Why CM Punk Can’t Negotiate a Deal with WWE Right Now

CM Punk is a name that has always been associated with drama, and his recent backstage visit to WWE on April 24th during RAW was no exception. However, recent developments suggest that his visit was not as dramatic as fans initially thought.

According to a reports, CM Punk spent his time backstage mingling with WWE talent and speaking with several individuals, including The Miz, Bobby Lashley, Baron Corbin, Tamina, and primarily Paul Levesque. He remained in a communal area backstage throughout his visit and did not attempt to have secret meetings or gauge interest in a WWE return, nor was it a publicity stunt ahead of his impending return to AEW, despite what some fans speculated.

Punk reportedly wanted to speak to Levesque privately and asked if he could stay backstage for couple of minutes. However, Levesque informed him that he would have to ask Vince McMahon for permission. McMahon was not present at the event and was working remotely. He decided that Punk was not allowed to stay and security escorted him out of the building.

The reason for Punk’s visit seems to have been to reconcile with individuals he had issues with in the past. The former WWE Champion was respectful throughout his visit, and there were no issues reported. He left the backstage area when he was asked to.

Some fans have speculated that Punk was trying to negotiate a WWE contract during his visit. However, it is highly unlikely that negotiations of this magnitude would take place during a live event, especially considering that Punk is currently under contract with AEW.

Wrestling contracts are legally binding agreements that govern the professional relationships between wrestlers and their employers. Breaching these agreements can result in legal action being taken against the wrestler and the company they are contracted to.

Even if Punk’s contract with AEW was not an issue, negotiating a contract with WWE backstage during a live event would be highly unlikely. Negotiations of this nature require careful consideration and are not usually conducted in a haphazard manner. WWE and AEW are competitors, and any negotiation between Punk and WWE would have to involve both companies’ legal teams, which would undoubtedly take time.

CM Punk’s recent visit to WWE backstage during RAW was not as dramatic as fans initially thought. It was merely an opportunity for him to reconcile with individuals he had issues with in the past.

Despite speculation, it is highly unlikely that Punk was attempting to negotiate a WWE contract during his visit, given his current contractual obligations to AEW. Fans should enjoy Punk’s time with AEW and wait patiently to see what the future holds.
