and it’s competition and if there is the belief he can move numbers, there is no such thing as never."
Let's all continue believing in the adage, 'Never Say Never'!
