Text Q&A about the CM Punk story (Patreon)
Content
To battle some misinformation, I wanted to do a text based Q&A regarding CM Punk and our story. Ask away
To clear some things up --
- This information procured was unprompted. In these situations, the sources (higher ups in WWE) are not in the business of working media -- that is not productive for either side. Quite literally, it has never been a thing we've experienced. They'd simply not reach out or respond instead.
- We were outright told that they didn't want unrealistic expectations for Survivor Series.
- To answer the question "why would they spill to a dirt sheet writer and spoil the surprise!?" They wouldn't. They also wouldn't debunk things that they knew were setting unrealistic expectations. This happened with Bray Wyatt's constant rumored returns in the spring, and Randy Orton's rumored return at Summerslam.
- CM Punk isn't signed, and both higher ups in WWE who would absolutely know, and those close to Punk say that they are not in negotiations as of now.
- Talent have unanimously been told that WWE is not working on a Punk return as of now. This includes some that have made references to Punk on air.
- I do not know what Dave Meltzer reported, and didn't say it was wrong, contrary to what someone on the board said.
- We do not know if there's an NDA or non compete clause.
