• Cody Rhodes Thinks CM Punk Will Return To WWE

During a recent interview with ESPN, former WWE wrestler CM Punk revealed that AEW did offer him a contract, but he didn’t like the way they offered him a contract.

Below is what Punk said:

“The last thing I got — I got a text from Cody [Rhodes]. And again, I almost don’t even know how to reply to them sometimes, because if I reply, they do interviews and are like, ‘Oh yeah, I just talked to Punk’. I’m kind of damned if I do, damned if I don’t. I always think if somebody wants to do business with me, they can come talk to me. Texting offers isn’t really a way to do good business, at least.

It was texted through three people and an offer came in through text. This is like a month ago, maybe.

I think it was just a general offer. I never could have done the last one in Vegas [Double or Nothing], because I was in California for CFFC.”

AEW Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes addressed Punk’s comments during a Q&A session on Twitter and below is what Cody wrote:

I think he was misquoted. I know 1 of us had met with him in person, and yes I texted him plenty when we couldn’t connect on the actual phone, but not a contracted offer. I wouldn’t be surprised if he went back to wwe. Regardless, great wrestler & guy. Door is open if he wants it https://t.co/3ityuurGGy
