1) Fox Wanted WWE To Send An Offer To CM Punk
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, FOX wanted WWE to make an offer to CM Punk. It was also noted that WWE didn’t want to bring Punk back.
Here is what Meltzer wrote:
Those in WWE continually said they had no interest in him. When it became clear there was a good chance of his going to AEW, FOX, who had a good relationship with him from signing him to WWE Backstage, wanted WWE to make an offer to him. WWE supposedly responded saying that the money figure he wanted was too high. FOX was so interested in him returning to WWE and not AEW, they reportedly they responded by wanting to help out. But WWE officials then said there were other reasons they didn’t want him, the attitude issues and such.
My Take:
- I still think Punk would have signed with AEW, even if WWE matched the money he wanted. AEW feels like a better fit for him, especially with his history with WWE.
