WWE President Nick Khan was asked by ESPN’s Marc Raimondi about any interest the company might have in CM Punk after his notable termination from AEW on September 2, with Khan responding:
“Listen, we only have respect for Phil. We appreciate his run here. We appreciate what he did and tried to do with the UFC. Not many people can actually get in there and do what he did. So, when we have respect for Phil, we wish him nothing but the best.”
Punk famously fought twice in the UFC after his departure from WWE in 2014, losing both fights; the bout against Mike Jackson changed to a no contest after Jackson tested positive for marijuana.
Punk, who was terminated with cause following an incident at AEW All In with Jack Perry, has yet to comment on the situation or his future in professional wrestling.
