After the formation of All Elite Wrestling, rumors circulated that former WWE Star CM Punk is gonna join AEW. Few weeks ago, Konnan revealed that Punk wanted ‘Astronomical amount of money’ to join AEW. Now, Cody Rhodes opens up about the details of AEW negotiations with Punk.
During and interview given to TalkSPORT, Cody revealed the details of the negotiations with Punk. He said there were negotiations, but it was not serious. He said that they still have a good relationship with Punk.
“As far as the CM Punk negotiations go, everyone heard the famous ‘he got a text from us’. Yeah, of course, there were negotiations and he did ask for a great amount of money and Punk is worth a great deal of money.”
“But in that situation the negotiations, I don’t think they ever got too serious. Doesn’t mean they won’t one day, but they never got entirely too serious. I think there is a good relationship there. I think I have a good relationship with Phil, I believe Tony does too and I’m not sure really when it comes to him, it’s not so much about the money. It’s about are you interested in doing this?”
“Because the price tag becomes a lot more justifiable if you’re genuinely interested in what we’re doing at the high speed we’re doing it. And again, that’s not even specific to him, just in general, if the passion is not there, the money is not there.”
You can never say never in the pro wrestling world. As of now, Punk no longer work with FOX as WWE Backstage got cancelled.
