CM Punk rumored to be discussing a return to wrestling with AEW.

Did Punk come down on his price? Last year, AEW's Cody Rhodes said Punk was asking for a huge sum of money, so AEW passed.

Are they related to The Rock? Just like Nia Jax has not lost her job after injuring others.

YES!

 

[big dog cowboy]

Braun Strowman never should have been released.

Never. There are others. Dean Ambrose for example.

I doubt it. Like the rest, he sees the easy money to be made from Jacksonville Dixie for doing little work. I can’t blame him. Just like WCW and TNA, get the easy money while it lasts.

Ambrose wasn’t released. He wanted out and they couldn’t talk him out of it or pay him enough to stay.

That's why I don't think you'll be seeing Lesnar anytime soon.

I disagree. Lesnar is the one guy who has Vince McMahon wrapped around his finger. Brock will get whatever his asking price is, for a minimum of appearances. He’s always been able to negotiate deals that no one else ever could.

When do you think we'll see Lesnar again? WM in April?

When do you think we'll see Lesnar again? WM in April?

I would say potentially Survivor Series or the Royal Rumble and lead up to Wrestlemania. Apparently they wanted him fur SummerSlam but he wasn’t ready to come back so they couldn’t work out a deal.

So we get Oldberg the consolation prize.

Won't be near that long from now. I'd say Royal Rumble at the absolute latest.

I think he only wants to wrestle in front of the largest crowds. My money is Jerry World with a capacity of nearly 100,000.

Lesnar just cares about the $$$ that Vince pays him per appearance.

That’s it.

The issue is that Vince needs those people buying tickets in order to afford to PAY the big money guys like Lesnar.

Rumors now saying that AEW has also signed Daniel Bryan as well. If they got both he and a returning CM Punk, they’ll have huge buzz and momentum to potentially compete with WWE.

I'm all for it. Personally I'm not a goat face fan but like he is a wrestler and not a fighter. I know he is a huge fan favorite and AEW signing him should really get Vince's attention.

I’m a HUGE fan of his. He sees wrestling- and life in general - in much the same ways that I do. I think his loss is a tremendous one for WWE, and a huge coup for AEW. I will really miss seeing him.

I can’t help but to have a feeling of deja vu and flashbacks to how the WEF allowed WCW to become a competitor by falling asleep at the wheel and letting talent after talent get away.

If Shad Khan is willing to dish out money while AEW is in the red for a few years, McMahon may have more if a fight than he bargained for. And more than he himself has the energy to handle.

Man I agree with every single word of that post!

Just think - AEW could add Bryan, Strowman and Punk in the next 60 days. All former WWE champions. Vince better start making better decisions soon or he might be looking up at AEW in the tv ratings.
