CM Punk recently said in an interview that he had received texts from Cody Rhodes. While many began to wonder if this meant that Punk was ready to return to the ring, Rhodes himself took to social media to dispel the rumors in a way.
During an impromptu Q&A session, a fan asked Rhodes if he was planning on offering Punk a contract in person. Rhodes responded by saying that someone from All Elite Wrestling had met with Punk and that the two had also spoken via texts, but no offers were given out. Rhodes also said that he wouldn’t be surprised if Punk made a return to the WWE, but that the door would be open for him to join AEW should he want to.
I think he was misquoted. I know 1 of us had met with him in person, and yes I texted him plenty when we couldn’t connect on the actual phone, but not a contracted offer. I wouldn’t be surprised if he went back to wwe. Regardless, great wrestler & guy. Door is open if he wants it https://t.co/3ityuurGGy
