Konnan Says CM Punk Returning To WWE Would Be A Slap In AEW’s Face

CM Punk has been missing from AEW programming since his verbal outburst at the All Out media scrum. He was also injured when competing against Jon Moxley in the September 4th bout. However, Konnan recently shared his thoughts on Punk possibly returning to WWE following news that AEW would be buying out his remaining contract.

Konnan claimed during an episode of the Keepin’ It 100 podcast that the return of CM Punk to WWE would be a direct shot at AEW. However, he thinks Tony Khan won’t ever be embarrassed by the possible action.

“If they were to bring CM Punk in it would be a major major cool, right? And it’s a way to WWE and Punk to tell AEW ‘f**k you’, okay? But from what we are hearing, he has a no compete, so that’s not gonna happen. You can tell, he [Tony Khan] is not gonna be embarrassed like that, you know what I’m saying? He’s not gonna let him go and without that no compete being enforced.”

Konnan said that Punk appeared to have left AEW under the worst possible situations, as he took a dig at the company’s EVPs.

“But the other thing, I also think Disco, we have to look at, he left under the worst terms possible. And I think what he did at AEW just solidified all the people that didn’t want him in there by saying, ‘Look at what he did over there, you know, wasn’t just over here and you want to bring that back here?’ You know what I’m saying.”

It is unclear what CM Punk’s future holds, especially in light of the possibility that The Elite, Kenny Omega, and The Young Bucks, will rejoin AEW. Stay tuned to Ringside to get the latest updates.
