Now, what I can tell you with negotiations with Punk are that Punk did, in fact, negotiate with AEW. I know that Punk’s story, I don’t even know what his story is now but I know that the story he gave indicated like they (AEW) sent me some texts and it was this and it was that. CM Punk met in person with Tony Khan about AEW and they offered him a lot of money, and he ended up doing this WWE on FOX gig.
