CM Punk Comments On What Would Make Him Return To The Ring

On the last Oral Sessions podcast with Renee Paquette, former WWE wrestler CM Punk discussed what it would take for him to get back into a wrestling ring. 

“I think the landscape currently is much different than when I left.  You can play the game where if AEW was an option, would you have gone right after you left WWE?  If you are going to play that game, there is no way they (WWE) would have handled it the way they handled it by suspending me for two months and nobody contacting me and the next thing you know, I got my release papers on my wedding day.  There is no way that would have happened if there was an AEW.  They probably would have approached me and said my suspension is up and asked if I am ready to go back to work.  Without wanting to insult anybody on either side of the fence, any WWE or AEW talent, it would take, above all, an interesting scenario.  It would take a story that would be fun to tell and also the stupidest amount of money.  But, they can save themselves a lot of money if they present a fun storyline.  Now, what that is, I don’t know.  I’m a pretty picky guy, especially at this point.  There are more interesting people on the AEW side for me to wrestle and that’s because I’ve never wrestled them before.”
