Cody Rhodes is a prime example that words mean nothing when it comes down to business at the end of the day. Speculation has been rampant about what will happen to CM Punk amid rumors of a contract buyout with AEW.
It was reported last week that CM Punk and AEW were negotiating a contract buyout and that part of the hold up was the non-compete clause, but does CM Punk even have an interest in returning to WWE?
Speaking on his own podcast, Booker T spoke about CM Punk potentially leaving AEW and what the future holds for him. He said, “There’s always a chance, you know, but, I don’t think it’s a big chance or anything like that, that we see CM Punk back in WWE. I don’t think CM Punk wants to go back to WWE. I mean, CM Punk has made it perfectly clear ever since he showed up in AEW what he feels and what he thinks about WWE and everything in it.”
Continuing on, Booker T stated that he didn’t think it was likely that CM Punk would reverse course and decide to right the ship with WWE. He said “We see the turmoil in AEW right now and all of it surrounds CM Punk, every bit of it. People can say, Hangman Page started it, this, that, whatnot, and the other, but you know, that’s like little kids, you know what I mean? Well, he hit me. Well, you hit me first. One of those types of things. I think we’re past that. So, from a business standpoint, no, I don’t see CM Punk back in WWE. That’s just my opinion. I could be wrong, but I don’t see that.”
