AEW Executive Vice President Cody was recently interviewed on Collider Live in advance of the All Elite Wrestling “Dynamite” debut this Wednesday on TNT.
During the interview, Cody was asked about CM Punk & the possibility of Punk working for AEW in the future.
“He did kind of make us look like dumbasses, saying we sent him a text offer. I’m sure we texted him, but we also called him. Someone also met you in a coffee shop. We made genuine efforts. But in this case, 2019, it’s been quite some time away from the ring. We gotta focus on who really wants to be on board with us versus going out and finding someone who perhaps doesn’t really want to be part of this.”
“I’m sure we’ll run into each other at some point. If he ever wanted to be part of this and he had the passion to come back to wrestling, that door is always open. No ego, no situation would ever prevent us from having him come in because the fans have never given up on Punk. Ever. It’s crazy.”
