CM Punk Not Returning to AEW? Buyout Talks Happening


Dave Meltzer is reporting that AEW is in talks to buyout CM Punk’s contract. He said that people close to the situation have said they’re looking to buy out his contract. The issue reportedly has to due with his non-compete clause. 


Which Meltzer is speculating could be a sign they’re worried CM Punk will go to WWE. This could be Tony being extra cautious or maybe CM Punk could be on his way back to WWE. 




I’ll have my thoughts on video today about him going back to WWE potentially. I’d love to see it but I don’t know if it’ll happen. I have another interesting idea that I’ll be talking as well. 


Let me know if you think we’ll see CM Punk in AEW again or if this is it? I think at this point, they just want to wipe their hands clean of CM Punk and move on.

He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years.       How they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent
