1) CM Punk Possibly Returning To The Ring
According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select (subscribe here), CM Punk has been in talks to return to the ring. Here is what Sapp wrote:
Fightful Select learned last week that CM Punk has been in talks to make a return to pro wrestling as an in-ring performer, with sources indicating that AEW is the most likely landing point. We have no confirmation of a contract officially being signed, a timetable, a set return date, or any creative plans, only that Punk and a company official have had ongoing conversations about an in-ring return.
As with any negotiations, nothing is ever fully confirmed until the deal is actually done and the subject appears on screen.
We have heard of other companies having interest in Punk coming in to work after fans returned, but have not heard of any specific offers or overtures made towards him.
It was also noted that those in WWE believe that Punk is heading to AEW:
Fightful has not officially confirmed this report with CM Punk himself or All Elite Wrestling officials. We have been told in recent days that higher ups in WWE believe that Punk is headed to AEW.
My Take:
- Rumors of both Punk and Daniel Bryan possibly heading to AEW. These are still just rumors but things have definitely gotten interesting.
