AEW Rumor Roundup: Former WWE World Champion might be coming to AEW Dynamite, CM Punk may not be wanted, ROH Star possibly signing, and more (October 02, 2019)

#3 AEW may not be interested in working with CM Punk anymore

Punk out

According to a recent report, it's been understood that AEW may no longer be interested in working with CM Punk. Punk claimed that AEW only texted him offers and he seemed put off by that. Cody Rhodes disputed these claims, saying that every effort was made to sign him. While Cody said that he's unsure if Punk will sign, Rhodes said that the door was open for him in the future.

Dave Meltzer revealed on Wrestling Observer Radio why AEW officials may not be interested in working with him.

"Even though AEW has told me that they would never work with him, and I believe that they believe that on this day... they told me that after the Marc Raimondi article. They were very - I said like. I mean my thought was you never say never, but, no no... it would be difficult. But, yeah yeah, it was pretty much told to me that they would never - they felt very disrespected by what he said, and they should have if you know what the real story was and I can’t go into too much detail, but I do know it, and, you know, it’s Punk.”

It's still unclear whether CM Punk would ever sign with AEW or vice-versa. At the moment, it's also rumored that Punk could return to WWE to host the FS1 studio show. This could pave the path for a return to the ring.

Could CM Punk end up in AEW? Never say never in the professional wrestling business.
