CM Punk is making news again, but this time it’s not as divisive.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Punk is currently rehabbing the torn triceps he suffered at AEW All Out. Meltzer reported that his recovery is going “really well.” Regarding his contractual status, he is still under contract to AEW and his merchandise has been sold at recent live events. It was reported last month that the two sides were negotiating a buyout of his deal but there are no updates regarding the status of those discussions.
Meltzer also discussed the Colt Cabana situation as well as the possibility of signing with WWE. In regards to Cabana, Meltzer states:
“Colt Cabana wrestling Chris Jericho only made things worse as far as issues with the two sides. Punk remains adamant he had nothing to do with Cabana being gone,” Meltzer wrote. “A lot of talent in AEW believes and insists differently and it’s openly talk about.”
It was also noted it was a Tony Khan decision and not one from another party. In regards to the possibility of Punk signing in WWE, Meltzer says:
“We’ve asked about the potential for Punk here, and it appears from a creative team standpoint it’s not positive because most of them follow what happened in AEW,” Meltzer wrote. “However, they also recognize this is going to be a Levesque/McMahon/Nick Khan call and even with some negative things said and interactions, if you are just talking business, it is something bigger than anything else they could create.”
