Jim Cornette Says There Is No Money In CM Punk vs The Elite

The AEW All Out media scrum ended in chaos after CM Punk went on a scathing rant on Colt Cabana, Page, and The Young Bucks, verbally attacking everyone involved. Punk’s reputation took a nose dive following this incident, while The Elite have now returned to AEW television.

CM Punk has been out of action since All Out as he injured his triceps. He underwent surgery for the condition, and he’s been recovering since then. Meanwhile, The Elite are competing regularly on AEW television since their return.

Some fans have been wondering whether CM Punk will return and face off against The Elite. While speaking on his Jim Cornette Experience, Jim Cornette stated that he feels there is no money in a program between CM Punk and The Elite.

“If they had that lined up, laid out, then all this would be perfectly acceptable. And wishful thinking would indicate, you know that everybody would want to see that, right? Oh, yeah, everybody gets back together. We have this big program, it draws all kinds of money.

But what you are overlooking is the fact that these f*cking douchebags don’t want to draw money. They don’t want anybody to jeopardize their position, their company, their revolution, their movement.

If anybody gets over or is more important than them, or shows people that their wrestling is sh*t, and that people still in larger numbers react to sh*t they can understand, that’s bad.

And you would have to assume that the Buckaroos and Twinkle-toes were willing to work with a guy like Punk who they’ve had heat with, or that Tony would be willing to deal with a guy that’s told him to go f*ck himself or whatever.

Now I know, people are saying, Well, hey, Vince McMahon has put the WWF title on a dozen guys that said f*ck you to him or whatever, before that. Yes, because Vince was all about business.

This is not business. This is fantasy booking by a billionaire boy child. And the incredible windfall that these self-trained, self-important, self-indulgent nitwits have fallen into by getting said billionaire boy child to f*cking fund their goddamn vision of what wrestling is.

And it ain’t working, because they’re in the same place they were three years ago. But they’ve had tons more bad publicity. Ticket sales are going down, ratings are going down, everybody’s getting in a fight backstage.

And the only people in the locker room that have the pull with Tony to get him to do anything, are the ones that are protecting their spots at the expense of everything else.”

AEW also isn’t likely looking at buying out CM Punk’s contract. Only time will tell whether CM Punk will return to AEW or not. For the time being, things seem uncertain for him.
