Ehh truth somewhere got to be in the middle as can’t always trust what Konnan say. Does sort of fly in the face of what Punk was saying before about none of them calling him about a contract offer 

[Le Champion]

Wasn't Punk mad because they texted him a contract offer? Either way, this isn't hard to believe. Dude has an incredibly high opinion of himself and I don't think he'd be a good fit for the locker room culture IMO.

[Dub H]

I mean yeh probably.

I picture Punk just demanded a bunch of money and AEW decided even if its Punk it isnt worthy it.

It just seems like a very safe guess

Konnan says alot of stuff pmao

[This Player Hating Mothman]

Yeah this is Konnan I'm not believing a word of it

Considering he has a podcast (which is where this quote is from), I wouldn't hold my breath.

I mean AEW was probably interested, and I don’t think that Punk wants to wrestle anymore so he probably quoted them a ridiculous price and wouldn’t budge and if they actually paid it he would take it, but AEW isn’t ran by Eric Bischoff ao they weren’t that dumb.

Not that I'm saying punk isn't self-centered enough to demand a lot of money, but that could just be his way of getting them to leave him alone, too.

You can keep saying "not interested" until the cows come home, but throwing out a number you know damn well they won't want to meet is a sure-fire way to keep them from calling you.

If this is true then CM Punk gave them the "f*** Off" price

I feel like if this was the case Punk would straight up say it.he has never been shy of complaining of people pestering him before

I don't trust Konnan but I still find it incredibly funny the road Punk eventually took back and what a disaster it was lol

[Jaws the Shark]

Yeah, he probably did. And I can understand why, he got ground down so much by wrestling that perhaps he's decided it would take a seriously huge payday for him to risk putting himself through all of that again.

I know as a person CM Punk is a bit divisive, but I can't hate him. He's clearly capable of being a very stubborn and difficult man, but as a stubborn and difficult man myself I quite admire how little of a shit he gives about diplomacy and social politics in wrestling and indeed in life.

Ah, I've always thought the guy was overrated. The only times I found Punk interesting is after his infamous pipe bomb promo and the E quickly ruined that, and until his first MMA loss. The guy's ego outstripped his accomplishments long ago.

[Cyno]

How the f*** would Konnan know anyway? lol

Yeah, good talker but average at everything else. And I can't look past his self-entitled behavior or his penchant for coming across as the martyr in situations.

Cody even said in an interview they contacted him directly, but Punk gonna Punk and say stuff that makes him look good and everyone else look bad.

I think he has that Vince McMahon mental issue where they take reality, twist it into fiction, and then believe that fiction as reality.

[honsou]

I mean he did tell Janella he'd do Spring Break for a billion dollars.

[4TheGlory]

Nah he probably wanted a medium amount of money
