Recently, there were many reports suggesting that CM Punk is in talks with AEW about his possible in-ring return. At the same time, there were other reports broke out that former WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan was also on his way to All Elite Wrestling.
Now, we got the details about Vince McMahon’s backstage reaction regarding CM Punk and Daniel Bryan possibly signing with AEW. Andrew Zarian of Mat Men Wrestling Podcast reported that Vince McMahon is disappointed about the Daniel Bryan but not so much about CM Punk. Here what Andrew Zarian stated:
“There’s a lot of rumors that Vince is very upset and management is very angry, how could they have these two go? I think Daniel Bryan is the disappointment for them, CM Punk not so much. There’s no buzz that I’m hearing coming from the office side that ‘we f’d up by not signing him.’ There’s a lot of people that think his stock is not what it normally would be. They think his UFC losses hurt him. A lot of people worked with him when he was very unhappy and I think that’s the memory that they have. I’m saying from management, not the talent. I think the talent knows what a big deal this is.” (H/T: WrestlingNews.co)
