Wrestling veteran Konnan shares his thoughts on former AEW star CM Punk's potential return to WWE
Wrestling veteran Konnan recently gave his thoughts on CM Punk's potential return to the Stamford-based promotion.
Speaking on his Keepin' It 100 podcast, the wrestling veteran talked about WWE trying to keep the former AEW World Champion's return a surprise.
"He's not gonna say it. I've had people before, Nick (Aldis) did it on the show, where we were like, 'Hey, can you confirm or deny if you're going there?' He already knew he was going. He was like, 'No, I can't.' And even me, they said, 'Do not post anything that you're going to be in the Hall of Fame,' because even Disco asked me on the show. Like they like secrecy, and that's good. I like surprises."
Furthermore, he also spoke about Dave Meltzer squashing the rumors of CM Punk:
"Imagine him, and I'm not saying this is the reason, because maybe he isn't going back. Nobody knows, but imagine that they took the step of doubling down, and going to show up on IMPACT backstage, so they think you're going there," Konnan said.
It seems that Konnan believes the rumors of Punk is returning to WWE.
